What this book is about
At sixty-eight, Astrid finally admits she has been seeing her hairdresser for two years, and the confession cracks open the rest of the family: Elliot with his twins, Porter pregnant by donor, Nicky the ex-actor, and granddaughter Cecelia sent to live in town after trouble at her old school.
