Description
Luther and Nora Krank have calculated the cost of Christmas—and decided they would rather take a Caribbean cruise. With their daughter away, they plan to dispense with the tree, presents, parties, and decorations. Their neighbors have other ideas.
John Grisham turns the pressures of holiday tradition into a comedy of escalating misunderstandings, stubborn decisions, and last-minute chaos. Beneath the humor is an affectionate look at family, generosity, and the community ties that can be both exasperating and essential.
This first printing features a wintry illustrated jacket depicting a brightly decorated neighborhood surrounding one conspicuously dark house. A cheerful seasonal read with the presentation to make a thoughtful holiday gift.
