A novel that critics have unanimously recognized as mesmerizing, true, frightening and beautiful at the same time.
This is the story of the family of Larry Cook, the owner of a huge farm of a thousand acres, which became a bone of contention for his three daughters - Ginny, Rose and Caroline. When the youngest of the sisters refuses to give up her share of the inheritance, it is the beginning of the end: unfolds a drama that has been brewing for years in the spirit of Shakespeare's King Lear, balancing anger and despair, resentment and forgiveness, love and hate. How many skeletons are kept behind seven locks in family closets? How many conflicts, smoldering for decades, just waiting for a chance to erupt into a full-blown fire? How many sad and embarrassing secrets could one day come to light? And what will happen when the long-hidden madness of a cruel and powerful tyrant - the head of the family - finally breaks free?
