The Joyous Season by Patrick Dennis, Edward Everett Tanner III
5.0
Joyous Season is just a triumph I am unsure if other words can be used. While I will admit it can be dated it is a perfect satirical piece for the time period. The characters are 3-D and I found myself laughing out loud several times. After my obsession with Auntie Mame (novels, movies, musical) this book sat on a bookshelf for years.
In the novel Karrington (Kerry) and his sister Melissa (Missy) find themselves with two parents at odds one Christmas Morning. Divorce is inevitable and they find themselves shuttled to various family members homes almost immediately either stuffy old Gran, who consistently is sick or Ga-Ga who is a free spirit looking for her next husband or fling. Hilarity ensues on almost every page! Definitely 5 Stars!
