Melody, Beatrice, and Jack Plumb get together on a chilly New York City day to face their gregarious and impulsive elder brother, Leo, who has just been discharged from the rehabilitation centre. Leo's reckless activity, which resulted in a drunk driving collision involving a 19-year-old waitress next to him, has put the Plumbs' shared trust fund—dubbed "the Nest" by the family—at jeopardy. Although the four siblings are at very different stages of life, they all think that this money will help them with a lot of issues that they brought on themselves and the troubles that follow. And they had just been a few months away from getting it before to Leo's injury.
Can Leo, who has always been able to solve problems for himself, help the Plumbs get out of this mess? Or will the Plumb siblings have to make do without their planned future lifestyles and financial security? Sweeney introduces an unforgettable cast of supporting characters as the siblings deal with old grudges, family tensions, and the significant emotional and financial cost of the accident: Leo's steadfast ex-girlfriend, who is now beginning to believe that maybe, just maybe, he can change; the waitress, whose life was shattered in the accident, and the Iraqi war veteran, who falls in love with her; and a retired, grieving firefighter with a very big secret.
The Nest is a delicate, humorous, and well written book that examines the effects of money on relationships, the trajectory of our aspirations, and the fragile but enduring bonds we have with our families.
