The Burgess Boys by Elizabeth Strout

The Burgess boys know the law: Jim is a famous corporate lawyer, Bob a more low-key legal aid attorney. But when their nephew is charged with a hate crime in their small hometown, the brothers discover they have a lot to learn — about themselves and their family, not to mention racism, adultery and unlawful acts.

The Burgess Boys, Elizabeth Strout, $31. Available at Indigo.ca and Amazon.ca.
