Fiction Family Life
A darkly comic novel of twenty-first-century domestic
life and the possibility of personal
transformation
Harold Silver has spent a
lifetime watching his younger brother, George, a taller,
smarter, and more successful high-flying TV executive,
acquire a covetable wife, two kids, and a beautiful home in
the suburbs of New York City. But Harry, a historian and
Nixon scholar, also knows George has a murderous temper, and
when George loses control the result is an act of violence
so shocking that both brothers are hurled into entirely new
lives in which they both must seek absolution.
Harry
finds himself suddenly playing parent to his brother’s two
adolescent children, tumbling down the rabbit hole of
Internet sex, dealing with aging parents who move through
time like travelers on a fantastic voyage. As Harry builds a
twenty-first-century family created by choice rather than
biology, we become all the more aware of the ways in which
our history, both personal and political, can become our
destiny and either compel us to repeat our errors or be the
catalyst for change.
May We Be Forgiven is an
unnerving, funny tale of unexpected intimacies and of how
one deeply fractured family might begin to put itself back
together.
