Episode 3 of 5

Nelson's half-sister Annabelle is invited to a Thanksgiving dinner. All seems to be going well until Janice's new husband Ronnie starts quizzing Annabelle about her parents.

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.
