Now a major motion picture starring George Clooney and directed by Alexander Payne

Fortunes have changed for the King family, descendants of Hawaiian royalty and one of the state’s largest landowners. Matthew King’s daughters—Scottie, a feisty ten-year-old, and Alex, a seventeen-year-old recovering drug addict—are out of control, and their charismatic, thrill-seeking mother, Joanie, lies in a coma after a boat-racing accident. She will soon be taken off life support. As Matt gathers his wife’s friends and family to say their final goodbyes, a difficult situation is made worse by the sudden discovery that there’s one person who hasn’t been told: the man with whom Joanie had been having an affair. Forced to examine what they owe not only to the living but to the dead, Matt, Scottie, and Alex take to the road to find Joanie’s lover, on a memorable journey that leads to unforeseen humor, growth, and profound revelations.

Excellent, satisfying read. Unusually for me, I saw the movie and then read the novel. What I liked about the movie, the tone, the feeling, came straight from the book - excellent prose, great characters. I gave a bunch of copies of this book as Christmas gifts this year. A worthy novel to spend a few days reading this year!

Flawed characters are interesting but when they interact in unpredictable (yet believable!) ways in the unusual social environs of Hawaii I am riveted.
