Go ask Fannie / Elisabeth Hyde, 294 pgs.
The three Blaire siblings meet back in their hometown to visit their father and evaluate situations. Mostly, nothing has changed. Oldest child Ruth is a hard charging lawyer in DC who still irritates her siblings. George a nurse with commitment issues spends his time resenting Ruth and youngest, Lizzie is closest to Dad but just ending a relationship that was never terribly serious but took a turn for the worst. Patriarch Murray is hopeful that his children can get along for an entire weekend but they disappoint him at every turn. Then a discussion starts, the family talks about their shared tragedy when mother Lillian and brother Daniel died in an accident. As the drama of the weekend unfolds, you learn a lot about the family and how each became who they are today. Mostly a family tale with a few characters that irritate but see their way to becoming united.
