About This Book
An aging, flamboyant painter and guardian named Kennicott O'Neill copes with the rebellious departure of his young charge Brian, whose drive for independence triggers domestic ruptures, reconciliations, and comic tantrums. The narrative shifts between the studio, country roads, and seaside retreats as romances involving Joan, disputes over a miser's will, disappearances, and artistic rivalries complicate loyalties. Episodes follow Brian's search for identity, Kenny's sentimental clinging to family ties, and a circle of friends whose interventions alternate between provocation and support. Themes of parenthood, artistic temperament, inheritance, and the tug between duty and freedom shape an episodic tale of growth and reconciliation.
