The O’Briens: A Novel

Peter Behrens

Canadian author Peter Behrens has written an epic tale of a sprawling Irish family in 20th century America that starts in Quebec and ends in California.  Along the way family ambition, betrayal, madness and violence are all examined by beautiful prose and great insight.  Publishers Weekly called The O’Briens a work of ‘rough beauty.’
