About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when their older teenager is beginning to grapple with the complexities of caring for aging grandparents or witnessing the messy realities of adult family dynamics. While the title sounds technical, the story is actually a sharp, darkly comedic look at two estranged sisters who must reunite to save their elderly father from a manipulative newcomer. It is an honest exploration of how trauma from the 'old country' can ripple through generations, affecting how children see their parents. Parents will find it a valuable tool for discussing elder care, the immigrant experience, and the way family history shapes our present. It is most appropriate for mature teens due to its sophisticated wit and adult themes.
