About the Book
This book animates the ordinary lives of two brothers, haunted by the freak accident that killed their father when they were children. The story follows them to New York City where one brother is a Legal Aid attorney and the other a sleek, successful corporate lawyer; both have been called back to their hometown of Shirley Falls, Maine, where the long-buried tensions that have shaped and shadowed their relationship begin to surface in unexpected ways that will change them forever. With a rare combination of brilliant storytelling, exquisite prose and remarkable insight into character, Strout has brought to life two deeply human protagonists whose struggles and triumphs will resonate with you long after you turn the final page.
