描述
It's 1980s New York. Heady, excessive times. Alice Burns - a young book editor - is deep into a manuscript about the morass of family life. The observations resonate, perhaps because she has just watched her own family implode. As she reads she wonders : When did the sadness start ? And could it be that unhappiness is a choice ? Thus begins a great American epic which follows Alice as she navigates high school bullying, first love and sexism at an elite college, a spell in 1970s Ireland, and a tragedy that sends her stateside as the US embraces a cowboy actor named Reagan. But it is also the tale of her endlessly complex parents and brothers ; how their destinies are written by the lies they tell themselves and others. The Great Wide Open is an immensely ambitious and compulsive saga ; a novel which will speak volumes to anyone who has marvelled at that pain that can only be caused by family itself.

'Accomplished...a strangely mesmerising effect...absolutely excellent'
New Statesman
New York, 1980s
Alice Burns – a young book editor – is deep into a manuscript about the morass of family life. The observations within resonate, perhaps, because she has just watched her own family implode.
As she reads she wonders: When did the sadness start? And could it be that unhappiness is a choice?
Thus begins a great American epic which follows Alice as she navigates high school, first love and sexism at an elite college, a spell in 1970s Ireland, and a tragedy that sends her stateside as the US embraces a cowboy actor named Reagan.
But it is also the tale of her endlessly complex parents and brothers – how their destinies are written by the lies they tell themselves and others.
The Great Wide Open is an immensely ambitious and compulsive saga; a novel which will speak volumes to anyone who has marvelled at that pain that can only be caused by family itself.
备用描述
Its 1961. The Burns family is celebrating yet another disastrous Thanksgiving and a 17 year-old Alice cant take it anymore.
After years spent chasing the affections of the people who are supposed to love her unconditionally, Alice is beginning to realise that, though you cant choose your family, you can choose your future, and Alice sees her future far away from her dysfunctional family and the doldrums of small-town life.
As she embarks on a journey that will take her through college, heartbreak, and self-discovery, Alice must learn to stand on her own two feet in the great wide open
But no matter how much distance she covers, the past is never far behind.
And after years of running, Alice must stand and face the truth.
Because sometimes, to move forward, we have to go back
