À propos de cet audio

 The author of the highly acclaimed The Fates Will Find Their Way returns with a novel about a far-flung family reunited for one weekend by their father's death.

Five minutes before her flight is set to take off, Kate Pulaski, failed screenwriter and newly failed wife with scarcely a hundred dollars to her name, learns that her estranged father has killed himself. More shocked than saddened by the news, she gives in to her siblings' request that she join them, along with her many half-siblings and most of her father's five former wives, in Atlanta, their birthplace, for a final farewell.

Written with huge heart and bracing wit, Reunion takes place over the following four days, as family secrets are revealed, personal foibles are exposed, and Kate -- an inveterate liar looking for a way to come clean-slowly begins to acknowledge the overwhelming similarities between herself and the man she never thought she'd claim as an influence, much less a father. Hannah Pittard's "engaging and vigorous" prose masterfully illuminates the problems that can divide modern families--and the ties that prove impossible to break.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"With REUNION, Hannah Pittard proves herself to be an alchemist of the highest order. In this unique story about the weirdness of family, she mixes pain and humor together to make something magical. The novel's main character, Kate, is complex and difficult and untrustworthy and, most importantly, utterly winning, one of the most convincing characters I've met in a long time. REUNION slayed me."—Kevin Wilson, author of The Family Fang
"REUNION is sharp, funny, and moving, and on every page Hannah Pittard brilliantly captures the sweet enduring chaos of sibling love."—Jim Gavin, author of Middle Men

I didn't know much going into this book as I was reading it for a reading Challenge I was participating in.
The story was very raw and real and great for women who deserve the right to not want children if they don't want them and how family will always be home no matter how messed up it all gets.
Good Read!

Better than I expected

In this coming-of-age-at-age-34 novel, three adult siblings gather in Atlanta upon the death of their estranged aged father, who has shot himself in the head. I've owned the paperback of Reunion for several years and have read it repeatedly. As a beloved book, I was reluctant to listen to someone else read it but, being familiar with the high quality of Julia Whelan's narration, I decided to give it a try. And of course she's done a great job with Hannah Pittard's beautiful novel. One of life's hardest lessons is coming to terms with your imperfect childhood, putting to rest your past grievances, and reaching an understanding of wrongs you believe your parents inflicted on you. As our lead character's marriage unravels long-distance, and her father's five ex-wives with her many half-siblings show up at his funeral with their own axes to grind, support and love come to her in the most unexpected ways. This is a must-read for anyone approaching mid-life, taking their first steps on the path to reconcile to becoming adult, and for those who've already walked it. And bonus: none of these adult children is coming to terms with any sort of past child abuse. Five stars without question!
