Synopsis

Alles beginnt mit einem Schuss. Als Everett McClelland den heimlichen Liebhaber seiner Frau Lily erschießt, ist das nicht nur der hilflose Versuch, seine Ehe vor dem endgültigen Zerfall zu retten. Es ist auch der Höhepunkt einer seit Jahrzehnten schwelenden Rivalität zwischen mächtigen Farmerdynastien im fruchtbaren Sacramento Valley. Joan Didion erzählt in ihrem ersten Roman eine Familiengeschichte, so archaisch und voll rauer Schönheit wie die Landschaft Kaliforniens, die Didions Heimat ist.

From the Inside Flap

Joan Didion's electrifying first novel begins with a murder on the bank of the Sacramento River--a murder that is at once an act of vengeance and a blind attempt to shore up a disintegrating marriage. Out of that act, Didion constructs a tragic and beautifully nuanced work of fiction.
