Présentation Young Jane Young de Gabrielle Zevin Format Broché

Résumé : Twenty-year-old Aviva Grossman makes the life-changing mistake of having an affair with her boss - who is beloved, successful, married and a high profile figure in politics - and blogging about it. When the affair comes to light, the Congressman doesn't take the fall, but Aviva does. She becomes a late-night talk show punchline; she is slut-shamed, labelled as fat and ugly, and considered a blight on politics in general. How does one go on after this? Aviva sees no way out but to become Jane Young and move to a remote town in Maine. She starts over as a wedding planner, tries to be smarter about her life, and to raise her daughter to be strong and confident. But when, at the urging of others, she decides to run for public office herself, that long-ago mistake trails her via the Internet like a scarlet A. Google guarantees that the past is never, ever, truly past, that everything you've done will live on for everyone to know about for all eternity. And it's only a matter of time until Aviva/Jane's daughter, Ruby, finds out who her mother was, and is, and must decide whether she can still respect her. Praise for The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry 'This wonderful, funny, uplifting homage to bookshops is an absolute treat. I've bought it for everyone I know' Huffington Post Delightful! I read [it] in one sitting' Eowyn Ivey
Biographie:
Gabrielle Zevin was raised by parents who took her to the library like it was church. She suspects that is why she became a writer. Her career began at age fourteen when an angry letter to her local newspaper about a Guns 'n' Roses concert resulted in a job as a music critic. Over eight novels for adults and young people, she has written about female soldiers in Iraq, mafia princesses in retro-future New York City, teenage girls in the afterlife, talking dogs, amnesiacs, and the difficulties of loving one person over many years. Her last novel, The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry, was a New York Times bestseller.
