The Brotherhood of the Grape (Revised)

<p>Henry Molise a 50 year old successful writer returns to the family home to help with the latest drama; his aging parents want to divorce. Henry's tyrannical brick laying father Nick though weak and alcoholic can still strike fear into the hearts of his sons. His mother though ill and devout to her Catholicism still has the power to comfort and confuse her children. This is typical of Fante's novels it's autobiographical and brimming with love death violence and religion. Writing with great passion Fante powerfully hits home the damage family can wreck upon us all. </p>
