A sophisticated, multifaceted portrait of a family that endures nevertheless through its decline... An elegant and nuanced meditation on family, class, perception, illness, and death.
Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review)
Bracher crafts a layered story which brims with mystery and tension... a darkly poetic and deeply moving tragedy
Asymptote
An intricate multigenerational saga, Bracher's novel is stunning in its complexity and magisterial in its storytelling... It is a captivating story, full of the seductive pull of family secrets and colorful characters. Yet the novel becomes a masterpiece in its use of form to examine the nature of storytelling, the fallibility of memory, and the limitations of perspective
