โฆ Synopsis
Apologize, Apologize! takes us into the perversely charmed world of the Flanagans and their son, Collie (His parents named him after their favorite breed of dog.) Collie comes of age on Martha's Vineyard, trying to make sense of his wildly wealthy, hyper-articulate, resolutely crazy family members: a philandering father, incorrigible brother, pigeon-racing uncle, radical activist mother, and a domineering media mogul grandfather (accused of being a murderer by Collie's mother). As Collie searches for his place in the world, he suffers insurmountable loss and grapples for stability in a life where his greatest struggle and achievement is learning to cope with the people he has no choice but to love. Elizabeth Kelley's first novel is brilliantly written and utterly unpredictable -- a remarkable debut.
