Nine linked stories about the writer's family and the people of the place he grew up. In the story that began the cycle, the narrator hears his half-sister, given months to live, tell of her own father and her marriage. Others recall a blind cousin who vanished after she was assaulted, a woman who has hidden all her life that her father had leprosy, and a young man with tuberculosis.
