Description
From the creator and writer of the Emmy Award-winning series Fargo.
The Henry brothers could not be more different. Scott is stuck in a dead-end job and has taken to hanging out in some of San Francisco's seedier dives. David, on the other hand, is a successful travelling salesman, and has not one happy family, but two (one on each coast). Tensions run high as their father's death brings them together on a road-trip to New York, especially when their alcoholic mother is along for the ride and thinks nothing of revealing a long-held family secret . . .
Noah Hawley's savagely funny and ultimately uplifting novel explores what it really means to be a family.
