Meer over het boek

"Where did she come from? It was never quite clear. Zach Dale is a young doctor and favored son in a nouveau riche Jewish-American family. His parents, who still show traces of immigrant striving, have made it their life's endeavor to secure him a golden future, complete with a love match as strong and blessed as their own. In walks the bewitching Lennox, fresh off a Florida tennis court. It's 1978, and she's a game-changer. High maintenance in a way that turns Zach on, and compelling enough to convince Ruth and David Dale that their son is finally on his way to the life he deserves. In a whirlwind, Zach and Lennox start building that life together -- amid some disquieting signs that slide past everyone but Gail, the dutiful daughter cast long ago into the role of helper and observer. From first doubts to barely contained disbelief -- and from a Chicago apartment to a Scottish castle to a Costa Rica escape -- Gail is witness to all of her sister-in-law's increasingly bold transformations. Meanwhile, the rest of her family traipses along for the ride, oblivious to cost or consequence. Even when Lennox's luck finally runs out. " -- back cover
