Описание:

"A keen, exuberant, unexpected story of friendship and ambition among the newly minted...I loved it." --Beatriz Williams, New York Times bestselling author of A Hundred Summers

Four bright young graduates charge into the real world with all the unfounded confidence of twenty-two.

M., our narrator, is one of the few young women at her prestigious investment bank, who insists she will always prefer her signet ring to any diamond.

Belle is M.'s college best friend, a whimsical romantic who escapes into the pretty world of her viral blog when tragedy strikes.

Chase is Belle's British-American on-again, off-again boyfriend. Equal parts fraternity bro and Savile Row, he is M.'s colleague and arch nemesis.

Jeremy is M.'s new friend, an earnest, modern-day Gatsby, who would rather be piloting a hot air balloon than stuck behind his Wall Street desk.

As they are pulled deeper into their new lives, style and substance--and dreams and reality--increasingly blur. In this fake plastic world, what do success and happiness and love even look like?

Описание: 'Downright hilarious... Like watching a slow-motion car crash. Theroux possesses a fabulously nasty sense of humour' Stephen KingA riotously dysfunctional portrait of one all-American family and its diabolical matriarch - by one of America's most acclaimed writersEveryone in Cape Cod thinks that Mother is a wonderful woman: pious, hard-working, frugal.

Everyone except her husband and seven children. To them she is a selfish and petty tyrant -- endlessly comparing her many living children to the one who died in childbirth, keeping a vice-like hold on her offspring even as they try to escape into adulthood. Welcome to Mother Land: a suffocating kingdom of parental narcissism.

This is an engrossing, hilarious and heartbreaking portrait of a modern family -- the bickering, the conspiracies, and the drive to overcome the painful ties that bind. 'Brilliantly depicts characters in pinpoint prickly prose' Guardian'Funny and wonderfully mean spirited' Saturday Review'The family dynamic has been rendered exceptionally well' Herald
