"Wise and cryptic...Intriguing...(Smart, apt and slightly unexpected)...Sharply insightful."-- Janet Maslin, New York Times, One of 12 Books We Recommend This Week by the NYTBR "The boldest thing about 'Mrs'-as with Big Little Lies is that it focuses on the depths of women's experiences as wives and mothers. Their clashes with one another are entertaining, sure, but they're a diversion from the more important conflict with their husbands and with male power."-- New York Times Book Review, "Brilliantly portrays the onset of a new age and its ideals.... Realistic both in its vibrancy and loneliness."-- Chicago Tribune, "I was completely captivated by the keenly observed, superbly written stories in Spoiled . Caitlin Macy's characters are educated, strong-willed, and sometimes difficult girls and women who alternate, as all of us do, between lying to themselves and facing the truth; Macy's depiction of them, set against a very contemporary backdrop of class, gender, urbanism, and ambition, is so entertaining that it's easy to overlook how well-crafted this collection is. I'm hugely impressed and plan to recommend Spoiled to all my friends."-- Curtis Sittenfeld, "Macy skewers power parents in this entertaining, sharp-eyed portrayalof privilege and it's price"-- People, "I love novels that are both rousing and intelligent, and Mrs. was just that--a riveting, complex, and potent story of money, friendships, and family. Macy masters New York's Upper East Side because she goes beyond the vanities and delves into its layers, its distinct voices and characters. She puts you in the territory of the well-heeled and shows their heart and soul." -- Kaui Hart Hemmings, author of The Descendants, "A marvel-a thrillingly intelligent, witty and tragic look at love and class in Manhattan."-- Newsweek, "A masterful portrait of marriage, ambition, betrayal, power, and secrets...complex and impossible-to-put-down... Readers will remember the three families long after the last pages." -- Booklist, "Macy [is] an ambitious and graceful writer...her eye for the sparks that fly when her honed and not so honed sensibilities rub together is nearly unerring."-- New Yorker, "Deeply moving, hugely entertaining, utterly brilliant. As an observer of human behavior Macy rivals Tom Wolfe and Edward St. Aubyn. Mrs. is a major novel, and Macy is an essential American voice." -- Lev Grossman, author of The Magicians, "Brilliant. I was dazzled by her ability to see into the very hearts of her characters; I absolutely loved it."-- Kate Atkinson, author of Life After Life and A God in Ruins, "Inside a seductive microuniverse, the super competitive lives of threevery different women intersect at the exclusive preschool their childrenattend. When one woman's husband, a U.S. attorney, launches an investigationinto the financial dealings of another's, shocking secrets threaten to disrupttheir lives in this smart skewering ofhigh society."-- Marie Claire

Synopsis
Named to Buzzfeed's list of "5 Most Anticipated Women's Fiction Reads of 2018" " Mrs. could be the next Big Little Lies ."-- EW "Macy skewers power parents in this entertaining, sharp-eyed portrayal of privilege and it's price" - People Magazine In the well-heeled milieu of New York's Upper East Side, coolly elegant Philippa Lye is the woman no one can stop talking about. Despite a shadowy past, Philippa has somehow married the scion of the last family-held investment bank in the city. And although her wealth and connections put her in the center of this world, she refuses to conform to its gossip-fueled culture. Then, into her precariously balanced life, come two women: Gwen Hogan, a childhood acquaintance who uncovers an explosive secret about Philippa's single days, and Minnie Curtis, a newcomer whose vast fortune and frank revelations about a penurious upbringing in Spanish Harlem put everyone on alert. When Gwen's husband, a heavy-drinking, obsessive prosecutor in the US Attorney's Office, stumbles over the connection between Philippa's past and the criminal investigation he is pursuing at all costs, this insulated society is forced to confront the rot at its core and the price it has paid to survive into the new millennium. Macy has written a modern-day HOUSE OF MIRTH, not for the age of railroads and steel but of hedge funds and overnight fortunes, of scorched-earth successes and abiding moral failures. A brilliant portrait of love, betrayal, fate and chance, MRS marries razor-sharp social critique and page-turning propulsion into an unforgettable tapestry of the way we live in the 21st Century., In the well-heeled milieu of New York's Upper East Side, coolly elegant Philippa Lye is the woman no one can stop talking about.

- c***r (562)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letztes JahrBestätigter KaufBook exactly as specified, rapid international delivery (USA to UK), and a reasonable price for an out-of-print book. I was also very pleased and reassured by the quality of packaging for the book. It arrived in a cardboard box, and inside, it had brown paper to pad out the box, plus brown paper around the book to further protect it. This meant the book survived international shipping in great condition. On that basis, I highly recommend this seller.Hardstyle Abs: Hit Hard. Lift Heavy. Look the Part. by in New (Nr. 127042788743)
