Everything You Know
Autor Zoë Helleren Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 mai 2009
The women in Willy Muller's life are trouble.
His mother insists he eat tofu. His dopey girlfriend, Penny, wants him to overcome his personal space issues - while Karen, his other, even dopier, girlfriend, just wants more sex. Meanwhile, his oldest daughter, Sophie, wants him to finance her husband's drug habit.
But it's his youngest daughter, Sadie, who's giving him the biggest headache. Just before committing suicide three months ago, she sent Willy her diaries. Poring over the record of her empty life, he feels pangs of something unexpected . . . remorse. But isn't it a bit late for such sentimental guff?
Set in London, Hollywood and Mexico,Everything You Knowis a supremely witty take on love, death and the age-old battle of the sexes.
