このコンテンツについて
After the sudden death of his wife, Maida, Gene is haunted by the fear that their marriage was not all it appeared to be. Alongside Ed and Gayle Donnelly, friends since college days, he tries to resurrect happy memories of the times the two couples shared, raising their children in a small New Hampshire town and vacationing together at a lake house every summer.
Meanwhile, his daughter, Dary, challenges not only his happy version of the past but also his view of Maida. As a long-standing rift between them deepens, Gene starts to understand how unknown his daughter is to him -- and how enigmatic his wife was as well. And a lingering suspicion seizes his mind that could upend everything he thought he knew.
Katharine Dion's assured debut moves seamlessly between Gene's present-day journey and the long history of a marriage and friendship. Rich and wonderfully alive, The Dependents is the most moving kind of drama, an intimate glance into the expanse of family life and the way we must all eventually bridge the chasm between what we want to believe and what we know to be true.
批評家のレビュー
"An eloquent debut about memory, love, grief, and friendship . . . The Dependents moves elegantly from past to present, starting with four college friends whose lives become inexorably linked . . . The talented Dion has written a gorgeously meditative debut about how unfully we live our lives or know ourselves and our loved ones."—Caroline Leavitt, San Francisco Chronicle
"This is the beach read you'll still be thinking about as the leaves fall...Debut novelist Dion writes like a dream. Or John Cheever crossed with a very insightful feminist."—Kim Hubbard, People
"Dion's wise debut asks compelling questions about memory and grieving...Stunning."—Entertainment Weekly
"Dion's resplendent debut ponders the fickleness of memory and the human propensity for nostalgia and self-doubt."—O Magazine
"Dion's debut is a heartbreaking meditation on the long process that is healing from grief."—Real Simple
"Moving and profound."—Mackenzie Dawson, New York Post
"When this book arrived in the mail, its author, Katharine Dion, was a person unknown to me. Not anymore. The Dependents is a fine debut, full of intelligent writing and free of the canine desire to please that afflicts so much contemporary writing. And yet this book pleases on many levels. I will look for Ms. Dion's work in the future."—Jeffrey Eugenides, Pulitzer Prize-winning and New York Times bestselling author of Middlesex and The Marriage Plot
"This richly textured family drama is a marvel of a novel. With great subtlety and tact, it evokes the love, devotion, and sadness that bind a grieving father to his troubled daughter. Its cumulative power comes from the depth of Dion's entry into her characters and the vividness of her prose that brings them to life. The Dependents is one of the best debut novels I've read in years, and a very auspicious one.—Adam Haslett, Pulitzer Prize finalist and author of Imagine Me Gone
"The Dependents is a big book, one that grapples with important questions through generations--the way we live now, the way we may have chosen to live then--and the consequences. Dion's intelligence and ambition truly shine through sentence after sentence."—Kate Walbert, National Book Award finalist and author of A Short History of Women
"The Dependents is a brilliant and absorbing novel that's not afraid to ask the big questions: What is the source of happiness? How do we recover from loss? How much do we really know about the people we love? This is a masterly portrait of grief written by an author of enormous sensitivity and insight."—Nathan Hill, New York Times bestselling author of The Nix
