Ms. Haigh has a great gift for telling interwoven family stories and doing justice to all the different perspectives they present. . . . A remarkable accomplishment. -- Janet Maslin, New York Times Book ReviewHaighs characters are layered and authentic.

Haigh is such a gifted chronicler of the human condition. -- Chris Bohjalian, Washington Post Book WorldJennifer Haigh illuminates the dark tangle of desire and deed that is the family, that crucible we so often yearn to flee yet keep coming back to again and again.

To their dismay, Frank and Paulette McKotch's daughter, Gwen, has been diagnosed with Turner's syndrome-a genetic condition that leaves her trapped forever in the body of a child, and sparks heated dispute between the couple.Twenty years later, their three children-now grown, and each struggling with secret conditions of their own-are still dealing with the fallout of Frank and Paulette's divorce. Then, suddenly, Gwen falls in love for the first time, and the family's world is again tilted on its axis.In an era when individual quirks look increasingly like symptoms and every symptom demands to be treated, the McKotches are determined to fix themselves and each other.
