After decades together, Russell and Corrine Calloway want a calm and stable family life, something that seems impossible to achieve in New York after the Lehman Brothers crisis. They dream of raising their children in the countryside, but their economic situation does not allow it. In a risky attempt to revive his publishing house, Russell hires a book that will be his salvation or his ruin, while the reappearance of a friend of Corrine's will question the strength of their relationship. This is an addictive novel that fully immerses us in Manhattan at the beginning of the 21st century, with the election of Obama and the global economic collapse as a background. McInerney follows the footsteps of Russell and Corrine to delve into the challenges of love and marriage and, like a Fitzgerald of our time, draws a superb portrait of the lights and shadows of the American dream. A brilliant conclusion to his trilogy of novels dedicated to the Calloways.
