Same As It Ever Was showcases the consummate style, signature wit, and profound emotional intelligence that made The Most Fun We Ever Had one of the most beloved novels of the past decade. Featuring a memorably messy family and the multifaceted marriage at its heart, Lombardo’s debut was dubbed “the literary love child of Jonathan Franzen and Anne Tyler” (The Guardian) and hailed as “ambitious and brilliantly written” (Washington Post). In this remarkable follow-up—another elegant and tumultuous story in the tradition of Elizabeth Strout, Ann Patchett, and Celeste Ng—Lombardo introduces us to an unforgettable cast of characters, this time by way of her singularly complicated protagonist. Julia Ames, after a youth marked by upheaval and emotional turbulence, has found herself on the placid plateau of mid-life. But Julia has never navigated the world with the equanimity of her current privileged class. Having nearly derailed herself several times, making desperate bids for the kind of connection that always felt inaccessible to her, she finally feels, at age fifty seven, that she has a firm handle on things. She’s unprepared, though, for what comes next: a surprise announcement from her straight-arrow son, an impending separation from her spikey teenaged daughter, and a seductive resurgence of the past, all of which threaten to draw her back into the patterns that had previously kept her on a razor’s edge. Same As It Ever Was traverses the rocky terrain of real life, —exploring new avenues of maternal ambivalence, intergenerational friendship, and the happenstantial cause-and-effect that governs us all. Delving even deeper into the nature of relationships—how they grow, change, and sometimes end—Lombardo proves herself a true and definitive cartographer of the human heart and asserts herself among the finest novelists of her generation.\"}},\"employee\":{\"typeDef\":{\"type\":\"affiliateEmployee\"},\"value\":203888,\"changedValue\":{}},\"employeeImage\":{\"typeDef\":{\"type\":\"image\"},\"value\":\"fb2f72fc2f335e65\",\"changedValue\":{}},\"showOnArticleDetailPage\":{\"typeDef\":{\"type\":\"boolean\"},\"value\":true,\"changedValue\":{}}}}"},{"cmsModuleType":"EMPLOYEE_RECOMMENDATIONS_SINGLE","moduleType":"mod_employee_recommendation_single","modifiedAt":"2024-09-04 09:42:15","moduleId":372279,"content":"{\"attributes\":{\"text\":{\"typeDef\":{\"type\":\"text\"},\"value\":\"El Salvador.

Javier is nine years old when his parents, who are still making an illegal living, want to bring him to the USA with the help of smugglers - an adventure for the boy, who is looking forward to two exciting weeks ( that's how long the journey is supposed to last ), to reunite with his parents in the land of big dreams and Big Macs.
What Javier experiences on this ultimately seven-week odyssey he tells in his recently published memoirs \\\"Solito\\\", translated by Ulrike Wasel and Klaus Timmermann.

William Waters grew up in a house silenced by tragedy, where his parents could hardly bear to look at him, much less love him. So, when he meets the spirited and ambitious Julia Padavano, it's as if the world has lit up around him. With Julia comes her family: Sylvie, the family's dreamer, is happiest with her nose in a book; Cecelia is a free-spirited artist; and Emeline patiently takes care of them all.

A sweeping, tenderhearted love story, Beyond That, the Sea by Laura Spence-Ash tells the story of two families living through World War II on opposite sides of the Atlantic Ocean, and the shy, irresistible young woman who will call them both her own.
As German bombs fall over London in 1940, working-class parents Millie and Reginald Thompson make an impossible choice: they decide to send their eleven-year-old daughter, Beatrix, to America. There, she'll live with another family for the duration of the war, where they hope she'll stay safe.
Scared and angry, feeling lonely and displaced, Bea arrives in Boston to meet the Gregorys. Mr. and Mrs. G, and their sons William and Gerald, fold Bea seamlessly into their world. She becomes part of this lively family, learning their ways and their stories, adjusting to their affluent lifestyle. Bea grows close to both boys, one older and one younger, and fills in the gap between them. Before long, before she even realizes it, life with the Gregorys feels more natural to her than the quiet, spare life with her own parents back in England.
As Bea comes into herself and relaxes into her new life-summers on the coast in Maine, new friends clamoring to hear about life across the sea-the girl she had been begins to fade away, until, abruptly, she is called home to London when the war ends.
Desperate as she is not to leave this life behind, Bea dutifully retraces her trip across the Atlantic back to her new, old world. As she returns to post-war London, the memory of her American family stays with her, never fully letting her go, and always pulling on her heart as she tries to move on and pursue love and a life of her own.
As we follow Bea over time, navigating between her two worlds, Beyond That, the Sea emerges as a beautifully written, absorbing novel, full of grace and heartache, forgiveness and understanding, loss and love.\"}},\"employeeImage\":{\"typeDef\":{\"type\":\"image\"},\"value\":\"fb2f72fc2f335e65\",\"changedValue\":{}},\"showOnArticleDetailPage\":{\"typeDef\":{\"type\":\"boolean\"},\"value\":true,\"changedValue\":{}}}}"},{"cmsModuleType":"EMPLOYEE_RECOMMENDATIONS_SINGLE","moduleType":"mod_employee_recommendation_single","modifiedAt":"2024-08-28 14:38:07","moduleId":371790,"content":"{\"attributes\":{\"text\":{\"typeDef\":{\"type\":\"text\"},\"value\":\"Perfect summer read!
