The Nest is a novel woven around a family and the description of all the people related to the two brothers and two sisters including the family itself is captured in deep detail and is engrossing till the end. The father of the family had set up a trust and had willed that a certain amount should be handed over to the four siblings when the youngest of them attains the age of 40. However, the eldest son gets engaged in a sexual scam and the mother had to salvage her own reputation as well as that of the son by blowing away the trust money in hushing up the incident. The younger siblings were, however, waiting for the trust money to mend their own lives and debts.
The remarkable point of the well knit plot is that very fine points of human psychology have been brought up all through the book with a plethora of characters, each of who is examined in detail.
In a scale of twenty we give it a 16.5. It is a must read.
