A family struggles for redemption after a funeral brings dark secrets to the surface in this novel from the Booker Prize?winning author of The Sea, The Sea. ? For the first time in years, Edmund Narraway has returned to his childhood home?for the funeral of his mother. The visit rekindles feelings of affection and nostalgia?but also triggers a resurgence of the tensions that caused him to leave in the first place. As Edmund once again becomes entangled in his family?s web of corrosive secrets, his homecoming tips a precariously balanced dynamic into sudden chaos, in this compelling story of reunion and coming apart from Iris Murdoch, ?one of the most significant novelists of her generation? (The Guardian). ?
