Klappentext Three brothers tear their way through childhood - smashing tomatoes all over each other, building kites from rubbish, hiding when their parents do battle, tiptoeing around the house as their mother sleeps off her graveyard shift. Paps and Ma are from Brooklyn - he's Puerto Rican, she's white. Barely out of childhood themselves, their love is a serious, dangerous thing. Life in this family is fierce and absorbing, full of chaos and heartbreak and the euphoria of belonging completely to one another. This beautiful novel reinvents the coming-of-age story in a way that is sly and incredibly powerful. A spellbinding debut novel; three brothers come of age in a poverty stricken town in upstate New York
