Synopsis
Comparable in both theme and quality to Thomas Vinterberg's brilliant film THE CELEBRATION, Suzanne Berne's novel stages a grim psychological battle as it unfolds over a Thanksgiving dinner. Cynthia Fisk is lured back to a family reunion, hosted by her older sister, shortly after her father has suffered a debilitating stroke. Cynthia's feeling are ambivalent at best--she suspects that her father murdered her mother years ago to make way for his marriage to his daughter's young tutor, Ilse. In the pressure-cooker of the dinner party, the secrets of the past begin to boil over, with some family members trying to keep them buried and others craving for the truth to be told at last. Berne, the prestigious winner of Britain's Orange Prize, has concocted another insidious blackly marvelous gem.

Publisher's Note
Thanksgiving at the New England home of the second of three sisters marks a reunion between the three Fiske sisters--including Cynthia, the youngest, an author writing a book about Mark Twain's daughters--and their long-estranged father, in a portrait of the unraveling of a family, set against the famous nineteenth-century author's own family dysfunction.
