The Briscoe family finds itself in the center of attention of the residents of the small town of Olympus, Texas, when Peter and Yuna's adult son, March, returns to his native land. And this is two years after he had the audacity to start an affair with the wife of his older brother, Gep! It is difficult to forget about such a thing, and his parents are not too happy about his sudden appearance, especially Yuna, who has always been a favorite of Gep.

In addition to her wayward son, Yuna is also pretty fed up with her husband's numerous infidelities: she turned a blind eye to it for many years, but now she has firmly decided that she has had enough.

Surprisingly, March's return becomes the starting point for changes in the lives of all members of the Briscoe family. Someone dies, someone's marriage is falling apart, old ties that seemed strong until now are torn apart overnight. Is it possible that family ties that have kept afloat for many years have suddenly become a heavy burden that is dragging you to the bottom?

In the captivating family saga 'Olympus, Texas,' filled with subtle psychology, elements of classical mythology (just look at the names of the heroes, who seem to have descended from the Greek pantheon to settle in the American outback) cleverly coexist with elements of modern drama. Reading this book, we can't help but wonder: what's so good about this destructive force we call love?
