This is a fictionalized account of the author's relationship with his brother. It is written as a document directly addressed to his brother. Their mother died giving birth to the brother. Through a series of circumstances, the brother is unofficially adopted into a much wealthier family, and grows up with all the advantages. For years, the author resented his brother, subconciously blaming him for the death of their mother, and resenting his more comfortable circumstances. This book is an show more explanation and an apology of sorts. I liked it . show less
