From the author of the thought-provoking novel The Good Father.

David believes that at heart, people are inherently rotten. Scott, his brother, believes that his life is going to fall apart, and that everyone he loves will leave him. Doris, their mother, believes that she has nothing to lose by revealing a 60-year-old family secret.

This hysterically biting and ultimately redeeming novel by Noah Hawley proves them all rightand wrong while answering some of life's biggest questions. Like, how did Scott end up with two wonderful wives simultaneously? And why can't David manage to keep even one dysfunctional relationship going?

It all comes down to love and families and what you believe in and, maybe, forgiveness.
