Description:
<p>Shayne won&#8217;t get out of the car. It&#8217;s the summer of 1972 and the whole family has come up to Grandpa Murphy&#8217;s cottage for their annual trip. Three generations are out on the property, swimming, wandering through the forest, fixing up the clubhouse, getting ready to sing around the fire, and having a lovely time. And Shayne won&#8217;t get out of the car.</p>&#10;<p>A novel in fourteen stories,<em> East Grand Lake</em> is a lovely, thoughtful, warm-hearted tale of life at the lake with a big family. Following the Murphy Clan from one evening to the next, Tim Ryan captures the many tiny, important dramas that occur simultaneously, sometimes invisibly, when everyone gets together. A pair of brothers hunt frogs. The girl cousins make a bid for supremacy. A boy is afraid of the end of the dock. Over one sun-soaked day, the Murphy family wrestles with grief, aging, betrayal, mental illness, and the many small fictions that occur when people share their lives.</p>&#10;<p>Written with humour, compassion, and authenticity, <em>East Grand Lake</em> welcomes readers into the complex inner world of a large and loving family. This is a book for everyone who misses or wishes for summer vacation.</p>
