Táto séria sa ponára do zložitých vzťahov medzi matkami a dcérami, plná emócií a humoru. Sleduje ich na cestách za snami a ambíciami, často v napätí, ale vždy spojené láskou. Hlboko skúma neustálu túžbu po zmene a cenu, ktorú za ňu platíme. Ide o silné zobrazenie rodinných pút a ľudskej snahy nájsť svoje miesto.
Published originally in 1987, Mona Simpson's first novel is now available in paperback. It tells the story of a mother and daughter who make their way west from Wisconsin, living off an ex-husband's credit card.
In her highly acclaimed first novel, Anywhere But Here , Simpson created one of the most astute yet vulnerable heroines in contemporary fiction. Now Mayan Atassi--once Mayan Stevenson--returns in an immensely powerful novel about love and lovelessness, fathers and fatherlessness, and the loyalties that shape us even when they threaten to destroy us. Now a woman of twenty-eight and finally on her own in medical school, Mayan becomes obsessed with the father she never knew, leading her to hire detectives to dredge up the past, thus eroding her savings, ruining her career, and flirting with madness in a search spanning two continents.
