In 'The Burgess Brothers', Elizabeth Strout introduces us to Jim, a successful lawyer; Bob, tormented by loss and failure; and Susan, Bob's twin sister, harsh and lonely, who still lives in Shirley Falls, Maine. A scandalous incident shakes their lives when Zach, Susan's teenage son, is accused of throwing a frozen pig's head at a mosque, triggering a judicial storm in a society divided between condescension and fear of newcomers. Through gestures and actions, the Burgess brothers are forced to confront their past, while the reader explores the depths of their souls and the complexity of a constantly changing society. Strout weaves motives, relationships, and problems with mastery, establishing herself as one of the great storytellers of our time.
