But little by little, she is drawn into the lives of those around her; her mother and her circle of feisty widows, her young neighbour, with two small children and a loud, angry husband; and the diabolical pubescent girls in her poetry class. By the end of the summer without men, wiser though definitely not sadder, Mia knows what she wants to fight for and on whose terms.</p><p>Provocative, mordant, and fiercely intelligent, <em>The Summer Without Men</em> is a gloriously vivacious tragi-comedy about women and girls, love and marriage, and the age-old war between the sexes - a novel for our times by one of the most acclaimed American writers.</p>9781444710557_Hodder & Stoughtonlibro_electonico_24792aa1-551e-4d3a-b758-682072b9b865_9781444710557;9781444710557_9781444710557Siri HustvedtInglésMéxicohttps://getbook.kobo.com/koboid-prod-public/hachetteuk-epub-3bce7236-ded6-4fca-b077-5d7b7297d7f9.epub2011-03-03T00:00:00+00:00Hodder & Stoughton
