Produktbeschreibung
"A hilarious family tale" about a modern-day mother's lifestyle crisis-and her outlandish attempts to get her family back ( Woman's Day). Lydia Modine is sixty-one and about to come undone. Her three grown-up children have flown the coop. She hasn't seen them together in more than a year, and now her ex-husband is about to marry a woman half his age. And the insults keep coming: Lydia is stuck on a book she's writing about Detroit's car industry, which uncannily parallels her own life-out with the old model, in with the new. She's poured her soul into her family, only to be abandoned in the City of Dream Machines. But then a twist of fate introduces her to Norm, an eco-car fanatic out to remake her and the world. A "smart and funny" novel that's sure to appeal to anyone who has longed for an alternate life, Drives Like a Dream confirms that sometimes when you set out for a spin, the twists and turns can be perfectly rewarding-and right ( Chicago Tribune). "A beautiful novel." - The Washington Post

Autorenporträt
Porter Shreve was born during the Lyndon B. Johnson administration, and grew up in Washington, DC. In the 1970s his family started an alternative school called Our House Is a Very, Very, Very Fine House, on which some of Shreve's When the White House Was Ours is loosely based. His first novel, The Obituary Writer, was a New York Times Notable Book, and his second, Drives Like a Dream, was a Chicago Tribune Book of the Year.
