LOCAL>> Diane Johnson – Lorna Mott Comes Home

at Unknown

A comedy of contemporary manners, morals, (ex)marriages, & motherhood, about an American woman leaving her 20-year marriage to her French second husband, returning to her native San Francisco...

In Lorna Mott Comes Home, Diane Johnson brings us into the dreamy, anxiety-filled American world of Lorna Mott Dumas, where much has changed and where she struggles to create a new life to support herself.

Into the mix—her ex-husband, and the father of her three grown children (all supportive), and grandchildren with their own troubles (money, divorce, real estate, living on the fringe; a thriving software enterprise; a missing child in the far east; grandchildren—new hostages to fortune; and, one, 15 years old, a golden girl yet always different, diagnosed at a young age with diabetes, and now pregnant and determined to have the child) . . .

 

Diane Johnson is a best-selling author and two-time finalist for the National Book Award. She lives in Paris and San Francisco.

Luisa Smith is the Buying Director of Book Passage, where she has worked for over 25 years, and Editor in Chief of Scarlet, an imprint of Mysterious Press.
