Reviews"A truly cautionary tale for anyone who worries for the welfare of a vulnerable elder, Louie on the Rocks reads like the real life that Meredith O'Brien chronicled so skillfully in her newspaper days. Narrator Louie's chapters are interwoven with those bearing the distinct voices and points of view of his gay daughter grieving her mother and trying to do the best for a surviving parent who returns only hatred, and his late wife, who watches from beyond while recounting her life and the parts she played in making both father and daughter who they've become, and might yet be." --Suzanne Strempek Shea, author of several books including Becoming Finola, "Meredith O'Brien's Louie on the Rocks has a fascinating and totally unique literary style that I absolutely loved...Very highly recommend."-- Readers' Favorite
SynopsisFor fans of Tom Perrotta, Maria Semple, and Elinor Lipman, a dark comedy about family dysfunction fueled by bitter Trump-era politics, vodka, and a reluctant daughter's guilt. Set against a backdrop of bitterly partisan Facebook feuds and a Trump flag set aflame in a driveway, Louie on the Rocks follows the disintegration of the Francis family six months after the premature death of their matriarch, Helen. In his wife's absence, retired MAGA patriarch Louie descends into an alcoholic spiral and his liberal, queer, bookseller daughter Lulu responds, in a clumsy attempt to save her father from himself, by taking him to court to seize control over his finances. Told by Louie, Lulu, and Helen--who is watching in horror from the great beyond--this is the tale of a trio with very different takes on the messy events of 2019.
