are you suggesting we repeat ourselves?

I've got a copy and let me spill what I remember of the first chapter:
this country preacher has a kid, well maybe not a country preacher,
but small town anyway.  A-and doesn't he lose his wife in horrible
shipboard doctor malpractice, the guy isn't even a doctor, and insists
on her burial in a Catholic cemetery somewhere in Spain?  To the
somewhat horror of his relatives, her relatives and his congregation?

So that young Wyatt is raised by the bookish dad and an aunt who is
frightfully religious, Simone Weil level, without the social outreach
though.

And the grandpa looks up from a well and can see stars but isn't believed.
