A New York Times Notable Book "A rich, seductive meld of characters
real and fictive, of history and fancy." — New York Times Book
Review In this compelling family saga set during a tumultuous era in
Boston history, 1960-1984, acclaimed author James Carroll chronicles
the lives of two brothers, Nick and Terry Doyle, as they strive to
move beyond the strictures of their working-class Charlestown
neighborhood to "the city below." Though one brother is drawn to the
worlds of politics and real estate and the other to the underworld of
organized crime, their fates remain inextricably linked as each
struggles to break free of the blood tie holding him captive to the
past. As in his previous bestselling novels Mortal Friends and Family
Trade, Carroll seamlessly blends fiction and history to create a
gripping tale of family bonds and ethnic violence, vows and betrayals,
and political intrigue in the inner sanctums of both church and state.
