Including a young woman living next door, who has wings which grow back after every attempt to cut them off. Now Alan's secrets are coming back to haunt him. His father is a mountain, his mother a washing machine, and among his brothers are a set of Russian nesting dolls. Two of his brothers have returned, with the news that another sibling killed years ago, may have returned...bent on revenge.
