Пра гэту электронную кнігу
The acclaimed author delivers an “affecting and nuanced examination of family alliances tested by infidelity, illness and the pervasive impact of WWII” (Publishers Weekly).
Set at a remote beachfront cottage in the Hamptons one summer during the Second World War, A World Away follows the fortunes of the Langer family, whose oldest son, Rennie, is missing in action in the Pacific theater. But there is another battle raging at home, as Anne and James Langer’s marriage begins to unravel.
After her husband’s affair with a student, Anne begins a clandestine romance with a soldier stationed at a nearby base. Yet all the passion and tenderness Anne finds with her lover is unable to ease the ache of her family being torn apart.
Thousands of miles away, Rennie is wounded in the effort to drive the Japanese from the island of Attu, as his young wife gives birth alone in San Diego. When Rennie comes home, James and Anne must repair their own broken lives if they’re going to help their son heal. A World Away is a rich, romantic story that has all the depth and generosity of spirit that have become Stewart O’Nan’s signature.
