Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Grogan's memoir of his journey for identity is akin to Barack Obama's Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance."--Library Journal

"From the author of Marley & Me (2005), this is an extraordinary memoir of estrangement and reconciliation."--Booklist

"John Grogan is more like Marley than he might want to believe. An affable, unassuming rabble-rouser, the author who penned a bestseller about his goofy dog gets up to some hilarious antics of his own ... The resulting story is full of humor [and] poignant scenes.--BookPage

"Genuinely heartending. . .Grogan invests these events with deeply felt humanity and pathos."--Janet Maslin, New York Times

"With his telltale humor and poignant observations about life and our humanity, John Grogan delivers another emotional wallop here. THE LONGEST TRIP HOME is a must read for anyone who has questioned their faith, sought to understand their identity, and loved their family. In other words, everyone."--Ann Hood, author of Comfort: A Journey Through Grief and The Knitting Circle

"Wry and witty. . . [a] full-hearted and worthy memoir."--Washington Post

"As he did in Marley, Grogan makes readers feel they have a seat at the family dinner table. He's now a nonpracticing Catholic, but here-to wonderful effect-he confesses all."--People

Reseña del editor:

A best-selling prequel to the best-selling Marley & Me offers the author's account of growing up in a devout Catholic family, the author's struggle to conform to his parents' expectations and religious beliefs and what it means to break away and to find one's way home once again. Reprint. 75,000 first printing.
