Description
"Todas las familias guardan secretos, incluso las que parecen perfectas. Los Whitshank no son una excepción a esa regla, pero ¿quiénes son realmente los Whitshank? Pues una familia de clase media americana afincada en Baltimore desde 1920. A simple vista, parecen un clan unido por el afecto y la solidaridad. Sin embargo, pronto descubriremos que en el retrato que hacen de sí mismos solo aparece una parte de la fotografía. <> Así es como Abby comienza siempre a relatar cómo se enamoró de Red Whitshank. Pero eso fue en julio de 1959, y ahora estamos en pleno siglo XXI. Abby y Red se han hecho mayores, los cuatro hijos que tuvieron son ya adultos y con el transcurso de los años no solo han acumulado momentos de ternura, armonía y felicidad; su historia también esconde celos, decepciones y engaños. Sin embargo, más allá de los silencios, incluso más allá de la muerte, los Whitshank nunca dejan de ser una familia. Basta a veces que una madeja de hilo azul caiga al suelo en un momento clave para saber que no estamos solos ... Sucede así, incluso en las familias sencillas, incluso en las imperfectas, "--Amazon.com.
Description
It was a beautiful, breezy, yellow-and-green afternoon. . ." This is how Abby Whitshank always begins the story of how she fell in love with Red that day in July 1959. The Whitshanks are one of those families that radiate togetherness: an indefinable, enviable kind of specialness. But they are also like all families, in that the stories they tell themselves reveal only part of the picture. Abby and Red and their four grown children have accumulated not only tender moments, laughter, and celebrations, but also jealousies, disappointments, and carefully guarded secrets. From Red's father and mother, newly arrived in Baltimore in the 1920s, to Abby and Red's grandchildren carrying the family legacy boisterously into the twenty-first century, here are four generations of Whitshanks, their lives unfolding in and around the sprawling, lovingly worn Baltimore house that has always been their anchor. --Publisher.
