The O'Briens

Peter’s eagerly awaited second novel is The O’Briens. In the character of Joe O’Brien—ambitious railroad magnate and industrialist, fiercely loyal family man, brooding troubled soul—he gives us one of the most compelling and complex characters to come along in years. A brilliant follow–up to The Law of Dreams, and yet standing masterfully on its own, The O’Briens is a tragic, romantic, and ultimately hopeful epic of great heart, imagination and narrative force.
