註釋
This “compelling” novel of a family in crisis offers a “realistic portrayal of trauma and its aftermath” (
The Washington Post
)
.
Stay-at-home dad Logan Pyle is holding his life together by a thread. His larger-than-life father, Gus, has just died; his wife is distant; and his kindergarten-age son has regressed to drinking from a baby bottle and sucking his thumb.
Complicating matters further is Bennie, his father’s beautiful young widow—with whom Logan has a troubled past. When the thread finally snaps, Logan’s actions threaten to tear the family he treasures apart.
From the author of
The News from the End of the World
, this “introspective and honest” novel that follows one man’s journey from child to parent is “sometimes funny, sometimes heartbreaking, but always a worthy, exciting read” (Siobhan Fallon, author of
You Know When the Men Are Gone
).
