Oyster - Marianne Ackerman - diskuze

The mysterious death of a patriarch brings the far-flung Cameron family home to Prince Edward County, sending their familiar world into a tailspin.When their father’s sudden death brings Toronto novelist Amelia Cameron and her three siblings together in Prince Edward County for his funeral, the ancient family dynamic crumbles. First, the will — not what anybody expected. Then Amelia’s beautiful young niece, Ginny, an aspiring writer, begs her famous aunt for advice, leading to an innocent bit of typing that brings them to the brink of scandal. Steeped in the legendary County’s urge to sweep gossip under the rug and tamp down high emotion, a family is called to account by events they cannot control. Oyster is both a coming-of-age journey and a big love story, in spite of the teller’s best efforts to avoid emotional truths.
