| |  | | | In Brief
This family chronicle begins "in 1935 in Greece, where a boy suffers poverty and neglect. Constantine Stassos eventually immigrates to the U.S., where he marries a lovely and industrious young woman, amasses a fortune, and turns his attractive home into a living hell. No one goes unscathed, from his suffocating wife, Mary, through his self-negating eldest daughter, his acerbic gay son, and his younger daughter, Zoe, a strangely feral child. As the yearsgo by and abrupt social changes become the rack upon which families are wrenched and broken, each member of the Stassos clan struggles to achieve love and respect." (Booklist)
| | | | From The Publisher
Flesh and Blood follows the Stassos family through four generations, as it is transformed by ambition, love, violence, and accumulating history. Constantine Stassos, a Greek immigrant, marries Mary Cuccio, an Italian-American girl, and they have three children, each fated to a complex life.
| | | | Annotation
From the acclaimed author of The Home at the End of the World comes a rich and memorable sounding of contemporary life--a powerful narrative that follows a family through four generations touched by ambition, love, violence, and the transforming effects of time.
