A challenge even in the best of times, but particularly when \"family\" means an extended network of in-laws, out-laws, ex-stepfathers, and hangers-on, totaling sixteen. Is the madness of Christmas really worth it? Clara is a witty, blackly funny everywoman who will win over anyone who has ever longed to shut out the holidays with \"a giant martini . . . and some olives.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/27\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780143119814\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.60h x 5.00w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/22\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/2011 pg. 23\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2011 pg. 74\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/30\/2011\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"India Knight","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52051787317429,"sku":"9780143119814","price":18.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_a0c0b6a2-073d-4116-83fb-2cccf0884d99.jpg?v=1764047953","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/comfort-and-joy-9780143119814","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
