Summary
Lauren Elkin: Scaffolding
The acclaimed author's debut novel tells the story of Paris, longing, love, psychoanalysis and stormy relationships between two couples.
Two couples, fifty years apart, face the challenges of marriage, fidelity and parenthood in the same, small space, but in different times – times of political turmoil and intellectual conflicts. Lauren Elkin's novel, in the spirit of Eric Romero, talks about the way our homes store memories and stories, about the relationships we build and the difficulties of breaking them completely, about how all the people we loved continue to live in us.
