Lorna Mott Dumas, small, pretty, high-strung, is the epitome of a successful woman—with lovely offspring and grandchildren, a French husband, a delightful house, and an independent career as an admired art lecturer. She has both an uncomplicated, sociable nature and an intellectual life. But then Lorna decides to leave her husband, a notorious seducer, and his small ancestral village in France, and return to an America she has been away from for twenty years. For Lorna, a beautiful idyll is over, finished, done ...
In Lorna Mott Comes Home, Diane Johnson brings us into the dreamy, anxiety-filled world of a woman struggling to create a new life in San Francisco. Into the mix come her ex-husband, her three grown children, and her grandchildren, all with their own dramatic troubles, navigating a tumultuous mix of comedy and tragedy, happiness and anxiety, contentment and striving, generosity and greed, love and sex. In this witty and poignant novel, Johnson—long our Edith Wharton of expat life—comes home to America to deftly portray, with the lightest of touches, the way we live here, now.
