Anotace
Haunting and elegant, Hausfrau is the exceptional debut novel from
the prize-winning American poet, Jill Alexander Essbaum. Anna was a
good wife, mostly ...Anna Benz lives in comfort and affluence with
her husband and three young children in Dietlikon, a
picture-perfect suburb of Zurich. Anna, an American expat, has
chosen this life far from home; but, despite its tranquility and
order, inside she is falling apart. Feeling adrift and unable to
connect with her husband or his family; with the fellow expatriates
who try to befriend her; or even, increasingly, her own thoughts
and emotions, Anna attempts to assert her agency in the only way
that makes sense to her: by engaging in short-lived but intense
sexual affairs. But adultery, too, has its own morality, and when
Anna finds herself crossing a line, she will set off a terrible
chain of events that ends in unspeakable tragedy. As her life
crashes down around her, Anna must then discover where one must go
when there is no going back...
