Set against the backdrop of America's charged political arena, 'The Unfolding' is an incisive satire penned by A.M. Homes. It sketches the life of the Big Guy, a man passionate about his family, wealth, and preserving his vision of the nation. His world begins to quake following the 2008 presidential election, sparking a fervent quest among him and his cohort to rectify the course of their American Dream. While orchestrating a revolt against the tide, the Big Guy grapples with familial turmoil. Charlotte, his wife, confronts the ghosts of a life stifled by assumptions, while their daughter Meghan wrestles with historical truths far removed from her father's renditions. A.M. Homes masterfully weaves together a poignant narrative that digs deep into the fissures of American identity, scrutinizing the consequences when familial and national discord converge.
