A skilled author has written a story of widowhood which had moments of interest for me, but I was not wholly engaged perhaps too much pondering, or maybe the POV shifting with each chapter lost my interest. Much skimming on my part. Or is it the times? The pandemic, the change in administration. The other novel I read (also [b:Homeland Elegies|50358133|Homeland Elegies|Ayad Akhtar|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1584627596l/50358133._SY75_.jpg|73536602]) was like this where I could not completely get into the story and was anxious to finish so I could try something else. ( ) I'm so sorry I have reached the end of this absolutely fascinating story about the intertwining of so many lives and so beautifully told my Miller. No WONDER it took her six years to produce....there is so much emotional depth in every page---I didn't want to miss a word. I was amazed that Miller was able to make me feel as though she could understand each and every character in the story and how their FELT about what was happening. Very impressive writing. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

HTML: "A sensual and perceptive novel. . . . With humor and humanity, Miller resists the simple scorned-wife story and instead crafts a revelatory tale of the complexitiesâ??and the absurditiesâ??of love, infidelity, and grief." â??O, the Oprah Magazine A brilliantly insightful novel, engrossing and haunting, about marriage, love, family, happiness and sorrow, from New York Times bestselling author Sue Miller. Graham and Annie have been married for nearly thirty years. Their seemingly effortless devotion has long been the envy of their circle of friends and acquaintances. By all appearances, they are a golden couple. Graham is a bookseller, a big, gregarious man with large appetitesâ??curious, eager to please, a lover of life, and the convivial host of frequent, lively parties at his and Annie's comfortable house in Cambridge. Annie, more reserved and introspective, is a photographer. She is about to have her first gallery show after a six-year lull and is worried that the best years of her career may be behind her. They have two adult children; Lucas, Graham's son with his first wife, Frieda, works in New York. Annie and Graham's daughter, Sarah, lives in San Francisco. Though Frieda is an integral part of this far-flung, loving family, Annie feels confident in the knowledge that she is Graham's last and greatest love. When Graham suddenly diesâ??this man whose enormous presence has seemed to dominate their lives togetherâ??Annie is lost. What is the point of going on, she wonders, without him? Then, while she is still mourning Graham intensely, she discovers a ruinous secret, one that will spiral her into darkness and force her to question whether she ever truly knew the man w Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
