Book summary
Carey's powerful 1991 novel dissects the troubled Catchprice family, which includes Frieda, the dotty matriarch; her daughter Cathy who wants to be a country singer; Mort, who, trapped in the web of the family, can never leave home; and young Johnny, whose only commitment is to Hare Krishna. When Maria, from the Australian Taxation Office, comes to audit the books of the family used-car business, Carey's complex tale culminates in the birth of a baby and the unleashing of Mort's disturbed son Benny, the "Angel of Plagues."
Publisher Notes
The members of the Cathprice family--eighty-six-year-old matriarch Frieda; her daughter, Cathy; her son, Mort; and her grandson, Benny--find their way of life threatened when the tax inspector arrives for an audit.
