Días de luz y esplendor

After decades together, Russell and Corrine Calloway would like to have a calm and stable family life, something that seems impossible to achieve in New York after the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers. They dream of being able to raise their children closer to the countryside, but their financial situation does not allow it. In a risky attempt to refloat his publishing house, Russell will hire a book that will be his salvation or his undoing, while the reappearance of a friend of Corrine's will question the solidity of their relationship. Days of Light and Splendor is an addictive novel that immerses us fully in the Manhattan of the early 21st, with the election of Obama and the global economic collapse as a backdrop. In it McInerney again follows in the footsteps of Russell and Corrine to delve into the challenges of love and marriage and, like a Fitzgerald of our time, draw a superb portrait of the lights and shadows of the American dream. A brilliant conclusion to his trilogy of novels dedicated to the Calloways.
