'We've lived charmed lives, all of us, because of our father. And yet we don't know how to be anything. We don't even know how to live ordinary lives. We don't have the tools. It's as if we expect greatness because our father was great. But we are not. It's no wonder Bella Mae hates us.'There is a heatwave across Europe. Goose and his three sisters gather at the family's house by Lake Orta in Piedmont, Italy. Their father, a famous artist, has recently remarried a much younger woman and decamped to Italy to finish his masterpiece; now he is dead. There is no sign of his new wife Bella Mae, no sign of his will, and no sign of a painting. Always close, all that the siblings come to understand that summer, about themselves, their father and their new stepmother will drive them apart before they can come to any kind of understanding of what their father's legacy truly is.
