Sinossi
In una grande casa vittoriana sulle rive dell’Hudson, Viri e Nedra conducono un’esistenza che sfiora la perfezione: due figlie, una cerchia di amici interessanti, cene raffinate, buona musica, giornate passate a prendere il sole. Tutto, all’interno di quel microcosmo, è studiato nei minimi particolari, eppure più fragile di quanto appaia, inadeguato a reggere l’urto degli anni, della noia, delle ambizioni frustrate. Sulla superficie di un matrimonio felice si aprono crepe sottili: un’altra vita, segreta, preme per venire allo scoperto, e per ciascuno la posta in gioco è la conquista di sé.

“There are really two kinds of life. There is the one people believe you are living, and there is the other. It is the other which causes the trouble, this other we long to see.” This is the second novel in a row I’ve read that calls attention to the idea of deception. In this case, the deception is Leggi tutto
