[A] much-anticipated wickedly funny and sharply observed political satire…This novel of politics and family brings readers to the fault line of American politics.” —The New York Times Book Review Beyond being good or bad the characters in this impressive book are above all things unpredictable.”—Wall Street Journal One family will remake America. Even if they fall apart trying. A.M. Homes delivers us back to ourselves in this stunning alternative history that is both terrifyingly prescient deeply tender and devastatingly funny. The Big Guy loves his family money and country. Undone by the results of the 2008 presidential election he taps a group of like-minded men to reclaim their version of the American Dream. As they build a scheme to disturb and disrupt the Big Guy also faces turbulence within his family. His wife Charlotte grieves a life not lived while his 18-year-old daughter Meghan begins to realize that her favorite subject—history—is not exactly what her father taught her. In a story that is as much about the dynamics within a family as it is about the desire for those in power to remain in power Homes presciently unpacks a dangerous rift in American identity prompting a reconsideration of the definition of truth freedom and democracy—and exploring the explosive consequences of what happens when the same words mean such different things to people living together under one roof. From the writer who is always razor sharp and furiously good” (Zadie Smith) a darkly comic political parable braided with a Bildungsroman that takes us inside the heart of a divided country.
