From the author of the best-selling Le Divorce and Le Mariage, a sly, subversive, and utterly "delightful comedy of manners" (The Wall Street Journal) Lorna Mott Dumas, small, pretty, high-strung, is the epitome of a successful woman--with lovely offspring and grandchildren, a French husband, a delightful house, and an independent career as an admired art lecturer. She has both an uncomplicated, sociable nature and an intellectual life. But then Lorna decides to leave her husband, a notorious seducer, and his small ancestral village in France, and return to an America she has been away from for twenty years. For Lorna, a beautiful idyll is over, finished, done ... In Lorna Mott Comes Home, Diane Johnson brings us into the dreamy, anxiety-filled world of a woman struggling to create a new life in San Francisco. Into the mix come her ex-husband, her three grown children, and her grandchildren, all with their own dramatic troubles, navigating a tumultuous mix of comedy and tragedy, happiness and anxiety, contentment and striving, generosity and greed, love and sex. In this witty and poignant novel, Johnson--long our Edith Wharton of expat life--comes home to America to deftly portray, with the lightest of touches, the way we live here, now.
