description: With dark poetry and domestic acuity, the author of Homework shows how families pull together, form themselves anew, and occasionally fly apart at the seams. Ranging from Scotland to America to Italy - and to a novel-within-a-novel - Criminals brilliantly captures the stories of complicated, sympathetic people who try to do right but turn somehow wrong.
