Description
New York, NY: Liveright (September 11, 2018)
First Edition.
As new in dust jacket.
Evoking the sharp insight of
Little Fires Everywhere
and the sweep of
NW
, an incisive portrait of the bliss and torment of domestic love.
Hailed as “one of the most thrilling writers at work today” (Huffington Post), Diana Evans reaches new heights with her searing depiction of two couples struggling through a year of marital crisis.
In a crooked house in South London, Melissa feels increasingly that she’s defined solely by motherhood, while Michael mourns the former thrill of their romance. In the suburbs, Stephanie’s aspirations for bliss on the commuter belt, coupled with her white middle-class upbringing, compound Damian’s itch for a bigger life catalyzed by the death of his activist father. Longtime friends from the years when passion seemed permanent, the couples have stayed in touch, gathering for births and anniversaries, bonding over discussions of politics, race, and art.
But as bonds fray, the lines once clearly marked by wedding bands aren’t so simply defined.
Ordinary People
is a moving examination of identity and parenthood, sex and grief, and the fragile architecture of love.
