Περιγραφή για The Summer Without Men Siri Hustvedt Sceptre

FROM THE INTERNATIONALLY BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF WHAT I LOVED\'An astoundingly joyful read . . . a book that shines with intellectual curiosity and emotional integrity\' Guardian\'By turns funny, moving and erudite, playfully reminding us of a contemporary Jane Austen\' Daily MailAfter Mia Fredricksen\'s husband of thirty years asks for a pause - so he can indulge his infatuation with a young French colleague - she cracks up (briefly), rages (deeply), then decamps to her prairie childhood home.There, gradually, she is drawn into the lives of those around her: her mother\'s circle of feisty widows; the young woman next door; and the diabolical teenage girls in her poetry class. By the end of the summer without men, Mia knows what\'s worth fighting for - and on whose terms. Provocative, mordant, and fiercely intelligent, this is a gloriously vivacious tragi-comedy about women and girls, love and marriage, and the age-old war between the sexes.A rich and intelligent meditation on female identity, written in beguiling lyrical prose . . . heady and intoxicating\' Sunday TimesPRAISE FOR SIRI HUSTVEDT:\'Hustvedt is that rare artist, a writer of high intelligence, profound sensuality and a less easily definable capacity for which the only word I can find is wisdom\' Salman Rushdie\'One of our finest novelists\' Oliver Sacks\'Reading a Hustvedt novel is like consuming the best of David Lynch\' Financial Times\'Few contemporary writers are as satisfying and stimulating to read as Siri Hustvedt\' Washington Post Σελίδες: 224, Έτος Έκδοσης: 0616, Διαστάσεις: 12.8x12.8cm
