"Hafner's taut and utterly delightful debut is a novel of
multitudes.... What a wonder of storytelling."-Weike Wang, New York
Times LitHub Most Anticipated GMA Summer Reads A delicious summer
read filled with humor and surprise for readers of Anne Tyler and
Kevin Wilson.When introverted Ethan Fawcett marries fun-loving
Barb, so comfortable in the world, he has every reason to believe
he will be delivered from a lifetime of solitude. She fills his
world with a sense of adventure, expanding his horizons beyond his
comfortable routine. To ease Ethan's fears of becoming a father,
Barb suggests they foster two young brothers, Tommy and Sam, and
Ethan immediately falls in love with the boys.When the pandemic
hits, he becomes obsessed with providing a perfect life for them.
But instead of bringing Barb and Ethan closer together, the boys
become a wedge in their relationship, as Ethan is unable to share
with Barb a secret that has been haunting him since childhood. Then
Ethan takes Tommy and Sam on a biking trip in Italy, and it becomes
clear just how unusual Ethan and his boys are.
