      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

      The Oppenheimer triplets have been reared with every advantage: wealth, education, and the determined attention of at least one of their parents. But they have been desperate to escape each other ever since they were born. Now, on the verge of their departure for college and so close to their long-coveted freedom, the triplets are forced to contend with an unexpected complication: a fourth Oppenheimer sibling has just been born. What has possessed their parents to make such an unfathomable decision? The triplets can't begin to imagine the power this little latecomer is about to exert--or just how destructive she'll be to their plans...

      Grace Reinhart heeft het leven waar ze altijd al van droomde: een fantastische man, een lieve zoon en een succesvolle praktijk voor psychotherapie. Sinds kort is ze ook de auteur van een populair boek, Je had het kunnen weten, waarin ze vrouwen aanspoort beter te luisteren naar hun instinct als dat ze vertelt dat er iets niet klopt aan de man die ze liefhebben. Grace’ ‘Praktijk voor therapie’-droom verandert in een nachtmerrie als haar man spoorloos verdwijnt en de politie steeds meer afschuwelijke ontdekkingen over hem doet. Grace doorstaat de mediastorm en moet tot haar schande toegeven dat ze haar eigen advies voor andere vrouwen beter aan zichzelf had kunnen geven. Haar oude leven lijkt voorbij. Kan ze een nieuw leven opbouwen voor haar en haar zoon?

      Grace Sachs, a happily married therapist with a young son, thinks she knows everything about women, men and marriage. She is about to publish a book based on her pet theory: women don't value their intuition about men, leading to serious trouble later on. But how well does Grace know her own husband? She is about to find out, and in the place of what she thought she knew, there will be a violent death, a missing husband, and a chain of terrible revelations. Left behind in the wake of a very public disaster, and horrified by the ways in which she has failed to heed her own advice, Grace must dismantle one life and create another for herself and her child.
