Book summaryTwo sisters approach middle age. Emmy, once confident and--as her mother noted--thick-skinned, is shattered by unexpected divorce. Virginia, sensitive and introverted, chafes against the rigid life she has made for herself. Emmy travels to Bali, Virginia to the Isle of Skye, and each sister finds herself faced with changes--changes that allow them to come to terms with their lives and dictate some of these terms themselves. Media reviews"Readers discovering these indelible characters and their lucid unease will look with impatience to Claire Messud's literary future." |
