Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: Good. Greenie Duquette, openhearted yet stubborn, devotes most of her passionate attention to her Greenwich Village bakery and her four year old son, George. Her husband, Alan, seems to have fallen into a mid-life depression, while Walter, a traditional gay man who has become her closest professional ally, is nursing a broken heart. It is at Walter's restaurant that the visiting governor of New Mexico tastes Greenie's coconut cake and decides to woo her away from the city to be his chef. For reasons both ambitious and desperate, she accepts - and finds herself heading west without her husband. This impulsive decision will change the course of several lives within and beyond Greenie's orbit. Alan, alone in New York, must face his demons; Walter, eager for platonic distraction, takes in his teenage nephew Yet Walter cannot steer clear of love trouble and, despite his enforced solitude, Alan is still surrounded by women: his powerful sister, an old flame, and an animal lover named Saga, who grapples with demons of her own. As for Greenie, living in the shadow of a charismatic politician leads to a series of unseen consequences that separate her from her only child. We watch as folly, chance and determination pull all these lives together and apart over the year that culminates in the fall of the twin towers at the World Trade Center, an event that will affirm or confound the choices each character has made - or has refused to face. 513 pages.
