Description: In Their Ruin by Joyce Goldenstern Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description In Their Ruin opens in the colorful, parochial Chicago suburb of Cicero, beginning in the late 1940s when the remnants of the gang once led by Al Capone still existed and ethnic prejudices colored peoples opinions. Chester, the Stone familys troubled father, is a bookie as well as a mathematical savant, and his brother is a hitman. Gladys, the mother, is from South Dakota and her family is equally influential in the development of the three children—brothers— teaching them folk tales and family legends and how to hunt and fish during long summer vacations. As time passes, street gangs exert their power over the brothers activities, and Gladys worries about her sons safety as well as her husbands deteriorating mental health and the familys growing financial instability. It all becomes too much for her and ultimately the brothers are left to raise themselves in both conventional and unconventional ways. Their diverging paths and lingering psychic wounds lead to mutual estrangement, setting each brother on an individual journey to redemption. This novel does a brilliant job of presenting Chicagos working class as it was 75 years ago and as it has changed.
