Well, Dicks dead. Now what? Margo, his widow, is trying to dodge the tsunami of paperwork and other tasks coming her way. She doesnt deal with details-why do you think she was married in the first place? Dick always handled the drudgery. Not terribly well, it turns out. Margos ex-husband (the first one, not the dead one) and their two adult children are trying to support Margo-who seems to be finally entering adulthood at the tender age of sixty-two. Dead Dicks ex-wife and their daughter consider Margo a maneater, so the funeral is a nightmare. Life in New Brunswick lately is a tornado of siblings, children, pets, marriages, health issues, and endless bureaucracy. And at the centre of it all is Margo, living alone for the very first time, going back to work as a drugstore cashier to make ends meet, and trying to endure everyone elses judgements about the woman she is when she barely knows herself.
