Viac o knihe

In her signature blend of social satire and drama, Amy Sohn offers a candid look at modern marriage through the lives of five parents in Cape Cod, Park Slope, and Greenwich Village. Each character grapples with personal and professional discontent. Rebecca Rose feels neglected by her husband and is drawn to a former flame; Marco Goldstein, left alone with two kids while his husband is away, seeks solace in anonymous encounters; Danny Gottlieb, a screenwriter on the verge of success, abandons his family to pursue opportunities in Los Angeles; Karen Bryan Shapiro, a once-pious mother, faces the fallout from her husband's infidelity and seeks a new beginning with a single dad; and Melora Leigh, a former A-list actress, aims to reclaim her stardom on Broadway. As their lives intertwine and their secrets unravel, they confront their beliefs about family and happiness. This engaging narrative is both moving and entertaining, solidifying Sohn's reputation as a keen observer of relationships and parenting in contemporary America.
