I usually love Oliver's books but this one fell short. It was about a man who dies and his family comes back to clean out the house and settle his affairs. While they're doing this the ghosts of the houses former occupants are watching and judging and commenting on all that's going on. The characters were quirky but there were a few too many. It was a realistic portrayal of a dysfunctional family in the midst of total disintegration. I just can't say I loved it like her other books.
