Эмма Страуб — библиография

From the New York Times Bestselling author of The Vacationers, Emma Straub brings us a sharply observed tale of modern love . . .
Twenty years later and they were supposed to be grown-ups...
Ditmas Park, Brooklyn.
Summer in the city . . .
College friends Elizabeth, Zoe and Andrew had a band, grew up, settled in New York and now they are still living round the corner from one another (and in each other's pockets).
One hot summer as their kids come of age, making those first hesitant steps into adulthood, it's the parents who find that the lives they've so carefully stitched together begin slowly to come apart . . .

If you could go back, would you do things differently?
Alice Stern isn't ready to turn forty. She thought she'd have more time to figure it all out. Above all, she thought she'd have more time with her father, Leonard - but he's lying in a hospital bed and Alice isn't sure if she'll hear his voice again.
When she falls asleep outside their old apartment on the night before her birthday, she's surprised to be greeted the next morning by a much younger Leonard, with a sixteenth birthday card for a teenage Alice who, far from clinging to her youth, is hurtling towards adulthood . . .
Alice soon discovers how she got back here, to 1996 and her sixteenth birthday, and realises she can keep on coming, whenever she chooses.
But faced each time with different versions of her life, and the consequences of her decisions, it's on her not to lose sight of what she wants most . . .

Одним днём мир для Мэри разделился на две половины. Некогда живущая спокойной жизнью и не знающая проблем, теперь каждый её день стал испытанием: сны, всё ужаснее и ужаснее, стали мучить девушку. Как отличить где реальность, а где сон?

Когда Астрид Стрик стала свидетелем аварии со школьным автобусом в центре города, на нее нахлынули воспоминания о тех временах, когда ее дети были совсем маленькими. Внезапно она осознала, что была совсем не тем родителем, каким хотела быть. И к каким это привело последствиям? «Здесь все взрослые» — роман об отцах и детях, которые вновь открывают для себя друг друга и стараются полюбить и принять.

Nutikas, kaasahaarav, vastupandamatu. – Liane Moriarty Straubil on anne paljastada elu suuremaid t?desid v?ikeste t?henduslike detailidega. – New York Magazine, Vulture S?brad ja endised ?likooliaegsed b?ndikaaslased Elizabeth, Andrew ja Zoe on aastate jooksul olnud tunnistajaks erinevatele olulistele s?ndmustele ?ksteise elus – abiellumine, kodu ostmine, ettev?tete ja perekonna loomine. Samal ajal on nad p??dnud k?igest v?est s?ilitada oma noorusaja identiteeti. B?ndi hiilgeaegadel varjas Elizabeth oma Kesk-L??ne naeratuse ?lbuselooriga, Andrew lasi juustel pikaks kasvada ja Zoe oli see lesbi, kellega k?ik heteronaised magada tahtsid. N??d, neljak?mnendates, elavad nad k?ik Brooklynis, s?gavalt keskklassiga asustanud naabruskonnas, ?ksteisest h?ikekaugusel, ning t?iskasvanute maailma argip?ev n?ib olevat saabunud valutult. Aga sel suvel, kui kahe paari lapsed on korraga suureks saanud (ja magavad teineteisega), hakkab nende hoolega ehitatud maailm laiali lagunema ning p?evavalgele kistud saladusi – nende endi, aga ka kuulsa neljanda b?ndiliikme kohta, kelle t?helend toimus ilma nendeta – ei saa enam kalevi alla peita. Straubi romaan, milles segunevad elutarkus, l?bin?gelikkus ja huumor, k?neleb s?pradest, uudishimust, ambitsioonidest ja naudingutest, nooruse elevusest, keskea ootamatusest ja t?siasjast, et meie kired – olgu nendeks toit v?i s?prus v?i muusika – ei kao p?riselt iial, need lihtsalt arenevad ja kasvavad koos meiega.
