L'America vista dagli occhi di una giovane irlandese che emigra in cerca del suo posto nel mondo. 1952.

Nella casa di Eilis Lacey, a Long Island, suona il campanello. Alla porta c'è uno sconosciuto, irlandese come lei, che viene a portarle una notizia sconvolgente. La vita di Eilis negli ultimi vent'anni è scorsa piuttosto tranquillamente: i due figli ora adolescenti, Larry e Rosella, il marito idraulico Tony, e nelle casette adiacenti due dei suoi cognati, Enzo e Mauro, con le rispettive famiglie, oltre alla torreggiante suocera Francesca. Una tipica famiglia italo-americana degli anni Settanta, che lavora, mangia, dorme, decide, vive insieme, molto presente e disponibile ma almeno altrettanto voluminosa e invadente.

Aus dem Englischen von Giovanni Bandini. Colm Toibin erzählt mit einmaliger Empathie das Leben von Thomas Mann als Roman. Von der Kindheit in Lübeck bis zur Heirat in München, von der Gegnerschaft gegen die Nazis bis zum amerikanischen Exil. Wie viele Gesichter hatte der weltberühmte Autor und Familienvater, der sein Gefühlsleben verborgen hielt, zerrissen zwischen homosexuellem Begehren und familiärem Pflichtgefühl, zwischen der Wonne der Bürgerlichkeit und der künstlerischen Askese?
