What happened to the women we were supposed to become ?
Hannah, Cate and Lissa are young, vibrant and inseparable. Living on the edge of a common in East London, their shared world is ablaze with art and activism, romance and revelry and the promise of everything to come. They are electric. They are the best of friends. Ten years on, they are not where they hoped to be. Amidst flailing careers and faltering marriages, each hungers for what the others have. And each wrestles with the same question: what does it take to lead a meaningful life? |
Note de contenu : |
The most razor-sharp and heartbreaking novel of the year, "EXPECTATION" is a novel about finding your way: as a mother, a daughter, a wife, a rebel.
