One of Ann Hood's earlier book, she shows the author she will become in her realistic portrayal of the characters. You feel that she has lived all lives protrayed because she is so in touch with the emotions and longings that shape the characters and events. ( ) I fell in love with this book, after thinking I wouldn't. It starts off slow, and you think you will side with the woman who is leaving her hometown and family to try for bigger and better things that she has been deprived of. You resent her husband and children for being ungrateful and tying her down. A third of the way in, you love the husband and completely understand how the children are feeling. Halfway through, you wonder what sort of woman could leave this behind. By the end, she is thinking as you do, and the book leaves you with tears drying on your cheeks and hope in the future. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
A "sparkling" novel of love and loss from the bestselling author of Kitchen Yarns, "one of the best young writers in the world of contemporary fiction" (Booklist). Libby Harper, unsatisfied with her suburban life, abandons Massachusetts, her two teenage children, and Tom, her husband of eighteen years. Depressed and feeling trapped, she is determined to realize her fantasies of Hollywood fame before it is too late. Dana has been expecting her mother to walk out for years. Her older brother, Troy, who is always in trouble, has been struggling to get his mother's attention for most of his life. But it is Tom, their father, who is hit the hardest. Once, he and Libby were the most beautiful couple in town. Rudderless without the woman he has loved since ninth grade, he is a man drowning when Renata Handy enters their lives. Renata has left Manhattan behind to return home with her terminally ill eight-year-old daughter. She finds an unexpected haven with Tom Harper, her high-school crush--and his shattered family. A Literary Guild selection, Places to Stay the Night is a story of the dreams we leave behind . . . and the ways we can find ourselves again. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
