Peter and Rebecca Harris: mid-forties denizens of Manhattan’s SoHo, nearing the apogee of committed careers in the arts—he a dealer, she an editor. With a spacious loft, a college-age daughter in Boston, and lively friends, they are admirable, enviable contemporary urbanites with every reason, it seems, to be happy. Then Rebecca’s much younger look-alike brother, Ethan (known in thefamily as Mizzy, “the mistake”), shows up for a visit. A beautiful, beguiling twenty-three-year-old with a history of drug problems, Mizzy is wayward, at loose ends, looking for direction. And in his presence, Peter finds himself questioning his artists, their work, his career—the entire world he has so carefully constructed.

4 (Muito bom)

Apaixonada pela voz do Hugh Dancy

Até agora não sei se o livro é muito bom ou se foi a voz do Hugh Dancy que me viciou, mas esse livro é maravilhoso.
A história flui de maneira lenta, mas as descrições são ótimas e conseguimos sempre saber o ques está passando pela cabeça do Peter.
