4.9/5 (32762 ratings)

Description:This is the story of Gene, a widower, with an elderly mother whom he loves and 80-year-old father, whom he has never loved, hard as he tried. The father has been mayor of a small town in Westchester County, self-made and highly respected. Beneath these trappings, however, he is a mean, unloving and ungenerous man, who has driven his daughter away because of her marriage to a Jew and has alienated Gene with his possessiveness, selfishness and endless reminiscences. Suddenly, the mother dies and Gene is faced with the responsibility of having the father on his hands just at a time when he wants to remarry and move to California. There is a series of dramatic confrontations when Alice, the sister, who has defied her father, pleas with Gene not to take on the burden of the old man and ruin his life; when the penurious father and son have to pick out a coffin for the mother; and the final episode in which Gene tries once again to rouse in himself affection for his father and succeeds, but only for a moment. For it is still not possible to "sing" for his father - to understand and be understood, to give the love he so wants to give, and to know that this will be accepted, and appreciated, with the honesty and need for its giving.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
