Publisher's Summary:
Steeped in deception and immoderate passions, the Canary family consists of Gordon, head of the household and secretly gay; his wife, Doris, a compulsive liar, their daughters: promiscuous Marcia and eerily contented Sonja, and Joan, the mute, brain-damaged and musically brilliant youngest child. As the family fights, laughs and lies, Joan quietly listens, blending their discordant conversations into harmony. And just when the Canarys think they have reached an irredeemable low, Joan's experimental composition allows the family finally to hear each other out.
