The Ninety-Ninth Reunion

Leesfragment
€4,62

The Ninety-Ninth Reunion is a sometimes nostalgic, sometimes macabre, venture into the world of class reunions. Two sisters, one a dyslexic psychic from Wisconsin and the other a purveyor of New South corporate etiquette, tackle a class reunion in the small Iowa town of their youth. In doing so they inadvertently open a hidden wellspring of better-forgotten events. The sweet reunion of two people with long-ago yearnings taps into a vein of hidden evil that had been, until now, dying a natural death. Country tradition contrasts with the dictates of the future. As different as old fashioned windmills viewed past acres of modern wind machines, the characters of The Ninety-Ninth Reunion play their roles against the background of a state that is, by turn, the first playground of would-be presidents and the last bastion of pioneer ethics.
