by Elizabeth Roper Marcus (Author)
Edna and Leo, a perpetually warring, tyrannical pair in their 80s, begin
wintering In Mexico, where they abandon their usual prudence to embrace
adventure and a bevy of sketchy new friends. Soon, Edna adopts a pair
of shyster builders whom she trusts over her own architect-daughter
Elizabeth, and a farcical house results. Blithely indifferent to the
calamities that result, the pair refuse all help from their
too-compliant only child.
