Beschreibung
Winner of the New England Book Award for Fiction. From Lily King, beloved author of Writers and Lovers. , Father of the Rain. is a mesmerising novel about the complexity and power of familial love. Gardiner Amory's life is reeling - Nixon is being impeached, his wife is leaving him and his worldview is rapidly becoming outdated. His daughter, Daley, has spent her life negotiating her parents' conflicting worlds: the liberal realm of her mother and the conservative, liquor-soaked life of her father. But when the pair divorces, Gardiner's basest impulses are unleashed in a deluge, and the chasm between all of them widens. As she reaches adulthood, Daley rejects her father's prejudices and embarks on her own life - until Gardiner hits rock bottom. Returning home to help her father get sober, Daley risks everything, including a chance at love, in an attempt to repair a trust that was broken long ago. 'A gripping epic about a father and daughter that plumbs the dark side of a family riven by addiction and mental illness' - Entertainment Weekly.
