100° oprah winfrey book club pick "radiante e brillantemente realizzata" new york times -----migliori amiche e sorelle, le quattro ragazze padavano portano un caos amorevole nel loro affiatato quartiere italoamericano. William waters è cresciuto in una casa ridotta al silenzio dalla tragedia, dove i suoi genitori non riuscivano quasi a guardarlo, figuriamoci ad amarlo. Così, quando incontra la vivace e ambiziosa julia padavano, è come se il mondo si fosse illuminato intorno a lui. Con julia arriva la sua famiglia: sylvie, la sognatrice della famiglia, è più felice con il naso nei libri; cecelia è un'artista dallo spirito libero; ed emeline si prende pazientemente cura di tutti loro. Ma quando l'oscurità del passato di william inizia a bloccare la luce del suo futuro, è sylvie, non julia, a diventare la sua più intima confidente. Il risultato è una frattura catastrofica che lascia la famiglia a vivere su due lati di una faglia. Riusciranno a ritrovare la strada l'uno per l'altra? l'amore può rendere unita una famiglia distrutta? ----- 'bellissimo, perspicace, malinconico.
