From the bestselling author of The Plot, Jean Hanff Korelitz's The Latecomer is a layered and immersive literary novel about three siblings, desperate to escape one another, and the upending of their family by the late arrival of a fourth.
A complex novel that builds slowly and deliberately, The Latecomer touches on topics of grief and guilt, generational trauma, privilege and race, traditions and religion, as well as family dynamics. It is a profound and witty family story from an accomplished author, known for the depth of her character studies, expertly woven story lines, and plot twists.
"Nimbly, Korelitz juggles the stories of each parent and child, weaving a tapestry of secrets, antipathies and private quests." -- New York Times Book Review
