Description
Zoë Heller's darkly comic novel explores a family pushed to its limits. When Audrey makes a devastating discovery about her husband, she is forced to re-examine everything she thought she knew about their forty-year marriage.
Their children are grappling with their own dilemmas - Rosa struggles with a new found attachment to Orthodox Judaism, Karla falls in love with an unlikely suitor at the hospital where she works, and adopted brother Lenny is back on drugs again. As they battle their own demons and each other, every member of the family must decide what - if anything - they still believe in.
Astonishingly well-observed and stunningly written, The Believers is a subtle, funny family farce that pulses with thematic and intellectual content. Zoë Heller's prose is clean, warm and smart, making this novel a profoundly satisfying read.
