"After These Things is an account of the relationship between Abraham's tragic son Isaac and Isaac's son Jacob. The book follows the psychological trail of the children of Abraham, the first properly constituted family, and finds that, like all families, their story is one of wishes and fears. In Isaac and Jacob's relationship we see all the complexities of love, power and desire that make them quintessentially human."--BOOK JACKET.
