A heartfelt debut with vibrant characters, lots of Texas swagger, and a plot that is a powder keg of marriage problems, rivalries erupting, and secrets blowing up—all with a wry nod toward classical mythology.
When March returns to East Texas two years after he was discovered having an affair with his brother's wife, the Briscoe family is once again the talk of their small community. June, his mother, scarcely greets him warmly when he returns. She is sick and weary of being the patient wife because of her husband's previous relationships. Maybe it's time for a change. Days after March arrives, someone dies, relationships collapse, and even the greatest coalitions fall apart. Ultimately, the very things that keep them all together may also be the things that bring them to an end.
Olympus, Texas is a vast masterwork that deftly combines aspects of Greek mythology into a wholly contemporary family story that is full of psychological depth and drama. We all question, at some time, what good this terrible energy we call love can do.
