"Trophy House" is an extraordinary and complex novel, at one level
a romantic thriller, at another a deeply satisfying story about the
disintegration of a marriage and the consequences for all concerned
-- that rare piece of fiction that is at once thrilling, grown-up
and completely believable.
It begins with the construction of a totally inappropriate and
enormous house -- a "trophy house" -- which unexpectedly comes to
threaten the tranquillity of what appears to be one woman's perfect
life and marriage. Dannie Faber has lots of reasons to feel
blessed. A children's book illustrator, she shares a loving
marriage with Tom, an M.I.T. professor, with whom she divides her
time between one of Boston's finest suburbs and a beloved beach
house in Truro, on Cape Cod. And then, for reasons she could not
possibly have foreseen, Dannie's life begins to unravel.
With "Trophy House, " Anne Bernays -- author of "Professor
Romeo" and "Growing Up Rich --" delivers a poignant, funny, and
ultimately wrenching story of adults in peril and the unlikely hope
for romance that, in the end, becomes the key to surviving events
that are beyond their control. It is a brilliant and moving
portrait of a marriage.
