Coco Sinatra is a navigation of solitude, aging, and loss. It revels in life's daily magic-its "diamonds dipped in suntan oil"-while casting a clear eye at dysfunction. The reader stumbles into a family home being put on the rental market, a celebration of Christmas at a pub crawl. A few celebrity sightings are interspersed with the poignant confusion of Elvis and Priscilla holding hands in divorce court.

In the end, there is hope on a nostalgic train ride as "the future climbs like a ripe vine."…mehr
