In a leafy Massachusetts town, a rogue banker builds a monumental home. His neighbor, a retired teacher, is enraged by the house’s tastelessness and by the fact that it was built on land originally donated to the town by her family. The battle lines are drawn between old and new money. A complication: the bank may be in trouble, and the head of the Federal Reserve is the teacher’s brother.
This is a powerful book and a very timely story about our national financial situation.
