A well-written book about Alistair Langford, who grew up poor and illegitimate with a "vulgar" mom, who becomes a well-respected barrister, marries into the upper class, and turns his back on his past so thoroughly he even tells his new wife that his mother is dead. Alistair regrets all of it when he is caught in a sex scandal which threatens to destroy the false life he has worked so hard to create and then he has to confront his past. At the same time, his son Luke is dumped by his high-strung, high-maintenance, actress girlfriend and vows to do anything to get her back, making some very poor decisions along the way and having to learn to live with the repercussions of those decisions. A good morality tale that causes you to give a lot of thought to families and how we raise our children and love and obsession, lies and shame. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

HTML: Prominent lawyer Alistair Langford has worked hard to achieve his immense ambitions, but in the course of just one evening he recklessly destroys everything. The scandal threatens his marriage and exposes a secret he has hidden his entire adult life. Meanwhile, his son Luke, who has led a privileged life but also has worked hard to achieve his own success, has fallen in love with a beautiful actress. When she suddenly leaves him, he plummets into a dangerous depression. His ideals in tatters, he seeks a kind of redemption by taking in two asylum seekers from Kosovo, whose struggles contrast starkly and poignantly with his own. A deftly plotted, highly suspenseful, and astutely observed morality tale, Exposure explores the dangerous pleasure of offering charity, the effects of deceit and shame on a rigidly complacent family, and the nature of love among family and friends. .No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
