"A Question of Family asks what it means to be a mother, father, brother, and sister as the novel's central household and its members grow and reinvent themselves, for better or worse, to find connection. Asks us to define the shape of family, whether it's through blood or a quilt of friendships, of outsiders, a patched-together wholeness. Through a mosaic ofstyles, François Beraud's funny and heartfelt prose shows how we lean and depend on each other to survive." - Will Musgrove, author of Asphalt Dreaming
From François Bereaud, the acclaimed writer of San Diego Stories, comes a novel told in stories that span eras. Meet Walter, Claire, Grace, and Michael, a family in some state of dissolution. This is a story of family, of heartbreak and grace. You'll meet a wife who loses her family, a husband who loses time, their son lost in plays, and their daughter who has lost herself completely, as well as other people whose presence and absence shape who the members of this family are and will become. A Question of Family examines what it means to be alive together.
François Bereaud is a husband, dad, full-time math professor, mentor in the San Diego Congolese refugee community, and mediocre hockey player.
