About this item
A searing, exquisitely crafted exploration of love and loss, the struggles and limitations of family life - and how we all must learn to live together and apart - from the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Hours. April 5, 2019: In a cozy brownstone in Brooklyn, the veneer of domestic bliss is beginning to crack. Dan and Isabel, husband and wife, are slowly drifting apart - and both, it seems, are a little bit in love with Isabel's younger brother, Robbie. Robbie, wayward soul of the family, who still lives in the attic loft; Robbie, who, trying to get over his most recent boyfriend, is living vicariously through a glamorous avatar online; Robbie, who now has to move out of the house - and whose departure threatens to break the family apart. And then there is Nathan, age ten, taking his first uncertain steps toward independence, while his sister Violet, five, does her best not to notice the growing rift between her parents.
