Praise

"Jennifer Haigh illuminates the dark tangle of desire and deed that is the family, that crucible we so often yearn to flee yet keep coming back to again and again. THE CONDITION is unsentimental, compelling, and moving, and I urge you to read it!"
-Andre Dubus III, New York Times bestselling author of the National Book Award finalist House of Sand and Fog

"Poignant. . . . A strong nod to the healing power of love."
-Publishers Weekly

"The ailment at the center of this remarkable novel is the human condition itself. Jennifer Haigh has written a sprawling, emotionally gripping account of one family’s troubled history, enlivened by her formidable intelligence and deep insight into her characters’ hearts and minds."
-Tom Perrotta, New York Times bestselling author of Little Children and Election

"Filled with genuine insight and touching lyricism."
