Olympus, Texas

The Brisco family finds themselves the focus of attention in the small town of Olympus, Texas, when their adult son Peter and Yuna, March, returns to his hometown. This is two years after he had the audacity to start an affair with his older brother Gep's wife! It's hard to forget something like that, and the parents are not exactly thrilled about his sudden appearance, especially Yuna, who has always favored Gep. Besides her wayward son, Yuna is also quite tired of her husband's numerous infidelities: she has turned a blind eye to this for many years, but now she has firmly decided that enough is enough. Amazingly, March's return becomes the starting point after which the lives of all members of the Brisco family undergo changes. Someone dies, someone's marriage is on the rocks, and seemingly sturdy old ties are suddenly torn apart. Is it possible that family bonds, which helped them stay afloat for so many years, have suddenly become a heavy burden dragging them down? In the captivating family saga 'Olympus, Texas,' elements of classical mythology (just look at the names of the characters, as if they descended from the Greek pantheon to settle in the depths of America) skillfully coexist with elements of modern drama. Reading this book, we inevitably ponder: what good is there in the destructive force we call love?
