But they soon learn that the welcome in America is far from warm. Trelawny, their youngest son, comes of age in a society which regards his racial ambiguity with suspicion, while their eldest son, Delano, becomes ever more reckless in his longing for a better future. As the brothers battle the many obstacles in their path – an unreliable father, racism, a financial crisis and Hurricane Andrew – they find themselves increasingly pitted against each other. Will their rivalry be the thing that finally tears their family apart? *LONGLISTED FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FOR FICTION*
