The
story is narrated by the younger of two sons of an immigrant Jewish
family who live in Boston. Levi and Boaz share a bathroom but when
his brother returns from a stint in Marine Service a relationship
that was distant when his brother, older by three years, hit high
school has now become completely withdrawn. The man who returned from
war is not the boy who enlisted.
Levi
has two best friends, Zim, the boy across the street and Pearl, a
Jewish Chinese girl adopted by a single mother—a friend, not his
girlfriend.
Essentially
this is a story about PTSD and a loving family's attempt to
understand and support a troubled young man.
