Ilustration As Books The Nest

A warm, funny and acutely perceptive debut novel about four adult siblings and the fate of the shared inheritance that has shaped their choices and their lives.

Every family has its problems. But even among the most troubled, the Plumb family stands out as spectacularly dysfunctional. Years of simmering tensions finally reach a breaking point on an unseasonably cold afternoon in New York City as Melody, Beatrice, and Jack Plumb gather to confront their charismatic and reckless older brother, Leo, freshly released from rehab. Months earlier, an inebriated Leo got behind the wheel of a car with a nineteen-year-old waitress as his passenger. The ensuing accident has endangered the Plumbs joint trust fund, “The Nest,” which they are months away from finally receiving. Meant by their deceased father to be a modest mid-life supplement, the Plumb siblings have watched The Nest’s value soar along with the stock market and have been counting on the money to solve a number of self-inflicted problems.

Melody, a wife and mother in an upscale suburb, has an unwieldy mortgage and looming college tuition for her twin teenage daughters. Jack, an antiques dealer, has secretly borrowed against the beach cottage he shares with his husband, Walker, to keep his store open. And Bea, a once-promising short-story writer, just can’t seem to finish her overdue novel. Can Leo rescue his siblings and, by extension, the people they love? Or will everyone need to reimagine the future they’ve envisioned? Brought together as never before, Leo, Melody, Jack, and Beatrice must grapple with old resentments, present-day truths, and the significant emotional and financial toll of the accident, as well as finally acknowledge the choices they have made in their own lives.

This is a story about the power of family, the possibilities of friendship, the ways we depend upon one another and the ways we let one another down. In this tender, entertaining, and deftly written debut, Sweeney brings a remarkable cast of characters to life to illuminate what money does to relationships, what happens to our ambitions over the course of time, and the fraught yet unbreakable ties we share with those we love.

Appraise Of Books The Nest

Dont count your chickens before they hatchIf only someone had said this to the Plumb siblings in Cynthia dAprix Sweeneys entertaining first novel, The Nest, the characters would have been spared a lot of anxiety and humiliation.But then again, if they had heeded this advice, this highly readable book wouldnt have been so gripping or cathartic.The Nest refers to the modest nest egg provided by the patriarch of the Plumb family, to be dispersed to the children when the youngest, Melody, turns 40.

I think the Nest 'egg' was more of a goose egg. A dysfunctional family relying on an inheritance that has been depleted by a brother who was in an accident. The dynamics of siblings, greed, entitlement and downright spoiled adult kids.The writing flowed well but the story consisted of too much whining, selfish, and shallow characters. It actually started to get better at page 300 but by that point I was ticked off having invested 5 days with these unlikeable characters. I did not feel any



2.5 Stars.I had my ups and downs with THE NEST. While the writing is fine and the prologue gets the reader off to a hell of a start, this story about a dysfunctional family and their individual personal reasons to procure funds from a promised trust turned out to be a slow and tedious read that just kind of fell flat (for me) all the way to the non-eventful end.During the first half of the novel, we are slowly introduced to family members (and other players) that (for me) was almost like reading

The four adult Plumb siblings have spent their whole lives waiting to receive the money from a trust fund, which will hit the day the youngest of them turns 40. Smart investing has caused the fund to balloon past their expectations and theyve each, in their own way, remained in a bit of arrested development while waiting for their money. Then Leo, the oldest brother, crashes his car while receiving a handy from a 19-year-old cocktail waitress and the Plumb matriarch uses 80% of the Nest to sweep

I'm about 15% through this audio and I just can't. I've already backed up a few times because just as soon as I get used to one character, yet another is introduced. Perhaps if I cared about the ones I already met I would continue, but I do not. DNF, no review, no rating-just my thoughts.

The Nest by Cynthia DAprix Sweeny is a 2016 Ecco publication. I became interested in this book when so many of my GR friends began posting reviews for it. So, although it didnt sound like a book I would typically go out of my way to read, I decided to check it out of the library.In the beginning, I was unsure about the story, watching in shock and horror as the four Plumb siblings proceed to jockey for position, and work every angle imaginable to make sure they received their share of the The
