Following the death of
her worthy liberal parents, Corlis McCrea moves back into her family's
grand Reconstruction mansion in North Carolina, willed to all three
siblings. Her timid younger brother has never left home. When her
bullying black-sheep older brother moves into "his" house as well, it's
war.
Each heir wants the house. Yet to buy the other out, two
siblings must team against one. Just as in girlhood, Corlis is torn
between allying with the decent but fearful youngest and the
iconoclastic eldest, who covets his legacy to destroy it.
A Perfectly Good Family
is a stunning examination of inheritance, literal and psychological:
what we take from our parents, what we discard, and what we are stuck
with, like it or not.
