At once a story rooted in classical mythology and a good old-fashioned family drama, Olympus, Texas by Stacey Swann is an epic story about a prodigal son's return — and the havoc he wreaks on his family. Two years after it was discovered he was having an affair with his brother's wife, March returns home, and it's a mere matter of days before the Briscoe family's lives are completely upended by marital woes and at least one dead body.
