A new work by Michael Cunningham—winner of the Pulitzer Prize—has been eagerly awaited!
This novel has been recognized as one of the best books of the year by NPR, Harper’s Bazaar, Lit Hub, Paste, and Kirkus Reviews.
The life paths of one family in Brooklyn intersect against the backdrop of personal crises, dreams, and upheavals. How will the pandemic affect them, and will they be able to adapt to the new reality?
One day—April 5—and its impact on Dan and Isabelle’s family in 2019, 2020, and 2021. How did their lives change before the pandemic, during isolation, and after it? What gave them this forced seclusion? And will the new reality help change something? Or will the eternal problems remain unchanged? Growing up and finding independence always come with difficulties; in family life many things become routine and lose their novelty, and it’s not easy to find a person who truly understands you. As usual, Cunningham not only masterfully describes his characters, but also draws the reader into their experiences and feelings.
