Homes A.M. Boeken
A.M. Homes duikt in de complexe landschappen van menselijke relaties, waarbij ze diepgaande thema's als identiteit, familie en verbondenheid onderzoekt. Haar proza wordt geprezen om zijn scherpe psychologische inzicht en een onverschrokken analyse van de menselijke conditie. De auteur weeft meesterlijk verhalen die vaak de grenzen van de werkelijkheid vervagen, en daagt lezers uit om de structuren waarmee we gevormd worden, onder ogen te zien. Haar onderscheidende literaire stem is zowel provocerend als diep resonant, wat haar vestigt als een belangrijke stem in de hedendaagse literatuur.
On the day that Homes was born in 1961, she was given up for adoption. Thirty years later, out of the blue, Homes was contacted by a lawyer on behalf of her birth mother, and they began to correspond; her biological father contacted her soon after. These two individuals and their effect on the adult Homes are strange and unexpected.
The dazzling new state-of-the-nation novel from one of America's most significant contemporary writers and winner of the Women's Prize for May We Be Forgiven, which explores the makings of our political times.
