Gayle Forman - Engedj el

In this novel, with which Gayle Forman introduces herself to the adult readership, she tells with her characteristic humor and knowledge of people that sometimes we have to leave our home in order to find it again.
To all the women who've ever dreamed of pulling off the exit and not rushing home to cook dinner, to all the women who've ever imagined getting on a train and going to a place where no one demands eternal attention, we present Maribeth Klein, the overworked working mother who takes care of her husband and twins so conscientiously that she doesn't even notice when she's having a heart attack.
But when she is shocked to find that her recovery is a burden to those who have relied on her for everything, Maribeth does the unthinkable: she packs up and leaves. But as so often happens, once we get where we want to go, we see our life from a completely different perspective. Away from the constant expectations of family and work, and thanks to liberating new friendships, Maribeth finally takes the courage to learn the mysteries she has been hiding from her loved ones and from herself.

The big-hearted, stumbling, evolving and forgiving characters of ENTEGDJ EL teach us how to deal with our fears. Gayle Forman, a great connoisseur of human nature, confronts the contradictions of modern motherhood.
