Résumé
Includes
Author-Curated Discussion Questions!The
reunited Lund siblings, separated as children by Social Services, find that
family, whether held together by blood or by choice, can be both a curse and a
blessing, an obstacle and a point of connection. Set in
Vancouver during the economically turbulent year of 2008, A Brief
View from the Coastal Suite explores the Lunds' differing values
in respect to relationships, money, and environment - all markers for a
materialistic society that is becoming increasingly inhospitable. Cleo
struggles to find time for her challenging job as an architectural designer and
for the demands of her family; Mandalay, an artist and single parent, tries to
raise her twin sons uncontaminated by the materialistic values of their lawyer
father; and Cliff attempts to run a landscape company with his spoiled younger
brother, Ben, and to accommodate the ever-increasing demands of his Estonian
mail-order bride.
Karen Hofmann's brilliant sequel to her novel What is Going to Happen Next skillfully explores societal attitudes and the instability of personal and public lives in a world that values money above all else.
