Expectation

A contemporary feminist take on the pursuit of happiness: three women think they can have it all. Until they realise that even having some of it can be a challenge.

Love, children, career – modern women are expected to have all three. But what must they sacrifice to win any of them, and how much heartache must be endured? Three life-long friends are about to find out.

Can Hannah, a successful career woman with a caring husband have the baby she longs for?

Will Cate, a thoughtful, loving wife and mother ever recover her intellectual life and independence?

Lissa is charismatic, beautiful and unconventional. She chose a life of fulfilment in the theatre over settled domesticity – but will it ever really materialise?

Anna Hope’s fierce and compelling novel of friendship and the pressure to succeed as a woman takes three lives and asks, what does it really take to make us happy?

O feminista contemporana isi asuma cautarea fericirii: trei femei cred ca pot avea totul. Pana cand isi dau seama ca chiar si a avea o parte din aceasta poate fi o provocare. Iubirea, copiii, cariera - femeile moderne sunt de asteptat sa aiba toate cele trei.
