Lydia is the favourite child of Marilyn and James Lee; a girl who
inherited her mother's bright blue eyes and her father's jet-black
hair. When Lydia's body is found in the local lake, James is
consumed by guilt, and Marilyn, devastated and vengeful, is
determined to hold someone accountable. But it's the youngest in
the family - Hannah - who may be the only one who knows what really
happened.
In "Family Life," Russell Banks first novel, he transforms the
dramas of domesticity into the story of a royal family in a
mythical contemporary kingdom. Life inside this kingdom includes
the king (dubbed the Hearty or the Bluff ), who squeals angrily as
is his wont; the queen, who, while pondering the mirror in her
chambers, decides to write a book; and three adolescent princes who
are, respectively, a superb wrestler, a fanatical sports car
driver, and a sullen drunk.
Then there are the mysterious Green Man with a thing for
princes; the Loon, who lives in a tree house designed by
Christopher Wren; and a whole slew of murders, mayhem, coups,
debauches, world tours, and love and loss and laughter.
