About the Book

«Atemporal, monumental y brillante» (Star Tribune): la nueva novela de la «eterna candidata al Premio Nobel» (El Periódico de Catalunya).

John Earle McLaren, «Whitey», un hombre afable de sesenta y siete años y que durante un tiempo fue el popular alcalde de Hammond, presencia un altercado entre la policía y un joven de tez oscura al que han detenido sin motivo aparente. Tras verse moralmente obligado a intervenir, los dos agentes se ensañan con él con una fuerza tan inusitada que Whitey muere de un infarto. Este último acto heroico abre la puerta a una realidad bastante más oscura en la familia McLaren, cuyos cinco hijos afrontarán el duelo revelando sus prejuicios, rencores e inseguridades: desde el desdén racista hacia la nueva pareja de la madre hasta las estrategias sibilinas para hacerse con la mayor parte de la herencia. Bajo una fachada de respetabilidad se esconden unos cimientos podridos, que pueden hacer que la casa familiar acabe por derrumbarse.

«La escritora más sólida, ingeniosa, brillante, curiosa y creativa del momento» (Gillian Flynn) vuelve a la carga con «una de sus novelas más ambiciosas» (The Guardian) hasta el momento.
