We Were the Mulvaneys

In this deeply evocative novel by Joyce Carol Oates, Judd Mulvaney, the youngest of four siblings on a picturesque upstate New York farm, reflects on his childhood and the intricate dynamics of his once-harmonious family. Now at 30, he unravels the secrets that ultimately tore the fabric of their seemingly perfect lives apart. With themes reminiscent of Jane Smiley and Anne Tyler, the narrative explores both tragedy and resilience, brought to life through Scott Shina's compelling narration.
