内容简介
"In my family we are all disposable," begins Annie, the winning but
troubled narrator of When We Get Home. She has seen her debonair
father go through three divorces and her 20oyear-old brother Walter
passionately fall for Isabelle, their father s newest wife. Annie herself
is struggling with love and fidelity in her own marriage, trying to
transcend her family tendency toward instability. When Walter gets
into severe trouble while on a camping trip in Canada, Annie is
forced to reevaluate everything-her family s legacy of turmoil and
her own sometimes offhand approach to commitment. From New
York City to the family beach house on Long Island, we follow this
idiosyncratic and captivating family.
In her first novel, Maud Carol Markson skillfully uses humor, com-
passion, and an authentic sensibility to detail warmly the often
ludicrous patterns of familial bonds, for a funny wise, wholly origi-
nal novel about the tangled web of modern relationships.
