Articoli correlati a Daughters-in-law
As Anthony and Rachel Brinkley welcome their third daughter-in-law to the family, they don’t quite realize the profound shift that is about to take place. For different reasons, the Brinkleys’ two previous daughters-in-law hadn’t been able to resist Rachel’s maternal control and Anthony’s gentle charm and had settled into their husbands’ family without rocking the boat.
But Charlotte—very young, very beautiful, and spoiled—has no intention of falling into step with the Brinkleys and wants to establish her own household. Soon Rachel’s sons begin to think of their own houses as home and of their mother’s house as simply the place where their parents live—a necessary and inevitable shift of loyalties that threatens Rachel’s sense of herself, breaks Anthony’s heart, and causes unexpected consequences in all the marriages. Then a crisis brings these changes to the surface, and everyone has to learn what family love means all over again.

Recensione:
“Trollope is a quietly brilliant, mesmerizing storyteller. Her readers are fully engaged from the first paragraph of each book to its last sentence, captured by the finely rendered details of the characters' lives and caught up in their struggles.” --Washington Post*
“[Trollope] aims for the heart... and she hits it.”
– The New Yorker
Joanna "
Joanna Trollope creates an impeccably observed world, exploring the vagaries of love and family ties with honest grace.”
--Connie May Fowler, author of How Clarissa Burden Learned to Fly
“[A] thoroughly engaging, intelligent, literate novel.” –Jonathan Yardley, The Washington Post
