Description
The bonds of a family are tested in the wake of a profound tragedy, offering a look at the darker side of contemporary society. When a powerful parent dies, each of his adult children reacts in startling and unexpected ways, while his grieving widow responds in the most surprising way of all. Joyce Carol Oates’s gripping novel examines contemporary America through the prism of this family tragedy, exploring race, psychological trauma, class warfare, grief and eventual healing, as well as presenting an intimate family story in the tradition of The Mulvaneys.
