The Burgess Boys
Elizabeth Strout
With the masterful storytelling and insight into character that won her a Pulitzer for Olive Kitteridge, Strout's new novel delves into the dynamics of the Burgess family. The two brothers left home long ago, after their father's sudden death. Both lawyers, they have very different temperaments. Tensions surface when they're called upon to help their nephew.

“You have family", Bob said. "You have a wife who hates you. Kids who are furious with you. A brother and sister who make you insane. And a nephew who used to be kind of a drip but apparently is not so much of a drip now. That's called family".”
― ELIZABETH STROUT, The Burgess Boys
