The Nest

In "The Nest," debut author Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney crafts a warm and humorous tale about the Plumb family, whose adult siblings grapple with their shared inheritance amid longstanding dysfunction. When charismatic brother Leo returns from rehab after a life-altering accident threatens their trust fund, siblings Melody, Jack, and Beatrice confront not only their financial worries but also their complex relationships and unfulfilled dreams. As they navigate old grudges and new realities, the story explores the deep connections of family, the impact of money on relationships, and the personal choices that mold their lives.
