Ik had dit boek al eerder gelezen maar wist er niet zo veel meer van. Een jong stel met kind woont bij de universiteit. De man (Holman) werkt daar, Emmy krijgt een geheime relatie met Will, een muziekdocent. De verwikkelingen en misverstanden zijn wel grappig, verder is het af en toe wat langdradig. Aan het eind van ieder hoofdstuk is een brief, geschreven door iemand die in het verhaal geen grote rol speelt. De kijk van een buitenstaander op het geheel. ( ) no reviews | add a review

In the Pulitzer Prize-winning author's "excellent" debut, a professor's wife searches for liberation at the hands of a music instructor (The New York Times). Though born in New York, the men of Emmy Turner's family have long found their spiritual home in the idyllic Convers College. Her father, brothers, and uncles entered the New England intellectual enclave as boys and came out men, ready to take on the challenges of the world. It is a pity, Emmy thinks, that women are not allowed to enroll. So when her husband, Holman, wins a place teaching at Convers, Emmy is thrilled to finally see what all the fuss is about. But by the time the first snow hits, she is bored, listless, and utterly out of love. Emmy's search for pleasure on campus leads her to Miranda, a cocky young bohemian, and Will, a music teacher specializing in sexual composition. Emmy may not be paying tuition, but in her first Convers winter she will learn more than she ever expected. The National Book Award-shortlisted author of Foreign Affairs Affairs, The War Between the Tates, and The Last Resort writes a sharply observant and poignant debut novel. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Alison Lurie including rare images from the author's collection. No library descriptions found. |
