Beschreibung

<p><b>A searing novel about being a wife, a mother, and an artist, and how marriage makes liars of us all.</b><br><br>'<b>An unflinchingly true and honest depiction of a marriage turning from gold to dust - the resentments and disappointments that can rot the heart' - Miranda Cowley Heller, author of <i>The Paper Palace</i><br><br>'A white-hot dissection of the power imbalances in a marriage, and as gripping as you want fiction to be. Any spouse that has ever argued about money, time, work and childcare should read it' - Nick Hornby, author of </b><i><b>High Fidelity</b></i><br><br><i>A nuclear family can destroy a woman artist. I'd always known that. But I'd never suspected how easily I'd fall into one anyway.</i><br><br>When Jane, an aspiring writer, meets filmmaker John Bridges, they both want the same things: to be in love, to live a successful, creative life, and to be happy. When they marry, Jane believes she has found everything she was looking for, including - a few years later - all the attendant joys and labors of motherhood. But it's not long until Jane finds herself subsumed by John's ambitions, whims, and ego; in short, she becomes a wife.<br><br>As Jane's career flourishes, their marriage starts to falter. Throughout the upheavals of family life, Jane tries to hold it all together. That is, until John leaves her.<br><br><b>Sarah Manguso's <i>Liars</i> is a tour de force of wit and rage, telling the blistering story of a marriage as it burns to the ground, and of a woman rising inexorably from its ashes.<br><br>'Painful and brilliant - I loved it' - Elif Batuman</b>, author of <i>The Idiot</i> and <i>Either/Or</i></p>
