Description
1970s rust-belt America. The era of civil rights, women's rights, and gay rights, as well as the birth of the environmental movement. Twins Jake and Wren are raised in the white-flight suburb of Laurentine, not far from the industrial metropolis named a century-and-a-half ago the Forest City. The twin's parents, Harry and Florrie, are doing their best to keep their offspring on the straight and narrow, according to ideas that today would be labeled MAGA America, before it got the name. But the two are not very good at coloring between the lines. Wren falls in love with an African-American youth named Donald, and Jake falls in love with first Romeo and then Peacoat-with traumatic results. Their story is told by the family mutt, Molly, whose outsider status offers the reader a view of human prejudice that we haven't seen in fiction before.
