The Privileges
Written by Jonathan Dee

"Here is an incredibly readable, intelligent, incisive portrait of a
particular kind of American family. Jonathan Dee takes us inside the world

the family. The Privileges is told with admirable conciseness and yet with
great breadth, and the reader is swept along, watching the complications of
such desire unfold."
--Elizabeth Strout, author of Olive Kitteridge
