& Sons

Set on the Upper East Side, the novel captures the worlds of New York's rich, books and publishing, boarding schools, and Hollywood. AND SONS is about family, legacy, and how truth and fiction can define our lives. AND SONS captures not only a family cracking under the weight of its long-held secrets, but provides a sweeping portrait of class, fathers and sons, and the pressure of legacy. Gilbert's exhilarating prose and precise eye for the details that shape a family culminate in a taut, moving novel about ambition, love, and the choices we make when faced with our own mortality.
