What is Going to Happen Next - Karen Hofmann - Bog

Bag om What is Going to Happen Next

Karen Hofmanns empathetic and cathartic novel pieces together the lives of five members of the Lund family following their enforced dispersal after the death of the father and the hospitalisation of the mother in the remote West Coast community of Butterfly Lake. It explores their self-doubts and aspirations in the ways they cope with their separation and reunion through their work and personal relationships, and reveals the ways in which their past is filtered through memory and desire. It also skillfully exposes a Vancouver class system from the perspectives of diverse socio-economic conditions and lifestyles. The book is character-driven and well-wrought, with a tenderness that propels the reader forward alongside the Lunds who are learning to fuse together as a chosen family.
