Das geniale Familienepos der New York Times-Bestsellerautorin Von außen gesehen ist das Leben der wohlhabenden Familie Oppenheimer aus New York City eine Erfolgsgeschichte. Doch die Ehe von Salo und Johanna ist distanziert und von einem Unglück überschattet. Auch ihre Drillinge spüren keinerlei familiäre Bindung und können es kaum erwarten, einander zu entkommen. Als Harrison, Lewyn und Sally aufs College gehen, trifft Johanna die einsame Entscheidung, ein viertes Kind zu bekommen: die letzte, vor siebzehn Jahren eingefrorene Eizelle. Welche Rolle wird diese Nachzüglerin in der zerrissenen Familie spielen? »Eine zeitgenössische Interpretation der großen Romane des 19. Jahrhunderts.« Financial Times »Korelitz zieht uns wieder in ihren Bann, mit ihrer Leichtigkeit und ihrem Witz, in einem überzeugenden Roman, der Generationen und Schicksale umspannt.« Meg Wolitzer
