Henry Molise, a fifty-year-old successful writer, returns to the
family home to help with the latest drama; his elderly parents want
to divorce. Henry's tyrannical, bricklaying father, Nick, despite
being weakened by age and alcoholism, can still strike fear into
the hearts of his sons. His mother, ill and devoutly Catholic,
still has the power both to comfort and confuse her children. Nick
has been offered some well-paid work to build a smokehouse in the
hills, and Henry, realising this might be the last chance they have
to reconcile things, agrees to lend a hand. What he doesn't
appreciate is how much this journey is going to change his view of
his father. The Brotherhood of the Grape is vintage Fante, brimming
with love, death, violence and religion. Writing with great
passion, Fante powerfully describes the damage that family can
wreak upon us all.
