Autor Hunter Bidenen Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 mai 2022
"I come from a family forged by tragedies and bound by a remarkable, unbreakable love," Hunter Biden writes in this deeply moving and "unflinchingly honest" (Entertainment Weekly) memoir of addiction, loss, and survival.
When he was two years old, Hunter Biden was badly injured in a car accident that killed his mother and baby sister. In 2015, he suffered the devastating loss of his beloved big brother, Beau, who died of brain cancer at the age of forty-six. These hardships were compounded by the collapse of his marriage and a years-long battle with drug and alcohol addiction.
In Beautiful Things?"an astonishingly candid and brave book about loss, human frailty, wayward souls, and hard-fought redemption" (Dave Eggers, New York Times bestselling author)?Hunter recounts his descent into substance abuse and his tortuous path to sobriety. The story ends with where Hunter is today?a sober married man with a new baby, finally able to appreciate the beautiful things in life.

Recenzii
'A beautiful book by Biden. It is a sharply written account of what it is like to be at the same time enormously privileged and utterly wretched.'
'Beautiful Things is so concise, so unflinching and propulsive, that outside of turning the pages and occasionally picking my jaw off the ground, I didn’t move between the first page and the last.'
'Hunter writes honestly and with courage about the collapse of his marriage, hurting his father, squandering cash and going on a “crack-fuelled, cross-country odyssey."'
'With disarming humility, Hunter’s unflinching account lays bare both the sustaining power and hard limits of love and family.'
'Mesmerising. A sizzling mess of grief, addiction, self-justification and misdirection. It’s admirable – and also abominable.’
'Hunter Biden writes beautifully of almost unsurvivable loss, and the amazing grace of family love. He writes of his savage alcoholism and addiction with rare honesty, of his recovery with stunned gratitude, of broken hearts, resurrection, beautiful things.’
‘Devastating loss, an all-consuming crack addiction and what he really thinks of his father Joe – Hunter Biden doesn’t hold back.’
'Biden transforms the Hollywood hills into a gothic wilderness, a suburb of hell where coyotes howl and nocturnal birds screech maledictions.’
‘A moving addiction memoir in its reflections on pain and grief, both poignant and sad.’
