Seven Stories About Tammy

"Seven Stories About Tammy by Elizabeth McCracken, paints a portrait of a complicated family with the concision of a short story and the depth of a novel, and makes it look easy."—Celeste Ng

Morris Harkin brings his new girlfriend Tammy to meet his family. She is not who they expected and they do not like her. Across seven vignettes, we see Tammy through the eyes of the Harkin family throughout the years, and, with McCracken's witty and tender style, a picture of an insecure and unhappy family emerges.
