This copy has been SIGNED by Andrea Barrett on the title page! This is a beautiful copy of the UK Edition - issued as a trade paperback only. Henry Auberon, his sister Wiloma, and their 80 year-old Uncle Brendan are a pretty diparate family unit. Henry visits Brendan in his nursing home more out of a sense of duty than real love. And Wiloma, a devotee of a bizarre religious sect, is determined to bring Brendan home with her to allow him to die with his spirit intact.
