The Mistress’s Daughter<br />

May We Be Forgiven<br />

A Novel<br />

A. M. Homes<br />

In this vivid, transfixing new novel, A. M. Homes presents a<br />

darkly comic look at twenty-first-century domestic life and the<br />

possibility of personal transformation. Harold Silver has spent a<br />

lifetime watching his more successful younger brother, George,<br />

acquire a covetable wife, two kids, and a beautiful home in the<br />

suburbs of New York City. When George’s murderous temper<br />

results in a shocking act of violence, both men are hurled into<br />

entirely new lives. May We Be Forgiven digs deeply into the near<br />

biblical intensity of fraternal relationships, our need to make<br />

sense of things, and our craving for connection. It is an unnerving<br />

tale of unexpected intimacies and of how one deeply fractured<br />

family might begin to put itself back together.<br />
