商品簡介
Max Proctar sits on his porch, oblivious to shadows whispering barbs to derail the masochist in wobbled flight. His wife and siblings skipped town long ago. Beloved children can't bare to watch him implode. New neighbors demand his immediate elimination, legal or otherwise. Not even his daughter's return from college evokes compromise from the man with the coveted lynchpin holdings at the core of this once sleepy Florida town. Corporate skullduggery rarely elicits a flinch from someone whose days are ranked by genuine smile count and friendly voices. The ostracized patriarch admits his best intentions might kill. Not until family members embark on similar paths to self destruction is Max spurred to react. Despite family follies that suggest the contrary, strained principles must somehow prevail.Rattle is a feisty, multi-layered family saga set in Southern Florida and Jamaica where rural farmers, corporate button-downs, international educators, art world bohemians and technology geniuses clash over property, bodies and conflicting agendas. JP Paul weaves a timely tale that examines friction between misinterpreted demographic and vocational dichotomies. Follow the Proctar family through betrayal, a corporate ruse and foreign gambits that expose the dangers of cultural naiveté. Rattle introduces a refreshing voice that reads poetic, rawly emotive and frequently restless, a rambunctious tale with ominous tangents shrouding each existential challenge. Rattle is a comedy-drama that strikes close to home.
