Talk about your dysfunctional families!

A famous father who is what holds this family together, it seems, and also holds the power to destroy all of them.

This was painful to read and there was a lot of second hand embarrassment for them all.

This story has been done before and I think this was not the best representation of that.

A darker story than he previous, but with the same powerful characters. We follow the four adult siblings returned to a childhood vacation home in Italy to retrieve the body of their father, who died shortly after a rushed wedding to a woman younger than them. We follow each of the siblings, and gradually learn their pasts and how the impact there present. Happily, we get what amounts to a good amount of future as well. It took me a bit, but I also couldn't help but route for these beautifully damaged siblings.
