Articoli correlati a That Old Cape Magic
Jack and Joy Griffin are back on Cape Cod - where they spent their hope-filled honeymoon - for a wedding. Cracks are begining to show in Jack's peaceful family life and thirty-four year marriage. He's driving round with his father's ashes in an urn in the boot of his car, haunted by memories of bittersweet family holidays spent at the Cape, while his ascerbic mother is very much alive and always on his mobile. He's spent a lifetime trying to be happier than his parents, but has he succeeded?
A year later, at a second wedding, Jack has a second urn in the car, and his life is starting to unravel.

Recensione:
"The remarkable thing about this novel is its resemblance to real life. Russo creates a family that is utterly recognisable and unique...superb" (The Times)

"Wit, elegance.. Russo brings a familiar story to life with deftness and empathy" (Sunday Times)
