Breaking it down it's just the story of a family. Albeit one in crisis, primarily surrounding a wedding but also the aging father losing his sanity. It is more in the telling though as the author tells from each member's viewpoint, sometimes even recounting the same thing from a couple angles. The storyline of the gay son was my favourite viewpoint to read from though the fears of the father made me reflect on death, which can be healthy (better than realizing it way down the line and losing my marbles like him).
