Spanning almost 100 years, The Peacock Feast  (Sarah Crichton Books) explores the aftershocks of a single day in 1916. In this sweeping family drama, novelist Lisa Gornick ’77 brings to bear her training in her erstwhile career as a clinical psychologist to illuminate how decisions and loss echo across time and space.
