With her trademark blend of “social satire, interpersonal
drama, and urban glamour” (The New York Times), Amy Sohn
delivers a candid, unsentimental look at modern marriage.
In her acclaimed novels, Amy Sohn has beguiled us with her
pinpoint observations of how we live and love, giving voice
to our innermost thoughts and everyday anxieties. Now, in
Motherland, her most diverting book to date, she introduces
us to five mothers and fathers in Cape Cod, Park Slope, and
Greenwich Village who find themselves adrift professionally
and personally. Rebecca Rose, whose husband has been acting aloof, is
tempted by the attentions of a former celebrity f lame;
Marco Goldstein, saddled with two kids when his husband,
Todd, is away on business, turns to anonymous sex for
comfort; Danny Gottlieb, a screenwriter on the cusp of a big
break, leaves his wife and children to pitch a film (and
meet young women) in Los Angeles; fallen sanctimommy Karen
Bryan Shapiro, devastated by her husband’s infidelity and
abandonment, attempts a fresh start with a hot single dad;
and former A-list actress Melora Leigh plots a star turn on
Broadway to revive her Hollywood career. As their stories
intersect in surprising ways and their deceptions spiral out
of control, they begin to question their beliefs about
family, happiness, and themselves. Equal parts moving and richly entertaining, Motherland is a
fresh take on modern marriage that confirms Amy Sohn as one
of our most insightful commentators on relationships and
parenting in America today.
