Heather, The Totality

The Breakstone family arrange themselves around their daughter Heather, and the world seems to follow: beautiful, compassionate, entrancing, she is the greatest blessing in their lives of Manhattan luxury. But as Heather grows-and her empathy sharpens to a point, and her radiance attracts more and more dark interest-their perfect existence starts to fracture. Meanwhile a very different life, one raised in poverty and in violence, is beginning its own malign orbit around Heather.

Matthew Weiner-the creator of Mad Men-has crafted an extraordinary first novel of incredible pull and menace. Heather, The Totality demonstrates perfectly his forensic eye for the human qualities that hold modern society together, and pull it apart.

Familia Breakstone se aranjeaza in jurul fiicei lor Heather, iar lumea pare sa urmeze: frumoasa, plina de compasiune, incantatoare, ea este cea mai mare binecuvantare din viata lor de lux din Manhattan. Dar pe masura ce Heather creste - si empatia ei se accentueaza la un punct, iar stralucirea ei atrage tot mai mult interes intunecat - existenta lor perfecta incepe sa se fractureze.
