Description
A Shep Knacker no le ha ido nada mal en los negocios, pero desde la adolescencia sueña con retirarse todavía joven a un paraíso tercermundista, donde sus dólares valdrán mucho más y le durarán para siempre. Shep ya tiene el capital necesario para hacer real su sueño, pero su esposa, a quien él suponía comprometida con su proyecto, ha ido demorando la partida con distintos pretextos. Pero ahora Shep ha quemado las naves –o eso cree él– y ha comprado billetes, sólo de ida, para la isla de Pemba, cerca de Madagascar. Y entonces ella le revela que tiene una enfermedad rara y de muy mal pronóstico, un mesotelioma peritoneal, y que él no puede dejar su trabajo porque ella necesita su seguro médico para los tratamientos todavía experimentales que pueden salvarla... Una novela sobre el esplendor y las miserias de la clase media-baja americana, escrita con un notable despliegue de talento y ferocidad. «Una novela vigorosa» (Terry Apter, Times Literary Supplement). «Un grito furioso... La autora va mucho más allá de las fábulas hollywoodienses y pide cuentas a la sociedad americana y a un sistema que profundiza las desigualdades sociales» (Christine Ferniot, Lire). «Shriver, una escritora arriesgada y con una imaginación proteica, nos presenta otra novela deslumbrante y provocativa» (Publishers Weekly).
