Description

A completely unique and amusing book about mothers, kids, and love, from the writer of Behind-The-Scenes in the Museum.On a weather beaten area off the coast of Scotland, Effie and her mother, Nora, take sanctuary in the big, mouldering home of the forebears and tell one another tales. Nora, in the beginning, recounts nothing that Effie truly desires to hear--like who her real father was. Effie informs numerous variations of her life at university, where actually she lives in a tired connection with Bob, students who never would go to classes, rarely gets out-of sleep, and to whom Klingons are as actual as Spaniards and Germans. But as child and mom spin their stories, strange things are happening around them.
