Funny, sad, and at times, achingly true, the cannily titled Us offers its readers a journey worth taking. As with many of the best-laid plans, things go awry, but throughout the journey Douglas compensates with his powerful optimism. The plan is to give the family one last time to bond over shared experiences, or, with luck, to save the marriage. Hostage Taker: A Novel by Stefanie Pintoff (August 18,2015) : Amazon.es: Libros. Before anything irreversible happens, however, Douglas arranges a month-long European tour for all three. Initially attracted to Douglas’ steadiness and calm, she has begun to feel restless in their marriage and is considering leaving her husband once their 17 year-old son, Albie, leaves for university. Connie, his wife of almost 30 years, is a still-beautiful artist. He is rich in quiet virtues: sincerity, honesty, and a muted but ever-present sense of self-deprecation. Douglas Petersen, husband and father, is a scientist who approaches life rationally. Is divorce a sign of failure or is it a necessary step in some marriages? This is the question raised and haltingly answered in the latest novel from David Nicholls, the bestselling author of One Day.
