Reseña del editor:

The arrival of Jane, a ragamuffin young girl claiming to be his daughter, changes the life of Tom Owens, a successful entrepreneur, and transforms his personal relationships with others into an oddly cohesive family unit. Repritn. 40,000 first printing. Tour.

Nota de la solapa:

Mona Simpson's first two novels, "Anywhere But Here and "The Lost Father, won her literary renown and a wide following. Now, in her third novel, the narrator Ann Atassi has been replaced by a third-person narrator recounting the adventures of young Jane di Natali, but the theme remains the same: the search for, and the attempt to understand, the absent father.
This time the father is a millionaire biotechnology magnate named Tom Owens. Into Owens's charmed life comes Jane, born out of wedlock, raised in communes, and now dispatched into his care by a mother who is no longer capable of providing it; Tom is far from ready for this responsibility. Fans of Simpson's previous novels will not be disappointed by this excursion into the cracked world of family relations.
"Simpson is an attentive observer and a fluent stylist, but it is the element of subtle surprise that draws us through these pages, the magnetism of an original mind that holds us fast."
