Beskrivning
Trophy House is an extraordinary and complex novel, at one level a romantic thriller, at another a deeply satisfying story about the disintegration of a marriage and the consequences for all concerned.
It begins with the construction of a totally inappropriate and enormous house—a "trophy house"—which unexpectedly comes to threaten the tranquility of what appears to be one woman''s perfect life and marriage.
Dannie Faber has lots of reasons to feel blessed. A children''s book illustrator, she shares a loving marriage with Tom, an M.I.T. professor, with whom she divides her time between one of Boston''s finest suburbs and a beloved beach house in Truro, on Cape Cod.
And then, for reasons she could not possibly have foreseen, Dannie''s life begins to unravel.
With Trophy House, Anne Bernays—author of Professor Romeo and Growing Up Rich—delivers a poignant, funny, and ultimately wrenching story of adults in peril and the unlikely hope for romance that, in the end, becomes the key to surviving events that are beyond their control.
