Synopsis
Garrison Keillor shows that he can take his characters out of Lake Wobegon, but he can not take Lake Wobegon out of his characters. As part of a complex scheme to have sex with her apathetic husband, Margie Krebsbach proposes a trip to romantic Rome, under the pretense of caring for the neglected gravesite of Gussy Norlander, a former Wobegon citizen who is buried there. But the more private the news, the faster it seems to travel in Lake Wobegon, and Margie is bombarded with requests from people who want to take up Gussy's cause and accompany the Krebsbachs to Italy. Margie uses her wits to whittle down the trip's participants, who discover that the old country has a magical way of rekindling memories of the good old days, proving once again that the best part of the trip is the journey home.

Industry Reviews
"Those who marginalize Keillor as merely the host of an old-style radio show mistake the messenger for the message. They misinterpret his lulling tones and assume he serves up softhearted soporifics about a gentle world in which all drama is outhouse- or icehouse-centric and life's worst disasters can be solved with a plunger or rhubarb pie. Not true: Keillor's characters have always been complex and real, they have always spun out, and they have always shown that they can be horribly lost and reeling or capable of deep-cutting cruelty."
