A unique novel of parents and children - and the spaces between them Dr. Niels Berners - a Swiss cosmetic surgeon living in NY - is attempting to recuperate from his dysfunctional son's abandonment of him. He joins several four other parents, all with absent children either in prison or in jeopardy, to go over their thoughts and seek a sense of community, comfort, and closure. Hortense Calisher artfully strings along tales of restorative healing, brilliantly tracing the darkness of the generational gap. With compassion and accuracy, she paints the bruised egos of worried parents confronting very empty nests.
