Family. Faith. Fraud. Fate. Fiction. —F. Never believing in magic, when Arthur Friedland is called onstage for a hypnotist’s act, his life changes: he empties his family’s bank account and leaves his three sons to fend for themselves as he goes off to write internationally lauded novels. Years later, his sons—Martin, a priest; Eric, an investment banker; and Ivan, an artist in crisis—are forced to come to terms with who they are in the world and how a fateful day—and their father’s novelistic influence—unravels their world even further.
