Description
|
|
|
|
In 12 months between 2007 and 2008, Christopher Buckley coped with the passing of his father William F. Buckley, a helmsman of the modern conservative movement, and his mother Patricia Taylor Buckley, one of New York's most glamorous and colorful socialites. He was their only child and their relationship was close and complicated. Writes Buckley: "They were not—with respect to every other set of loving, wonderful parents in the world—your typical mom and dad." His story of their final year together takes readers on a surprisingly entertaining trek through hospitals, funeral homes, and memorial services, capturing the heartbreak and disorientation of becoming a 55-year-old orphan.
