A punto de cumplir cuarenta y cuatro anos, el universo de Reta Winters, versada novelista y traductora, felizmente unida (pero no casada) a Tom, padre de sus tres hijas, se derrumba el dia en que descubre que su hija mayor, Norah, lo deja todo b"hogar, universidad y noviob" para sentarse en la esquina de una calle con un letrero alrededor del cuello que dice: bondad, y una escudilla para mendigar. La angustia por esa perdida hace que Reta se embarque en una busqueda desesperada para averiguar los motivos del abandono de su hija. Ninguna de las razones obvias parece encajar. A medida que Reta avanza terreno, sus pesquisas se convertiran en una imperterrita, a menudo tronchante, explicacion de nuestra sociedad y de las razones por las que una joven puede llegar a concluir que no hay ningun sitio para ella. Dejarlo todo es una brillante y atrevida novela que posee la indiscutible maestria de las extraordinarias obras sobre la llamada B+gente corrienteB; .

Work Description

Reta Winters has many reasons to be happy. Then in the spring of her forty-fourth year, all the quiet satisfactions of her well-lived life disappear in a moment: her eldest daughter Norah suddenly runs from the family and ends up mute and begging on a Toronto street corner with a hand-lettered sign reading GOODNESS around her neck.

Piercing and sad, astute and evocative, full of tenderness and laughter, Unless will stand with The Stone Diaries in the canon of Carol Shields’s fiction.
