- Synopsis
- To the rest of the world Polly Solo-Miller Demarest lives a charmed life. She has a beautiful home, a dashing lawyer husband, and two delightful children. But beneath this idyllic surface, the pressure of being the &“perfect flower&” of an illustrious family—and a stable, always-available wife, mother, and daughter––are getting to her. The spark has gone out of her marriage, and to her own surprise, she's having an affair. What follows is at once cathartic and incredibly tense, and both may be necessary ingredients for Polly to grow into the kind of person she's happy to be. Kind yet candid, as all of Laurie Colwin's books are, Family Happiness is a heartfelt novel about a midlife crisis and a woman tired of being taken for granted––and a reminder that family, like happiness, can take many forms.
