Episode 2 of 5
Nelson, Harry's son, finally meets the half-sister he didn't know about. They share memories of Harry, now dead ten years, and are surprised to find how much they have in common.
Written ten years after his Pulitzer Prize-winning tetralogy about Harry "Rabbit" Angstrom, John Updike revisits the family a decade on from Harry's death to contemplate how the family has got on without him.
Rabbit's son Nelson has recovered from his drug habit but separated from his wife. Janice, his widow, has remarried. But into their lives steps Annabelle, Harry's illegitimate daughter. And echoes of the past begin to cascade into the present.
