Gone

By Cathi Hanauer

Book Overview

From the editor of the New York Times bestselling essay anthology The Bitch in the House and the novel Sweet Ruin comes a heart-pounding drama about a woman who must hold her family together after her husband disappears. Called "beautiful, complicated, and often funny" by O, The Oprah Magazine, "clear-eyed" by Vanity Fair, and "rich with relatable characters" by Kirkus Reviews, Cathi Hanauer's stirring novel is about redefining, in middle age, one's marriage, one's career, and even one's role as parent and friend. For fourteen years, Eve Adams has worked part-time while raising her two children and emotionally supporting her sculptor husband, Eric. Now, at forty-two, she has a growing private nutritionist practice and a book deal, and Eric's once-thriving career has hit a slump. When he simply does not come home one night, Eve is forced to shift her family in possibly irreparable ways and to realize that competence in one area of life doesn't always keep things from unraveling in another.
