What the press is saying:
“Like a more bittersweet version of Jonathan Tropper’s This Is Where I Leave You or a less chilly variation on Jonathan Franzen’s The Corrections, Henkin tenderly explores family dynamics in this novel about the ties that bind, and even lacerate.” — Publishers Weekly, starred review
“Tenderness spills from these pages — so much so that the reader misses Leo too.”— Entertainment Weekly, A– grade
About the novel: On July 4, 2005, the Frankels are coming together for a memorial one year after the youngest sibling, Leo, was killed in Iraq where he was working as a journalist. And although each member of the family—Leo’s parents, his three older sisters, and his widow, Thisbe—struggles to keep things together for their reunion in the Berkshires, Massachusetts, several bombshells hover beneath the surface, not the least of which being the crumbling marriage of Leo’s parents, Marilyn and David.
