Jim, a successful corporate lawyer, has belittled his bighearted brother their whole lives, and Bob, a Legal Aid attorney who idolizes Jim, has always taken it in stride.\n\nBut their long-standing dynamic is upended when their sister, Susan—the Burgess sibling who stayed behind—urgently calls them home, where the long-buried tensions that have shaped and shadowed the brothers’ relationship begin to surface in unexpected ways that will change them forever.\n\nThis edition includes an original essay by Elizabeth Strout about the origins of The Burgess Boys.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0812979516\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: HBSV.0812979516.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Strout, Elizabeth\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book is in very good condition and has little to no writing, underlining, and or highlighting.
