Un voyage dans le temps poétique qui nous plonge dans l'effervescence du New York des années 1990.

Au milieu de ses voisines manucurées de l'Upper West Side, Alice Stern détonne. Elle travaille dans l'école où elle a étudié, elle est en couple mais elle vit seule, dans le même studio qu'il y a quinze ans, et elle n'a pas prévu d'arrêter de fumer.


Sa vie est passée en un clin d'œil, et la voilà à l'aube de ses quarante ans. Alice pensait qu'elle aurait eu plus de temps pour se prendre en main. Elle pensait aussi qu'elle aurait plus de temps auprès de Leonard, son père, malade.


Le soir de son anniversaire, elle s'endort devant leur ancien appartement de Manhattan. Le lendemain matin, elle se réveille en 1996, le jour de ses seize ans. Et, encore plus choquant : elle se retrouve face à un Leonard fringant.


Alice comprend vite comment passer d'une temporalité à l'autre et explorer les différentes versions de sa vie et de celle de son père. Maintenant qu'elle en a le pouvoir, changera-t-elle le cours de leur existence ?

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 . . .

'Funny yet tart, warm yet incisive. I adored it' Red

THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Two weeks in a remote island villa with America's most dysfunctional family - what could possibly go wrong?

It was set to be the family vacation of a lifetime.

From Manhattan to Majorca, two weeks in a remote island villa, with the sort of relaxation, culture and cuisine that only Europe can offer. At least, that was Franny's plan. She wasn't counting on the extra baggage . . .

Warm, wry and glowing with life, The Vacationers is a glorious novel of marriage, friendship, secrets, lies - and love.

Typisch Emma Straub: Geschickt verbindet sie 90er-Jahre-Nostalgie mit berührenden Momenten zwischen Vater und Tochter. Perfekte Lektüre für die kluge Frau!

Un été pop à Brooklyn
Dans cette rue-là, certains enfants ont deux mamans, des cheveux violet, le droit de fumer des joints. Dans cette rue-là, des couples de quadra vivent encore des droits d'auteur d'un tube écrit à quatre mains pour une icône rock suicidée qui fut leur camarade et plus si affinités. Dans cette rue-là, des amitiés se bonifient depuis l'université. Car cette rue-là se trouve au coeur du plus trépidant quartier de New York : Brooklyn. Et des trépidations, il y en a, au cours de ce fol été que traversent Elizabeth, Andrew et leur ado prodige, Harry, mais aussi
Jane, sa femme Zoe et leur explosive Ruby, née d'un don de sperme. Au programme : crise de fin d'ado et crise de la quarantaine, crise de couple et crise existentielle, crise de larmes et crise de fous rires !
AprèsLes Vacanciers, Emma Straub revient avec une nouvelle chronique impertinente. Du couple, des pièges de l'âge, de l'art d'être parent... et de l'éternel retour de flamme.

Los veraneantes nos convierte en voyeurs de las vacaciones de una familia neoyorquina, cuyas vicisitudes contemplamos con algo de perverso deleite, como si se se tratara de una película de Woody Allen.

Para los Post, el viaje de dos semanas a Mallorca con su familia y amigos es una celebración: Franny y Jim cumplen treinta y cinco años de casados y su hija, Sylvia, se ha graduado en el instituto. La soleada isla, con sus playas y montañas, sus tapas y sus pistas de tenis, promete también una tregua de las tensiones propias de Manhattan.

Sin embargo, no todo resulta según lo planeado: durante las vacaciones salen a la luz algunos secretos, se experimentan nuevas y antiguas humillaciones, resurgen rivalidades de la infancia y se reabren viejas heridas.

Emma Straub, con empatía y humor, nos habla de lo que decidimos mostrar y lo que intentamos ocultar de nosotros mismos, del modo en que nos destrozamos unos a otros y volvemos a reconstruirnos, y de los lazos que en última
