Goose and his three sisters gather at the family's house by Lake Orta in Piedmont Italy. Their father a famous artist has recently remarried a much younger woman and decamped to Italy to finish his masterpiece. Now he is dead and there is no sign of a painting. Although the siblings have always been close as they search for answers over that summer the things they learn - about themselves their father and their new stepmother - will drive them apart before they can come to any kind of understanding of what their father's legacy truly is. Extraordinarily compelling at heart this is a novel about sibling relationships and those hairline cracks that can appear within a family: what what happens when they splinter and what it would take to mend them.
