Produktbeschreibung

From the author of the New York Times bestseller City on Fire A Granta Best of Young American Novelist 2017 'A young author of boundless and unflagging talents' New York Times We can all agree on this much, Marnie thought: nobody saw the Hungate divorce coming. In the privacy of her own mind, she saw them as the last of a dying breed, the Great American Family. Two families - the Hungates and the Harrisons - live side by side in Long Island, New York. They lead charmed lives: good jobs in the city, weekends by the pool, cheerleading practice after school and backyard barbecues in the summer. But within these lives lie hundreds of little deceptions. Told through a mix of photographs and words, this is a dazzlingly inventive depiction of two families falling apart and coming together and the thousand different truths of the American Dream.
