More Description From the Alex Award-winning author of Leave Myself Behind: A "smoothly written . . . exploration of issues of fathers and sons, forgiveness and acceptance" (Booklist).
Tommy and Nathan Bishop are as different as two brothers can be. Carefree and careless, Tommy is the golden boy who takes men into his bed with a seductive smile and turns them out just as quickly. No one can resist him--and no one can control him.
Nathan is all about control. At thirty-one, he is bitter beyond his years. For while Tommy left home for New York City, Nathan stayed behind, teaching high school English in their provincial seaside hometown, simmering in his loneliness and reminders of their ruined family history.
Now, Tommy has returned for the summer, bringing his sexual powder keg of an entourage--and the distant echoes of his family's tumultuous past--with him. And when one of Nathan's troubled students begins visiting the house, the fuse is lit on a dangerously unstable situation.
The Brothers Bishop is a touching, tattered tapestry of familial love, hatred, and emotional wreckage from an author whose "voice is more than just honest or original; it's real" (The Plain Dealer).
