Hope

‘Tragicomic, piercingly satirical and perceptive about the American dream’ Observer ‘Dark, funny and delightfully unhinged... I just loved this book’ Viv Groskop, author of One Ukrainian Summer The Greenspan family are the envy of Brookline, Massachusetts. Scott Greenspan is a successful cardiologist. His wife is a pillar of the community, his daughter works at a distinguished New York publishing house and his son is at medical school, preparing to follow in his footsteps. They are an exceptional family, living in exceptional times. But when Scott is caught faking blood test results, he sets in motion a series of scandals that threatens to shatter his family. HOPE is an excruciatingly funny account of the tumultuous year that follows, written by one of the most brilliant young American novelists at work today.
