The novel, which critics unanimously recognized as fascinating, truthful, frightening and beautiful at the same time.
This is the story of the Larry Cook family, the owner of a huge farm, an area of a thousand acres, which has become an apple of discord for three daughters - Ginny, Rose and Caroline. When the youngest of the sisters refuses his share of the inheritance, this becomes the beginning of the end: the drama, which was brewing for years in the spirit of the Shakespearean “King Lear”, balancing between anger and despair, resentment and forgiveness, love and hatred. Castles in family cabinets? How many conflicts smoldering for decades have only expected an opportunity to erupt with a full -fledged fire? How many sad and shameful secrets can once come into the world? And what will happen when, finally, the long -hidden madness of the cruel and powerful tyrant - the head of the family breaks out?
