A Primeira Vez

Com todas as características de um clássico contemporâneo, A primeira vez é uma luz fascinante sobre um casamento diante de um impasse: laços que se esgarçam mas não se rompem. Marido e mulher, efetivamente distantes um do outro há muito tempo, descobrem, pela primeira vez, o verdadeiro significado do amor. Ao mesmo tempo catártico e inspirador, A primeira vez encontra Joy Fielding no ápice do talento, explorando a espantosa capacidade de recuperação do espírito humano. After sixteen years of marriage, Mattie Hart discovers that her husband, Jake—a high-profile Chicago attorney—is involved in yet another love affair. But a far greater crisis descends upon the Hart family after Jake leaves home; Mattie receives devastating news that will alter their lives. Wracked by guilt, Jake returns to the wife he has never really loved and the teenage daughter who wants nothing to do with him. Here, in these most unexpected circumstances, Joy Fielding deftly ushers her characters through a poignant drama about love’s astonishing power to heal the deepest wounds. THE FIRST TIME is a dazzling illumination of a marriage at the crossroads, where a long estranged husband and wife discover, for the first time, what love really means.
