Description
A darkly comic exploration of 21st century domestic life, May We Be Forgiven delves into the lives of individuals spiralling out of control, bound together by family and history. As relationships fray and secrets are revealed, the novel exposes the strange jargons of modern language, passive aggressive institutions, and the desperate craving for intimacy that often leads to its avoidance. At the heart of this savage and inventive vision of contemporary America lies a profound exploration of personal transformation - simultaneously terrifying and inspiring. The spaces in between, where the modern family comes together to re-form itself, are revealed in all their complexity.
