Description

The George Millses have been a fixture in history for over a thousand years. Despite their efforts to improve their circumstances, each generation has found itself stuck in a cycle of hard work and limited social mobility. From humble beginnings as horse talkers in salt mines to serving as furniture movers in modern times, the George Millses have always struggled to break free from their predetermined roles. The latest in this long line of George Millses is determined to change his family's fortunes. Obsessed with uncovering the truth about his ancestors' past, he sets out to forge a new path and shatter the curse that has haunted his kind for so long. This ambitious and digressive account offers a unique perspective on the human experience, exploring themes of identity, class, and the search for meaning in a world that often seems determined to hold people back.
