About this ebook

《纠正》

After almost fifty years as a wife and mother, Enid Lambert is ready to have some fun. Unfortunately, her husband is losing his sanity to Parkinson's disease, and their children have long since flown the family nest to the catastrophes of their own lives. Desperate for some pleasure to look forward to, Enid has set her heart on an elusive goal: bringing her family together for one last Christmas at home

伊妮德·兰伯特，当了五十年的妻子和母亲之后，准备让自己享受一下快乐。不幸的是，她的丈夫，艾尔弗雷德罹患帕金森症，逐渐精神失常。他们的孩子也早已飞出了家庭的小巢，奔向各自生活的悲剧。
大儿子加里，银行的投资经理、居家男人，正努力说服自己和家人他没有临床抑郁症——尽管各方面证据相反；二儿子奇普，因性丑闻失去了高校的稳定工作，处于半失业状态，指望着靠手头的剧本赚钱；三女儿丹妮丝年轻美貌，逃离了惨淡的婚姻，成了纽约高级餐厅的主厨，却与一位已婚男性有染——至少她母亲如此怀疑。
尽管情势看起来无比绝望，伊妮德却意志坚定，她要纠正一切的错误，享受全家人的最后一次圣诞欢聚。
