Dazzling and perceptive short stories
In the dazzling novella that gives this collection its title, a fractured family gathers for an odd reunion. Six years after their divorce and forty years after their first wedding, the parents of the four Link children are remarrying and in the family's gathering their essential fragility becomes all too apparent. 'Family terroism' is the tactic that undermines them - those small acts of emotional blackmail that keep antagonisms alive. The novella caps a collection that also includes seven superb short stories - each a variation on the theme of family terroism which offers vivid evidence of Antonya Nelson's generous and rapidly maturing gift. "Her eye is unflinching...her narrative touch subtle and precise" San Francisco Chronicle
