Product Description
Synopsis
When Richard Alderman becomes a born-again Christian his family begins to fall into moral crisis. His youngest son, Robbie, embraces his father's new faith, whilst his older son, Arthur, condemns it, leading to a hostile breach in their close-knit family unit. As the Evangelical revival tightens its hold on the Midwest, the Alderman family find themselves increasingly caught up in a web of deceit and violence that reveals some disconcerting ideas of justice. Patricia Highsmith weaves a gripping tale of warped suburban self-righteousness and blind faith, and the effect it can have on even the closest family.
