Revue de presse

A writer of great gifts. Cunningham's voice reaches that lyrical beauty in which even the grimmest events suggest their potential for grace (The New York Times Book Review )

Intensely, almost painfully intimate. A superb and major novel (David Leavitt )

As well as being fluent and attractive, this intimate saga of our times is immensely wise (Mail on Sunday )

Cunningham writes with power and delicacy of his three characters. Yet each one retains the mystery that in people is called soul, and in fiction is called art (The Los Angeles Times )

Extremely intelligent, moving and accomplished. Cunningham has mastered the art of evoking the richness of domestic lives (Sunday Times )

Présentation de l'éditeur

Boyhood friends, Jonathan and Bobby meet up again in New York after college. Bobby moves in with Jonathan and his roommate, Clare, a veteran of the city’s erotic wars. Bobby and Clare fall in love, scuttling the plans of Jonathan, who is gay, to father Clare’s child. When Clare and Bobby have a baby, the three move to a small house upstate to raise “their” child together and, with an odd friend called Alice, create a new kind of family.
