In a small Michigan town, in the late 1950s, the widow Etta Klein?wealthy and Jewish?has for more than thirty years relied for aid, comfort, and companionship on her Black housekeeper Harriet Gibbs. Between âAunt Harryâ and Etta, a relationship has developed that is closer than a friendship, yet not quite a marriage. They are inseparable, at once absurdly unequal and defined by a comic codependence. Forever mourning the early death of her favorite son, Sargent, Etta has all but adopted Aunt Harry?s nephew, the precocious, gay seventeen-year-old Oliver, who has been raised by both women. Oliver is facing down his departure to college?and fending off the advances of Etta?s cook, Nella Mae?when the household is disrupted by the arrival of a self-proclaimed âwarlock,â one Maurice LeFleur, who has convinced Etta and Harry that he might be able to contact Sargent in the afterlife . . . 650 0 $a Jewish women $v Fiction. 650 0 $a African Americans $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Widows $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Michigan $v Fiction. 941 $a 1 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20240402012733.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=994ACC7EF0B811EE9EC0998A3BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
