Product Description In six days, Silas Mudd will turn 100 years old. He is alarmingly healthy and tough as old boots, more than can be said of his son Will. "Not sure hell make old bones," Silas confides loudly to Coral, his daughter-in-law. But there is no doubt that Silass son and his two daughters will be at the party. Best outfits and good form are what they think Silas wants served up, and they dare not disappoint him. This is not a family that reveals disturbing thoughts or truths. But Silas is the only one left who knows exactly what is shoring up his family. So he sits, waiting and thinking, wondering what would happen if he were to tell. About the Author Nina Bawden is the author of more than 40 novels, including Circles of Deceit, which was shortlisted for the Booker Prize. In 2004 she received the PEN Award for a Lifetimes Service to Literature.
