More of Everything - David Small - Bog

Alan Powers is getting on in years, and he's coming to terms with some of the difficult people he's loved in his life, helped by his wife, Marilyn, who is much younger and some ways much wiser. He gets calls from his ex-wife who says she's getting phone calls from their dead son. He deals with his emotionally damaged brother, his surviving son's struggles, and his crazy mother. He must placate the ghosts of past loves and cope with the loss of dear friends. Just as Paris beckons, he is struck down by a serious illness. Yet Marilyn will see that more remains of his life than a quiet summing up, and that in the end all their hard-won dreams will come to pass. MORE OF EVERYTHING is a love story told in a very special voice with moments that will make you laugh and cry, just like real life.
