Synopsis
A sharp, intimate glimpse into a fractured family and the quiet truths they hold close.
In this novel, a household of adults and children confronts love, memory, and belonging through intimate, often slyly ironic dialogue. The scenes move between everyday routines and deeper reckonings about parenting, legitimacy, and the weight of the past on the present. The book uses a poised, observational style to unfold complex relationships. Its characters argue, reveal, and reconsider who they are to each other, often with humor and a subtle ache beneath the surface.
- Experience rich, character-driven storytelling that centers on family dynamics.
- Explore how memory and truth shape relationships across generations.
- Watch dialogue reveal power, longing, and the costs of trying to “do the right thing.”
- See a quiet, morally astute portrait of life, love, and responsibility.

Présentation de l'éditeur
Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.
