There is a heatwave across Europe. 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. Alhough 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.
With sparkling wit, compassion, and tender insight, The Homemade God explores memory, identity, grief, healing, and the bonds of siblinghood – what happens when they splinter, and what it might take to find a new way forward.
