The Distinguished Guest - Sue Miller

Lily Maynard is proud, chilly, difficult and has become a famous write at the age of 72. Now stricken with Parkinson's disease and staying with her architect son, Alan, Lily must cope with disturbing memories of the events that estranged her from her children and ended her marriage. For Alan, her visit raises old questions about his relationship with her, the choices he has made in his own life, and about the nature of love, disappointment and grief.
