The Briscoe family is thrust into the spotlight in the small town of Olympus, Texas, when Peter and Yuna's adult son, March, returns to their hometown. And that's two years after he had the nerve to have an affair with his older brother Hep's wife! It's hard to forget, and his parents aren't too happy about his sudden arrival, especially Yuna, who has always been Hep's favorite. In addition to her son, Yuna was also fed up with her husband's numerous infidelities: she had turned a blind eye to them for years, but now she had decided that she had had enough. Surprisingly, March's return becomes the starting point, after which the lives of all members of the Briscoe family change. Someone dies, someone's marriage cracks at the seams, overnight tears seemingly strong old ties. Is it possible that the ties of kinship, for many years helped to stay afloat, suddenly became a heavy burden that pulls to the bottom? In the fascinating, filled with subtle psychology family saga "Olympus, Texas" elements of classical mythology (what are just the names of the heroes, as if descended from the Greek pantheon to settle in the American countryside) cleverly juxtaposed with elements of modern drama. Reading this book, we can't help but wonder: what good is the destructive force we call love?
