Rent Wish You Were Here

Synopsis

When Emily Maxwell's husband dies, she knows she has to sell their summer place on Lake Chautauqua in New York State, and for one final week there, she gathers the clan: her daughter, Meg, who has her drinking problem under control--barely; her son, Ken, a failed photographer; Ken's lesbian daughter, who has a crush on Meg's daughter; his son, who steals things; and other equally troubled family members. On a brief trip to Niagara Falls, Emily's memories of her dead husband surface and make everyone realize the magnitude of their loss. A New York Times Notable Book for 2002.
