Produktbeschreibung
LONGLISTED FOR THE GUARDIAN FIRST BOOK AWARD´A long gorgeous epic, full of love and life and caring ... one of the best novels you´ll read this year´ New York Times´It´s all here: how we live, how we love, how we die, how we carry on ... It´s humbling and heartening to read a book this good´ Joshua FerrisThe product of a stormy upbringing in an Irish Catholic enclave of New York City, Eileen craves stability. Coming of age in the early Sixties, she meets and marries a young scientist named Edmund Leary.But while Eileen wants more for her family, Ed won´t give up teaching for a better-paid job. Inadvertently Eileen starts to climb her own career ladder in nursing. She pushes Ed into finding a new home, but it becomes clear that his resistance is part of a deeply troubling psychological shift.In this masterful debut, Matthew Thomas paints a sprawling, profoundly sympathetic portrait of a family coping with slow-burning tragedy. ´We Are Not Ourselves´ is a grand testament to our deepest hopes and most human frailties.
