His wife, Charlotte, grieves a life not lived,while his 18-year-old daughter, Meghan, begins to realize that her favorite subject history is not exactly what her father taught her.In a story that is as much about the dynamics within a family as it is about the desire for those in power to remain in power, Homes presciently unpacks a dangerous rift in American identity, prompting a reconsideration of the definitionof truth, freedom and democracy and exploring the explosive consequences of what happens when the same words mean such different things to people living together under one roof.From the writer who is always razor sharp and furiously good (Zadie Smith), a darkly comic political parable braided with a Bildungsroman that takes us inside the heart of a divided country. 416 pp. Englisch.…
