NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERElizabeth Strout “animates the standard by having an amazing pressure,” authored The New Yorker about the book of her Pulitzer Prize–winning Olive Kitteridge. Strout’s “magnificent gift was praised by the San Francisco Chronicle for humanizing characters.” Now the acclaimed writer returns with a sensational book as powerful and moving as any function in modern literature.   Haunted by the freak accident that killed their dad when they were kids, Jim and Bob Burgess fled from their Maine neighborhood of Shirley Drops for Nyc the moment they possibly can. Jim, a smooth, effective corporate lawyer, has belittled his big-hearted sibling their entire lives, and Frank, Jim is idolized by a Legal Aid attorney who, has often taken it in stride.
