A monumental new novel about modern family lives from the best-selling author of Everything Is Illuminated and Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close.

Over the course of three weeks in...
present-day Washington, DC, three sons watch their parents' marriage falter and their family home fall apart. Meanwhile, a larger catastrophe is engulfing another part of the world: a massive earthquake devastates the Middle East, sparking a pan-Arab invasion of Israel.
