The Funeral Makers

The Funeral Makers

Author(s): Cathie Pelletier

Location(s): Maine

Genre(s): Fiction

Era(s): 1990s

Meet the residents of Mattagash, Maine, a dull backwater town where nothing is what it seems.

This is the story of the trials that beset the McKinnons, the first family of Mattagash, Maine, when they try to arrange a funeral for the family matriarch. At the heart of the novel are the three McKinnon sisters: Marge, the one who is dying; Pearl, the one who left town; Sicily, the one who stayed–and Sicily’s fourteen-year-old daughter, Amy Joy, a bored and sexually promiscuous adolescent whose raging hormones lead her straight into the brawny arms of one Chester Lee Gifford, Mattagash’s blackest sheep.
