Monkeys

Monkeys is the remarkable story of a decade in the life of the Vincents, a colorful Irish Catholic family from the Boston suburbs. On the surface, they seem happy with their vivacious mother Rosie at the helm. But underneath, the Vincents struggle to maintain the appearance of wealth and stability while dealing with the effects of their father's alcoholism. When a sudden accident strikes, their love for one another is tested like never before.

Written by the bestselling author of Evening, Monkeys is a powerful story of one family's struggle to overcome life-changing tribulations and Minot's wrenching ode to the ties that bind even the most wounded of families.
