As the week unfolds, the fragile balance of their parents' marriage and the siblings' lives is shattered, leaving a trail of damage that continues to haunt years later. This powerful and nuanced novel explores the complex web of relationships within a family, tracing their lives through Sicily, London and the old mining towns of Appalachia.
