The funeral of Edward's mother brings him home for the first time in years. Though his return rekindles his affection for his childhood home, it also triggers a resurgence of the family tensions that caused him to leave in the first place. As Edward becomes tangled in his family's web of corrosive secrets, his homecoming tips a precariously balanced dynamic into sudden chaos. The Italian Girl is Murdoch's compelling story of a man's reunion with his estranged family, and of the tragedy that shocks them all into confronting their dark past."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
