An architect turned crooked real estate developer, Abbie claims to be chasing after an unexpected heavenly visionâone that inevitably embroils the Mayer family within the political and familial machinations of Fayette County, Pennsylvania. Bacharach explores the perpetually fraught themes of love, family, God, and real estate in an irreverent and unnervingly tender tale that Edan Lepucki celebrates as "simultaneously funny and tragic, sacred and profaneâ¦wise and clever from the first page to the last." - WW Norton
