Homes A.M. Livres
A.M. Homes plonge dans les paysages complexes des relations humaines, explorant des thèmes profonds d'identité, de famille et d'appartenance. Sa prose est célébrée pour sa perspicacité psychologique acérée et un examen sans compromis de la condition humaine. L'auteure tisse magistralement des récits qui brouillent souvent les frontières de la réalité, mettant les lecteurs au défi de confronter les structures qui nous façonnent. Sa voix littéraire distinctive est à la fois provocatrice et profondément résonnante, l'établissant comme une figure significative de la littérature contemporaine.
On the day that Homes was born in 1961, she was given up for adoption. Thirty years later, out of the blue, Homes was contacted by a lawyer on behalf of her birth mother, and they began to correspond; her biological father contacted her soon after. These two individuals and their effect on the adult Homes are strange and unexpected.
The dazzling new state-of-the-nation novel from one of America's most significant contemporary writers and winner of the Women's Prize for May We Be Forgiven, which explores the makings of our political times.
