God asked Abraham to sacrifice his beloved son Isaac, and Abraham replied obediently, 'Here I am. ' This is the story of a fracturing family in a moment of crisis. 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. With global upheaval in the background and domestic collapse in the foreground, Jonathan Safran Foer ask us — what is the true meaning of home? Can one man ever reconcile the conflicting duties of his many roles — husband, father, son? And how much of life can a person bear?
