Description
A harrowing multigenerational saga unfolds in this masterful novel about a family harboring a serial killer in their midst. Set against the backdrop of late summer 1951, Myra Larkin's encounter with a young man she believes to be Mickey Mantle sets off a chain of events that will haunt her family for half a century. As the siblings leave home and pursue their individual paths across America, each struggles to find their place in the world. Myra serves as a prison nurse while raising her son, Ronan, while her middle sisters, Lexy and Fiona, become embroiled in different worlds of class and power. Meanwhile, Alec's downward spiral into isolation is marked by ominous postcards that foretell a devastating reckoning. Through one family's pursuit of the American dream, this novel explores our consistent proximity to violence and its effects over time, revealing the devastating reality beneath the veneer of good society.
