Every last cuckoo

At age seventy-five, Sarah thought her life was settled and assured; she and Charles would live out their days in the quiet comfort of their rural Vermont home. But now, with Charles gone, Sarah is unable to find peace. That is, until her life is turned on its head when her granddaughter Lottie comes to live with her. Soon, two displaced young friends of Lottie's who need a safe place to call home are added to household. Then comes an Israeli soldier-turned-pacifist who needs a retreat. When a young family loses its home to a fire, Sarah finds room for them also. And just when she thinks her life couldn't possibly get any more chaotic, a woman and her infant, fleeing a violent spouse, show up. Suddenly Sarah's picture perfect home has become an unruly refuge--and she loves it!

  • "Sarah Lucas imagined the rest of her days would be spent living peacefully in her rural Vermont home in the steadfast company of her husband. But now, with Charles's sudden passing, 75-year-old Sarah is left inconsolably alone. As grief settles in, Sarah's mind lingers on her past: her imperfect but devoted 50-year marriage to Charles; the years they spent raising their three very different children; and her childhood during the Great Depression, when her parents opened their home to countless relatives and neighbors. So, when a variety of wayward souls come seeking shelter in Sarah's own big, empty home, her past comes full circle. As this unruly flock forms a family of sorts, they--with Sarah--nurture and protect one another, all the while discovering their unsuspected strengths and courage. In the tradition of Jane Smiley and Sue Miller, Kate Maloy has crafted a wise and gratifying novel about a woman who gracefully accepts a surprising new role just when she though her best years were behind her."@en
