The collapse of her brief marriage has stalled Bea Nightingale's
life, leaving her middle-aged and alone, teaching in an
impoverished borough of 1950s New York. A plea from her estranged
brother gives Bea the excuse to escape lassitude by leaving for
Paris to retrieve a nephew she barely knows; but the siren call of
Europe threatens to deafen Bea to the dangers of entangling herself
in the lives of her brother's family. By one of America's great
living writers, Foreign Bodies is a truly virtuosic novel. The
story of Bea's travails on the continent is a fierce and
heartbreaking insight into the curious nature of love: how it can
be commanded and abused; earned and cherished; or even lost
altogether.
