Jim and Bob Burgess left their hometown in Maine a long time ago. Their father's death was tragic, and neither of the brothers has survived it yet, both still living with the trauma in their souls. The first is a successful lawyer, pragmatic and cynical, the second is an unlucky lawyer, good-natured, with an unsuccessful personal life. Years later, the brothers are forced to return to their parents' house to sort out the story that another Burgess, their nephew, got into. And everything that they thought they had managed to forget, to leave in the past, comes crashing down with renewed vigor. In this novel, as in the cult "Olive Kitteridge", Elizabeth Strout penetrates to the very essence of the nature of family with its joys and sufferings, grievances and sacrifice, secrets and revelations.
