Publisher's Summary:
In Summerlin, North Carolina, it is - quite literally - a race to the finish. Glenn and Laura Bales lie dying in the same house, and although Laura is more interested in her Whitmans Sampler chocolates, and Glenn in whatever happened to his first wife, Evelyn, their children have their eyes unswervingly fixed on the inheritance. Who will get the money, and what it will mean for this unusual little Southern community is a richly comic novel about endings.

In Memory
I have read all of Clyde Edgertons books. He is whimsicaly sad in the story "In Memory of Junior" He allows his characters the ability to pass off their emotions and deal with them at the same time, a unique talent in writing and human character well portrayed. While reading the story you can feel yourself give that half smug grin, because you become the characters and can't help yourself! The characters are all crazy in a very sane way.
and good descriptions, of events
I bought this book to help complete my Clyde Edgerton collection. It has laughs, and good descriptions, of events. It is.very hard to put down. Clyde Edgerton is a very good writer and always includes funny scenes.
In Memory of Junior
I was so amused when I read Across Egypt years ago that when I had a chance to buy other dvds of Edgerton I bought several that I just couldn't appreciate.
Not my style
The writing style is not to my liking. I find it difficult to make the disjointed phrases and antedotes cohesive, become connected to the characters and still realize a enjoyment of the overall storyline. Having been raised in the south during the 50's and 60's, I recognize some of the characters and situations. Yet overall, I was left wanting.
Many may find a greater connection. But, it fails me.
disappointed.
Expecting the same humor as Walking Across Egypt....disappointed.
