About

This subtle and powerful novel is the story of a haunted, wealthy family whose mysteries Jerry tries to solve with his precocious imagination. Why does his father miss so many trains home from his New York office? Why does his mother hide in the bedroom behind a locked door? There's love somewhere in the house, but it will take extraordinary, perhaps tragic events to make the love strong enough to bind the family back together.

"A child grows up in a reserved, secretive, dysfunctional family that is near self-destruction. The book is breathtakingly fresh and gripping, and is informed by the recurring, improvised rhythms of jazz."
