You ever wake up and wonder how you got to a place?
Emmett and Joel are half-brothers, but they couldn't be more different: Emmett is single and working in a vast Cargo Distribution Centre in Kentucky, while Joel is a married academic and published writer. For the first time in years, the two of them are back together in the family home, just as Joel's wife, Alice, starts to yearn for a different kind of lifestyle.
An absorbing portrayal of three people's changing hopes and dreams, Fulfillment offers an unforgettable portrait of America today.
A stunning, timely novel which effortlessly blends the intimate and the wide-screen, from 'a hugely gifted writer' (Ann Patchett).
