Certains sont nés sous une bonne étoile, la chance leur sourit. De prime abord on ne peut pas dire que c'est le cas de Rémi. Enfant abandonné par sa famille puis recueilli par des fermiers chez lesquels il va passer sa jeune enfance, il va être vendu à une sorte de vagabond saltimbanque, musicien des rues et montreur de chiens savants. Sous la férule de ce nouveau maître, Rémi, le "sans famille", va apprendre à endurer les rigueurs de la vie itinérante et à affronter toutes sortes d'épreuves.

At the end of the Second World War, Cyril Conroy combines luck and a single canny investment to begin an enormous real estate empire, propelling his family from poverty to enormous wealth. His first order of business is to buy the Dutch House, a lavish estate in the suburbs outside of Philadelphia. Meant as a surprise for his wife, the house sets in motion the undoing of everyone he loves. The story is told by Cyril’s son Danny, as he and his older sister, the brilliantly acerbic and self-assured Maeve, are exiled from the house where they grew up by their stepmother.
