The Brennans are an Irish Catholic family living in upper New York who own a pub in their small town. And they are pretty darn dysfunctional. Each family member has their set of flaws and secrets, and they make a lot of bad decisions. However, I found it to be a pretty compelling read. The author focuses on a different character in each chapter which gives lots of various viewpoints.
At the start of the novel, Sunday Brennan returns home after living in LA for four years. The reason for her departure is a mystery and her arrival back home stirs up lots of drama. Sunday has three brothers and a father still living at home, and they all seem to rely on her for everything from help at the pub to caring for their cognitively impaired brother.
This is the kind of book that makes you realize your own family isn't as crazy as you thought! I liked it! - June
