This was another novel that i found remarkable because of the author's ability to write about a dysfunctional family and to respect and honor each of the family members stories without judging. This author has written several gay-themed novels, all worth reading. But this book was a particular "gay" story from the perspective of the older and straight brother. The book, much like First Person Plural, takes on in a very significant way, a homophobic elderly father who at the end of his life must reconcile his anger and hate with his dying wife. The entire family come together one weekend and a lifetime of truth telling occurs. And each character is as vibrant and multi-dimensional, the villains and the heroes alike. Fabulous read!

Karl Preston lives a comfortable life with his wife and daughter, in an affluent suburb. But preparing for a weekend visit to his elderly parents' Florida home, Karl becomes increasingly aware of the pressing concerns of their faltering lives - realising too it will be the first time in years he has seen his gay brother Sven. Frank, Karl's father, is bellicose and bewildered, Annike, his mother, is increasingly isolated, despite her fluency in three languages, and Sven, harried, loving and hopeful, finds his life restricted by his parents' needs.
