Después de recibir la noticia de que padece un cáncer terminal, un profesor universitario imparte una última conferencia, en la que reflexiona sobre las cosas importantes que ha aprendido en la vida y quiere transmitir a sus hijos antes de morir. Un libro que contagia la alegría de vivir y una actitud positiva ante la adversidad. "Gran parte de mi conferencia en Carnegie Mellon se centró en el lado profesional de mi vida: mis alumnos, mis colegas y mi carrera. El libro es una mirada personal a mis sueños de infancia y a todas las lecciones que he aprendido. Al escribir he descubierto que esta es una buena manera de compartir los sentimientos hacia mi mujer, mis hijos, o aquellos a los que quiero. Sabía que no podría hablar de estos temas en el escenario sin emocionarme." Randy Pausch.

Five unforgettable women. One beloved yoga studio. A million tales to tell. Yoga teacher Lee is facing a tough decision. Struggling to make ends meet at her treasured studio she's given a helping hand in the form of an invitation to participate in the biggest yoga event of the year . . . but to do so means going against everything she believes in. Masseuse Katherine is being evicted from the only home she's ever known, while actress Imani fights to make her film comeback. And as Graciela plays with fire - or rather a famous baseball player - right under the nose of her volatile boyfriend, Stephanie finds herself in a very unexpected relationship. Yoga may be all about the glamorous celebrity teachers these days, but for five women the small humble Edendale studio remains a place for true friendship - and right now that's exactly what these women need . . .

I've no history here, and no character: and what I am, is all in what I will be...

From the author of the classic A Little Life comes a bold novel that spans three centuries and explores different versions of the American experience through themes of love, family, loss, and the elusive promise of utopia. In an alternate 1893 America, New York is part of the Free States, where individuals can love freely. Here, a young heir resists an arranged marriage, drawn instead to a charming but impoverished music teacher. Fast forward to 1993 Manhattan, where a young Hawaiian man navigates life with his wealthy, older partner while concealing a troubled past and the fate of his father amid the AIDS crisis. In 2093, a world ravaged by plagues and totalitarianism sees a powerful scientist’s granddaughter grappling with her grandfather's absence and the mystery of her husband's disappearances. These interconnected narratives weave an intricate tapestry of recurring motifs: a townhouse in Greenwich Village, the cost of illness, the divide between wealth and poverty, and the complexities of race and family. Ultimately, the novel delves into the human experience, exploring fear, love, shame, and the longing for an earthly paradise, while confronting the painful reality that such a paradise may never exist. This emotionally charged work showcases the profound desire to protect loved ones and the heartache that arises when we cannot.
