三十岁的人生并不尽如人意,她们有时觉得不该失去的已经失去,该得到的却未得到。但那又如何。曾经追求浪漫、艺术、独立的女孩们,仍然像五月的野玫瑰一样活得肆意、盛大。
假如快乐有个总和,可以被挥霍殆尽,那么失望是否也有个总和,每个人都能够走到尽头?
汉娜,令人艳羡的女强人,总是妥善地规划自己的事业、家庭的未来,却发现育儿这件事规划不来……
丽萨,美丽叛逆的文艺青年,相信自己值得更好的,却始终负担不起理想中的生活……
凯特,名校毕业的优等生,耀眼的学历没有妨碍她嫁给平凡的丈夫,却妨碍她融入他的家庭……
《失望的总和》是三个女人的故事,也是她们在三十出头的年纪交出的人生答卷。
What happened to the women we were supposed to become?
Hannah, Cate and Lissa are young, vibrant and inseparable. Living on the edge of a common in East London, their shared world is ablaze with art and activism, romance and revelry – and the promise of everything to come. They are electric. They are the best of friends.
Ten years on, they are not where they hoped to be. Amidst flailing careers and faltering marriages, each hungers for what the others have. And each wrestles with the same question: what does it take to lead a meaningful life?
The most razor-sharp and heartbreaking novel of the year, EXPECTATION is a novel about finding your way: as a mother, a daughter, a wife, a rebel.
