| Opplysninger | What if - whoosh, right now, with no explanation - a number of us simply vanished? Would some of us think it was the Rapture? Would some of us fall apart? Would others go on just as we did before the world turned upside down? That's what the confused citizens of tydi suburban Mapleton have to figure out. Kevin Garvey wants to speed up the healing process, even as his own family has atomized in the wake of what's become known as the Sudden Departure : Kevin's wife, Laurie, has left to join a homegrown cult, the Guilty Remnant; his son Tom is gone, too, dropped out of college to follow a shady "prophet" named Holy Wayne and join his Healing Hug movement. Only Kevin's teenaged daughter Jill is still with him, opaque and drifting since October 14th. Kevin yerans to connect with her, even as he is distracted by a new relationship with Nora Durst, the saddest woman in Mapleton, trying to cope with the disappearance of her entire family. With heart, intelligence, and a rare ability to illuminate the struggles of ordinary people, Tom Perrotta has written a startling, thought-provoking novel about love, loss, and connection.
