Description
This sweeping novel chronicles the life of Eileen Tumulty, a woman who dreams of escaping her boisterous Irish immigrant upbringing for a more sophisticated life. Her marriage to the brilliant but enigmatic scientist Ed Leary seems to offer the perfect path to her aspirations, but as the years unfold, Ed's subtle shifts in ambition reveal a deeper, more troubling trajectory. As an inescapable darkness encroaches upon their family, Eileen, Ed, and their son Connell fight to preserve the life and future they once envisioned. Matthew Thomas masterfully explores the complex landscape of the American Dream, domesticity, and the enduring power of love in the face of profound challenges.
