| Publisher Description: The Wapshots return in the sequel to John Cheever's National Book Award-winning novel, The Wapshot Chronicle. In this darkly comic yet deeply compassionate work, Cheever shares the further adventures of the Wapshot clan, which for generations has called the New England village of St. Botolphs home. Now, though, the family is cast far and wide. Coverly Wapshot to a secretive missile test site and the formidable Cousin Honora self-exiled in Italy after finding herself on the wrong side of the IRS. Meanwhile, closer to home, Coverly's brother, Moses, is in dire straits--and worried that he's being haunted by his father's ghost. A powerful, sometimes bawdy work of fiction, The Wapshot Scandal is the story of one eccentric--and sometimes tragic--family from one of our greatest writers. |
