In 'The Hazards of Good Breeding,' Jessica Shattuck unveils the cloistered world of the Dunlaps, an old-Boston family steeped in tradition and societal expectations. Caroline Dunlap, having tasted life beyond this cocoon, returns home post-college to a realm where conformity is king. Her father, Jack, is stoically weathering his life post-divorce while fixating on Rosita, their ex-housekeeper. Young Eliot busies himself with an art project that seems innocuous until its true scope is unraveled. Set over a pivotal week, the saga weaves through the viewpoints of five family members, ultimately shattering the fragile universe they inhabit. As secrets untangle and the curtain is pulled back, 'The Hazards of Good Breeding' morphs into a striking critique of heritage and a wry examination of the ties that bind—and choke—a blueblood dynasty.
