Über diesen Titel
From the acclaimed author of Home Cooking comes a heartfelt novel about a midlife crisis and a woman tired of being taken for granted—and a reminder that family, like happiness, can take many forms.
"Sheer perfection." —Elin Hilderbrand
To the rest of the world, Polly Solo-Miller Demarest lives a charmed life. She has a beautiful home, a dashing lawyer husband, and two delightful children. But beneath this idyllic surface, the pressure of being the “perfect flower” of an illustrious family—and a stable, always-available wife, mother, and daughter—are getting to her. The spark has gone out of her marriage, and to her own surprise, she’s having an affair. What follows is at once cathartic and provoking, and both may be necessary states in order for Polly to become the kind of person she wants to be.
Kritikerstimmen
“Utterly delightful.... Sophisticated, funny, knowing,clear-eyed ... and entirely affecting.” —The Washington Post
"When I read Family Happiness, I felt like Laurie Colwin had been reading my mail: she was putting language to feelings that I had never expressed and I felt almost unhinged to be reading about them in a book. If you’ve ever been in a relationship with another person, if you’ve ever had a family, you need to read this book." —Ann Patchett
"This novel is sheer perfection. Colwin is so delicate with her characters that you love all of them equally, whether or not they are on the conventional side of morality." —Erin Hilderbrand
