Winner of the Women's Prize for Fiction, this novel reads like a brilliant miniseries, with the narrative intensity of Jonathan Franzen's The Corrections and the emotional punch of Siri Hustvedt's What I Loved.

Harold Silver has spent a lifetime watching his taller, smarter, and more successful younger brother George acquire a covetable wife, two kids, and a beautiful home in New York City. But Harry also knows his brother has a murderous temper.

When George loses control, the result is an act of violence so shocking that both brothers are hurled into entirely new lives in which they both must seek absolution.

Suddenly, Harry finds himself playing parent to his brother's two adolescent children, tumbling down a rabbit hole of online sex, and dealing with aging parents who move through life like travelers on a fantastic voyage.

And he is forced to confront the ways in which our histories can either compel us to repeat our mistakes or become the catalyst for change.

May We Be Forgiven is a darkly funny tale exploring how one deeply fractured family might begin to put itself back together.

An unflinching account of a catastrophic, violent, black-comic, transformative year in the history of one broken American family.

Flat-out amazing, Salman Rushdie's novel is a must-read for anyone who loves literary fiction with a dark and compelling edge.
