The Nest: A Novel by Cynthia D’Aprix Sweeney
Over 8,900 5-Star Reviews!
A warm, funny, and sharply perceptive debut about four adult siblings, a squandered inheritance, and the dreams it once promised.
The Plumb family is spectacularly dysfunctional—even by family drama standards. When their charismatic and reckless brother Leo is released from rehab after a disastrous accident, his siblings—Melody, Beatrice, and Jack—confront him in hopes of salvaging what’s left of their joint trust fund, “The Nest.” Meant to be a modest inheritance, the fund’s value has soared with the market, and each sibling has already mentally spent their share.
Melody, a suburban mother, is drowning in mortgage debt and looming college costs for her twins. Jack is hiding a risky loan on the beach house he shares with his husband. Beatrice, once a literary rising star, is stuck with writer’s block and a stalled career. And Leo? He may be their undoing—or their unlikely salvation.
As the four are drawn together by crisis, they must finally reckon with their past choices, their present entanglements, and each other.
At once tender and biting, Cynthia D’Aprix Sweeney’s debut is a story of family ties, failed expectations, and the complicated way money shapes our lives—and our love.
