“Average”

The story is centered around the Pilaster family. Edward Pilaster and his friend Micky are at school. Hugh Pilaster, cousin of Edward also studies there. A death occurs at the school which changes the relation between all of them. Hugh’s father who is considered the black goat of the family dies and he becomes bankrupt. Hugh stops studies and goes to work at Pilaster bank. Miranda, mother of Edward, is the driving force of the complete Pilaster family. She is enchanting and wicked which makes her such a dangerous character. She denies Hugh promotion despite him being very hard working and worthy. The story is very touching and complex and highly emotional.

P.S. Reader discretion recommended.
