State of the Union

From the New York Times bestselling author of Leaving the World comes thecompelling story of a woman whose one choice, made decades ago, comes back to haunt her. America in the1960s was an era of radical upheaval'of civil rights protests and anti-war marches; of sexual liberation and hallucinogenic drugs. More tellingly, it was a time when you weren't supposed to trust anyone over the age of thirty; when, if you were young, you rebelled against your parents and their conservative values. But not Hannah Buchan. Hannah is a great disappointment to her famous radical father and painter mother. Instead of mounting the barricades and embracing this age of profound social change, she wants nothing more than to marry her doctor boyfriend and raise a family in a small town. Hannah gets her wish. But once installed as the doctor's wife in a nowhere corner of Maine, boredom sets in... until an unforeseen moment of personal rebellion changes everything. Especially as Hannah is forced into breaking the law. For decades, this one transgression in an otherwise faultless life remains buried. But then, in the charged atmosphere of America after 9/11, her secret comes out and her life goes into freefall.

  • "Hannah Buchan has no interest in the rebellion, sexual liberation, and drugs that seem to define the 1960s, wanting only to marry her true love and become a doctor's wife, a wish that is finally fulfilled but soon threatened by an unexpected act of rebellion that changes Hannah's life forever."@en

  • "Es beginnt als Verwirrung der Gefühle, einen Moment lang fühlt es sich an wie Liebe und lässt Hannah Buchan tief verletzt zurück. Doch erst dreissig Jahre später wird ihr die Begegnung mit Tobias Judson zum Verhängnis. Als dieser öffentlich macht, was damals in jener Nacht geschah, bleibt in Hannahs Leben nichts mehr, wie es war ... Hannah lebt mit ihrer Familie abgeschieden irgendwo in Maine und ist deshalb froh, Tobias Judson, einen Freund ihrer Familie, bei sich aufzunehmen. Da ihr Mann Dan seinen kranken Vater besucht, sind Hannah und Tobias allein, und es fällt dem charismatischen, politisch aktiven und dadurch sehr geheimnisvollen Mann nicht schwer, Hannahs Herz zu erobern. Hannah gibt der Versuchung nach, lässt sich verführen und erlebt Momente unendlichen Glücks. Doch Tobias hat andere Pläne, nutzt Hannahs Schwäche, um ein böses Spiel mit ihr zu treiben ... Dreissig Jahre lang gelingt es Hannah, zu vergessen, wie sehr sie damals verletzt wurde. Als Tobias in einem Buch öffentlich macht, was ihn mit Hannah verbindet, ahnt sie, dass sie ihr Geheimnis nicht länger hüten kann.
