Book Description
Henry Cornwall is a rebellious, intuitive lover of art who makes his life half a world away from his Japanese wife and son. His brother Sebastian is a disciplined, cerebral Wall Street deal-maker who finds himself in love with a headstrong young French woman. In this expansive, skillfully crafted novel, their stories intertwine and interact across continents and time-from Kyoto in 1964, to Paris, Provence and New York in the eighties-and from the international art scene, to the world of high finance.
Brothers is an exploration of the persistent power of family to confine and liberate the human spirit, the story of linked histories, inner conflicts and adult sibling rivalries, enriched by Long's elegant prose and by his sensitive, insightful rendering of its Japanese, French, and American settings.
