Description
Una historia de verano, secretos, amor y mentiras: en el transcurso de un singular dia en Cape Cod, una mujer debe tomar una decision que cambiara su vida y que se ha estado gestando durante decadas. Situado en los bosques y playas de verano de Cape Cod, The Paper Palace se desarrolla durante 24 horas y 50 anos, mientras decadas de legado familiar, amor, mentiras, secretos y una tragedia infantil indescriptible llevan a la esposa y madre Elle Bishop al precipicio de una decision que cambia la vida. Con su ambientacion transportadora y su ritmo propulsor, la historia se basa en la dulce promesa del amor joven, asi como en el dano desgarrador causado por demasiados secretos. Es una historia de lectura compulsiva sobre las tensiones entre los ideales romanticos de la infancia con los que crecemos y las responsabilidades familiares que nos llevan a la edad adulta. Deben nuestras elecciones de vida seguir siendo irrevocables si se modifican las condiciones? Es una manana perfecta de julio y Elle, una mujer de cincuenta anos felizmente casada y madre de tres hijos, se despierta en "El Palacio de Papel", el lugar de verano familiar que ha visitado todos los veranos de su vida. Pero esta manana es diferente, porque anoche Elle y su amigo mas antiguo, Jonas, salieron sigilosamente por la puerta trasera hacia la oscuridad y tuvieron relaciones sexuales por primera vez, todo mientras sus conyuges charlaban adentro. Ahora, durante las proximas 24 horas, Elle tendra que decidir entre la vida que ha hecho con su genuinamente amado esposo, Peter, y la vida que siempre imagino que habria tenido con su amor de la infancia, Jonas, si no hubiera ocurrido un tragico evento. Cambio para siempre el curso de sus vidas. A medida que Heller colorea las experiencias que han llevado a Elle hasta el dia de hoy, llegamos a su decision final con toda su complejidad. Tierno pero devastador, El palacio de papel considera las tensiones entre el deseo y la dignidad; los legados del abuso; y los delitos y faltas de familia.
Description
A story of summer, secrets, love and lies: in the course of a singular day on Cape Cod, one woman must make a life-changing decision that has been brewing for decades. Set against the summer backwoods and beaches of Cape Cod, The Paper Palace unfolds over 24 hours and across 50 years, as decades of family legacy, love, lies, secrets, and one unspeakable childhood tragedy lead wife and mother Elle Bishop to the precipice of a life-changing decision. With its transporting setting and propulsive pace, the story draws on the sweet promise of young love, as well as the heartbreaking damage incurred by too many secrets. It's a compulsively readable story about the tensions between the romantic childhood ideals we grow up with, and the family responsibilities that carry us into adulthood. Must our life choices remain irrevocable if the conditions are changed? It is a perfect July morning, and Elle, a fifty-year-old happily married mother of three, awakens at "The Paper Palace"-- the family summer place which she has visited every summer of her life. But this morning is different, because last night Elle and her oldest friend Jonas crept out the back door into the darkness and had sex with each other for the first time, all while their spouses chatted away inside. Now, over the next 24 hours, Elle will have to decide between the life she has made with her genuinely beloved husband, Peter, and the life she always imagined she would have had with her childhood love, Jonas, if a tragic event hadn't forever changed the course of their lives. As Heller colors in the experiences that have led Elle to this day, we arrive at her ultimate decision with all its complexity. Tender yet devastating, The Paper Palace considers the tensions between desire and dignity; the legacies of abuse; and the crimes and misdemeanors of families.
