While their relationships; which are tinged by addiction; success; and pride; deepen over the decades; the men are held together by their devotion to the brilliant; enigmatic Jude; a man scarred by an unspeakable childhood trauma. A hymn to brotherly bonds and a masterful depiction of love in the twenty-first century; Hanya Yanagihara's stunning novel is about the families we are born into; and those that we make for ourselves.
