À propos de cet audio

NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER • “A gripping and poignant ode to a messy, loving family in all its glory.” —Madeline Miller, bestselling author of Circe

In this “rich, complex family saga” (USA Today) full of long-buried family secrets, Marilyn Connolly and David Sorenson fall in love in the 1970s, blithely ignorant of all that awaits them. By 2016, they have four radically different daughters, each in a state of unrest.

Wendy, widowed young, soothes herself with booze and younger men; Violet, a litigator turned stay-at-home-mom, battles anxiety and self-doubt; Liza, a neurotic and newly tenured professor, finds herself pregnant with a baby she's not sure she wants by a man she's not sure she loves; and Grace, the dawdling youngest daughter, begins living a lie that no one in her family even suspects.

With the unexpected arrival of young Jonah Bendt—a child placed for adoption by one of the daughters fifteen years before—the Sorensons will be forced to reckon with the rich and varied tapestry of their past. As they grapple with years marred by adolescent angst, infidelity, and resentment, they also find the transcendent moments of joy that make everything else worthwhile.

Ce que les critiques en disent

Named a most anticipated book of the summer by O Magazine, People, Chicago Tribune, NY Post, InStyle, Good Housekeeping, Daily Beast, PopSugar, and LitHub

"A rich, engrossing family saga, spiked with sisterly malice...[rendered] with such skill and finely tuned interest that it feels like a quiet subversion of the traditional family saga." —The New York Times Book Review

"Ambitious and brilliantly written." —Jane Smiley, The Washington Post

Loved listening to the story of these 4 sisters and the love the parents had for one another. A wonderful read.

A beautiful and honest story

A relatable story about a family’s relationships through the years dealing with different personalities and life’s conflicts. An easy listen - narrator was excellent at voices and bringing the characters to life. I would recommend for someone who wants an easy listen - sometimes drawn out - but overall good story.

Charming tale of Life

The story was satisfying and narration excellent, but man… 20 hours of character introspection was a little tough even for me and I’m a psychotherapist!

20 hours of fun for emotional drama junkies

the first few chapters are quite engaging, but it begs down around chapter 18, not sure I have the stamina to slog through all the anger and arguments...

Tedious

I enjoyed every minute of this well crafted story about the Sorensen Family. I thought it dove into what it means to be a mother, daughter and sister with such subtlety and depth. The narrator gave each character a subtly distinct voice that was helpful and not distracting. She was lovely to listen to.

Loved this poignant tribute to motherhood!
