The tale of the 4 Plumb siblings and how money, or lack of it, has defined their lives. The Plumb siblings were promised by their late father a sum of money that they have termed "the nest" upon the youngest turning 40 years old. Each one of the siblings has fallen upon hard times and has built the money up in their minds as their saving grace. What happens when that money is used to bail out one of the siblings from a dire situation. Making the money no longer available to the others. Chaos. Hatred. Greed. A very interesting read. Not very happy, but gives you great insight into a large dysfunctional family-no one is perfect, but sibling rivalry can be brutal. Going to be a good book club discussion.
