"For more than thirty years, Edie and Richard Middlestein shared a solid family life in the suburbs of Chicago. But now things are splintering apart. Edie is obsessed with food - and if she doesn't stop, she won't have much longer to live. When Richard abandons his wife, it's up to the next generation to take control. Robin, their schoolteacher daughter, is determined that her father pay for leaving Edie. Benny, an easy-going family man, just wants to smooth things over. And his wife Rachelle, a whippet-thin perfectionist, is intent on saving her mother-in-law's life. Through it all, they wonder: do Edie's devastating choices rest on her shoulders alone, or are others at fault, too?"
"Edie and Richard have been married for over 30 years, living in the Chicago suburbs. Everyone who knew them - even their own children Robin and Benny - agreed that Edie was a tough woman to love, but no-one expected Richard to walk out on her, especially not in her condition. Edie is 59 years old, she weighs 300 pounds, and her doctors have told her she'll die if she doesn't stop eating. As Richard is shut out by the family and seeks solace in the world of internet dating, Robin is dragged back from the city and forced to rebuild a relationship with her mother. Meanwhile Benny and his neurotic."@en
"Über dreißig Jahre lang haben Edie und Richard Middlestein ein ganz normales Familienleben in einem Vorort von Chicago geführt. Auf einmal drohen die Dinge auseinanderzubrechen, nicht ganz unschuldig daran ist Edies enormer Umfang. Essen ist für sie eine Sucht - und wenn sich das nicht ändert, hat sie nicht mehr lange zu leben. Als Richard ihren Eigensinn nicht mehr aushält und Edie verlässt, machen ihre Tochter Robin, ihr Sohn Benny und dessen Frau Rachelle es sich zur Aufgabe, Edie zu retten. Doch statt bei dieser heiklen Aufgabe an einem Strang zu ziehen, stehen sich alle gegenseitig im Weg. Und so steuert diese aberwitzige Familiengeschichte unerbittlich auf die spektakuläre Bar-Mizwa-Party der Zwillingsenkel zu, die ein Fiasko zu werden droht. (Quelle: www.buchhandel.de)."
