The Nest by Cynithia D'Aprix Sweeny, is a novel about four grown siblings in a very dysfunctional New York family each counting on a nest egg from their deceased father. All four have their reasons for wanting the money, yet one brother gets himself in trouble and almost all the money goes to bailing him out. What ensues is a complex story of how each of the siblings tries to deal with the problem alone and through coming together as a family.
This is such a well written book that it made me care about these mostly unlikeable characters and their problems. I was completely pulled into their story, their journey and their ultimate transformation. A great read.
