      Guests

      The month after our mother died, our father began bringing women home. It felt like a behind-her-back kind of operation. “I’m going to have a guest over tonight,” is what he would say. David and I stayed out in the living room, turned up cartoons, bu

      I would not have picked up this memoir, but it was part of a research project I did. The first half is really excellent--the portrait of Glock's grandmother is memorable -- she's an Applachian femme fatale. The second half falters a bit as her grandmother fades out of the picture. It was still a good read, though.
