Más información sobre el libro
A marriage unravels as contemporary cultural, political, and social issues become intensely personal in this sharp, witty novel. Set in September 2018, amidst nationwide protests against a Supreme Court nominee, the quiet life of Ethan Frome in Starkfield, Massachusetts, is disrupted. His wife, Zo, fueled by anger at the political climate, turns their home into a local Resistance hub. Meanwhile, Ethan grapples with financial despair as his college roommate faces #metoo allegations, and their rebellious daughter, Alex, becomes increasingly difficult. Enter Maddy Silver, a carefree millennial navigating the gig economy, who forces Ethan and Zo to reevaluate their past, future, marriage, and values. As they confront their personal turmoil, a significant cultural upheaval looms closer. Inspired by an Edith Wharton novella about a strained marriage in a small town, this story offers an intimate portrayal of a family in crisis, a vivid reflection of national discord, and a poignant exploration of how overlooked issues can fracture a family, community, and country.
