A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

“Genuinely heartending. . .Grogan invests these events with deeply felt humanity and pathos.” (Janet Maslin, New York Times)

“Wry and witty. . . [a] full-hearted and worthy memoir.” (Washington Post)

“As he did in Marley, Grogan makes readers feel they have a seat at the family dinner table. He’s now a nonpracticing Catholic, but here―to wonderful effect―he confesses all.” (People Magazine, 4 stars)

“As he did in Marley, Grogan makes readers feel they have a seat at the family dinner table. He’s now a nonpracticing Catholic, but here―to wonderful effect―he confesses all.” (Teen People Book Club)

“From the author of Marley & Me (2005), this is an extraordinary memoir of estrangement and reconciliation.” (Booklist)

“John Grogan is more like Marley than he might want to believe. An affable, unassuming rabble-rouser, the author who penned a bestseller about his goofy dog gets up to some hilarious antics of his own ... The resulting story is full of humor [and] poignant scenes. (BookPage)

“As he did in Marley, Grogan makes readers feel they have a seat at the family dinner table. He’s now a nonpracticing Catholic, but here-to wonderful effect-he confesses all.” (People)

“Grogan’s memoir of his journey for identity is akin to Barack Obama’s Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance.” (Library Journal)

“With his telltale humor and poignant observations about life and our humanity, John Grogan delivers another emotional wallop here. THE LONGEST TRIP HOME is a must read for anyone who has questioned their faith, sought to understand their identity, and loved their family. In other words, everyone.” (Ann Hood, author of Comfort: A Journey Through Grief and The Knitting Circle)

“As he did in Marley, Grogan makes readers feel they have a seat at the family dinner table….4 stars.”
—People

 

John Grogan, author of the phenomenal #1 New York Times bestseller, Marley & Me, once again takes readers into his past, his memories, and his heart in The Longest Trip Home—a funny and poignant memoir of faith, family, and identity. A New York Times bestseller in its own right, The Longest Trip Home has earned glowing accolades from the critics (“Genuinely heartrending,” —New York Times “Wry and witty,” —Washington Post; “Entertaining, funny, and, best of all, always honest at its core,” —St. Louis Post-Dispatch). And, just as Marley & Me was more than simply “a dog book,” John Grogan’s Longest Trip is much, much more than your typical story of a boy’s coming-of-age.
