Reseña del libro "Cheer up, mr. Widdicombe [Idioma Inglés] (en Inglés)"

Named one of 2019&;s most anticipated reads by Entertainment Weekly, &;a hilarious and witty joy of a novel about a family&;s insanely dramatic summer at their new island home&; (Cosmopolitan) in the Pacific Northwest. The inimitable&;some might say incorrigible&;Frank Widdicombe is suffering from a deep depression. Or so his wife, Carol, believes. But Carol is convinced that their new island home&;Willowbrook Manor on the Puget Sound&;is just the thing to cheer him up. And so begins a whirlwind summer as their house becomes the epicenter of multiple social dramas involving the family, their friends, and a host of new acquaintances. The Widdicombes&; son, Christopher, is mourning a heartbreak after a year abroad in Italy. Their personal assistant, Michelle, begins a romance with preppy screenwriter Bradford, who also happens to be Frank&;s tennis partner. Meanwhile, a local named Marvelous Matthews is hired to create a garden at the manor&;and is elated to find Gracie Sloane, bewitching self-help author, in residence as well. When this alternately bumbling and clever cast of characters comes together, they turn &;as frothy and bitter as a pot of freshly brewed dark-roast coffee, the kind that&;s always available on the Widdicombe&;s sideboard. And the dialogue, oh how it singes and sears&; (The Washington Post). A &;gleefully over-the-top satiric debut&; (Kirkus Reviews), Cheer Up, Mr. Widdicombe is perfect for fans of Maria Semple&;s Where&;d You Go, Bernadette?, Andrew Sean Greer&;s Less, and Jess Walter&;s Beautiful Ruins.
