Présentation de l'éditeur
Celeste, at a less-than-tender age, finds herself engaged, living in a penthouse apartment, and jetting off on exotic trips. But after her initial rapture with Alex, Celeste discovers that he's not perfect, and she's not perfect. Alex makes her angry, he often seems to care more about his job than her, and he's prone to bouts of rage. And Celeste is drinking too much.
As Celeste begins to question her relationship and herself, she is haunted by painful memories of her past in well-mannered, blue-blood Connecticut. The people she loved most have all vanished--her beautiful French mother, who died young; her high school best friend, Sally, who suffered from severe depression; her first love, Nathan, who developed an insatiable case of wanderlust. Even in adulthood, Celeste's closest friends seem to abandon her, and she still, ten years later, cannot let go of her lingering passion for Nathan, who is the opposite of Alex in every way.
Celeste comes to realize that her life is full of lies, and that she must take responsibility for the choices she has made. In a bold refusal to compromise, she challenges her fiance, her family, and the very society in which she's steeped.
Présentation de l'éditeur
In this splendid novel, Celeste finds herself engaged to Alex, a wealthy man whose standards are as exacting as her own -- or so she thought. As she begins to question their relationship and herself, Celeste is haunted by painful memories: of her past in well-heeled, blue-blooded Connecticut; of the friends and family who seem to have disappeared from her life; and of Nathan, for whom Celeste still carries a lingering passion. At last coming to terms with the lies and illusions that have propelled her forward for years, Celeste must take responsibility for the choices she has made. She decides to be true to herself -- and so challenges her fiancé, her family, and the very society in which she's steeped.
