Another day! And then another and another and another. It seemed as if it would all go on forever in that exquisitely boring and beautiful way. But of course it wouldn’t; everyone knows that. In this collection, Hilma Wolitzer invites us inside the private world of domestic bliss, seen mostly through the lens of Paulie and Howard’s gloriously ordinary marriage. From hasty weddings to meddlesome neighbours and ex-wives who just won’t leave, Wolitzer captures the tensions, contradictions and unexpected detours of daily life with wit, candour and an acutely observant eye.

Es ist Herbst in Crosby, dem kleinen Küstenstädtchen in Maine. Vor ein paar Jahren ist Lucy Barton, erfolgreiche Schriftstellerin und Mutter zweier erwachsener Töchter, mit ihrem Ex-Mann William hierhergezogen. In ein abseits gelegenes Haus am Meer. Doch die beschauliche Ruhe in Crosby wird gestört, als eine alte Frau spurlos verschwindet. Und auch Lucys Welt gerät still und leise aus dem Lot. Auf den einsamen Spaziergängen mit Bob Burgess, ihrem alten Freund und Vertrauten, sprechen beide über ihr Leben und über das, was hätte sein können.

En cuanto pudieron, Jim y Bob Burgess huyeron de su pueblo natal en Maine a Nueva York. Jim, un elegante y exitoso abogado corporativo, lleva toda la vida subestimando a su hermano, y Bob, un abogado del estado que idolatra a Jim, ha llevado una vida tranquila. Sin embargo, esta dinámica se ve alterada cuando la hermana de los dos, Susan, que se quedó en su pueblo, los llama por un asunto urgente. Su hijo adolescente se ha metido en un mundo de problemas, y Susan necesita desesperadamente su ayuda.

Elizabeth Strouts ikoniske og elskede karakter fra Olive Kitteridge er tilbage i denne selvstændige efterfølger, Olive, igen. Som alderdommen nærmer sig, ændrer Olives liv sig. Hun ser frem mod et liv uden sin man Henry, med den ensomhed, som alderdommen kan føre med sig, men også med den nye, spirende kærlighed, som hendes nye livssituation giver grobund for. Gennem tretten historier følger vi Olives forsøg på at forstå sig selv, sin nye situation og de mennesker, der omgiver hende.

Lucy Barton se está recuperando lentamente en el hospital de lo que debería haber sido una operación simple. Desde la ventana de su habitación, en pleno centro de Manhattan, el edificio Chrysler se ilumina cada noche marcando el paso del tiempo, que avanza lento. Su madre, con quien no ha hablado en muchos años, viene a verla. Las dos mujeres pasarán unos días juntas, entre silencios y pequeños chismes sobre las vidas de personas que Lucy dejó atrás hace tiempo al irse de casa para perseguir su sueño de ser escritora en la gran ciudad.

Lucy Barton har svært ved at genvinde kræfterne efter en blindtarmsoperation. Hendes mor, som hun ikke har talt med i næsten tyve år, kommer og besøger hende på hospitalet på Manhattan. Småsladder om familie og bekendte fra den lille by i Illinois, hvor Lucy er vokset op, bringer dem lidt tættere på hinanden, men lige under overfladen syder de konflikter og længsler, der har formet hele Lucys tilværelse: hendes flugt fra en plaget opvækst, drømmen om at blive forfatter, hendes ægteskab, kærligheden til de to døtre.
