Aprašymas

From the bestselling author of An Englishwoman in New York, Anne-Marie Casey's new novel tells the story of Liddy James, top New York divorce attorney, 44 and fabulous. A bestselling author and mother of two, Liddy glides through the courtrooms and salons of the manhattan elite with ease, But Liddy's success was not handed to her n a plate. The only child of Irish immigrant parents, Liddy forced her way through Yale and Stanford and now (despite the unfortunate circumstances of her divorce) lives an enviable life: Manhattan loft, Life Coach, the perfect nanny - and the occasional no-strings fling. Liddy's life is perfect.

Until it isn't. Bit by bit, Liddy's carefully constructed existence begins to unravel: her finances topple over into precarious; her nany leaves; her younger son starts asking who his father is; and an unexpected pregnancy forces her older son's caretaker to bed rest. Suddenly Liddy is a full-time mother and the juggling act of a lifetime begins. It's not long before her perfect world comes tumbling down... With her brilliant career in tatters, Liddy takes her sons and escapes for the summer to Ireland, home of her birth, where she embarks on a physical and emotional journey to find out just who is THE REAL LIDDY JAMES?

Sharply written and deftly observed, THE REAL LIDDY JAMES offers all the humour and energy of a screwball comedy, but also a warm, emotionally involving and brutally honest examination of the complex choices and complicated lives of contemporary women.
