The captivating saga of the Whiteoak family continues, with more rivalries, tangled relationships, and secret love affairs.

Henry, un uomo di oltre sessant'anni, vive sulla barca di amici e ha avuto un'esistenza segnata dalla sfortuna e dalla crudeltà femminile. Nonostante la sua solitudine e le difficoltà economiche, conserva un certo fascino. Daisy, una drammaturga di successo, ha anch'essa superato i sessant'anni e vive in un cottage di campagna, riflettendo sul vuoto affettivo che nessun uomo potrà più colmare, pur desiderando ancora di essere amata. Quando Henry si offre come giardiniere, Daisy inizialmente è scettica, ma la sua necessità di affetto la porta ad accoglierlo nella sua vita. La tensione sessuale tra i due cresce lentamente, tanto che Daisy perde di vista la vera natura di Henry, ignorando gli avvertimenti di amici e figlia, che esprimono preoccupazione. In questo romanzo, l'autrice della saga dei Cazalet condivide una tragica esperienza personale, rivelandosi con sincerità e umiltà. "Perdersi" è un ritratto di un plagio psicologico e un profondo scavo nella mente malata, offrendo una testimonianza preziosa e confermando il suo straordinario talento narrativo.

The Whiteoak family, of English descent, resides at Jalna, a large estate in Ontario named after the Indian city where the founders, Captain Philip Whiteoak and his wife Adeline, first met. Much time has passed since that fateful encounter. Now, in the 1920s, the indomitable Adeline, a grandmother and widow, holds the family together as she eagerly anticipates celebrating her hundredth birthday with her children and grandchildren. Among them is young Wakefield, clever and mischievous, always scheming to avoid studying and snatch slices of cake, and Renny, the charming head of the family who conceals a sensitive soul. Life at Jalna flows peacefully until two new daughters-in-law disrupt the balance: the young Pheasant, the illegitimate daughter of a neighbor, whose arrival is seen as an affront, and the delightful Alayne, a career-driven American whose grace enchants everyone, especially the men in the household. With light, elegant prose and a delightful ironic perspective, Mazo de la Roche tells the story of three generations set against the beauty of the Canadian landscape and the tranquility of unspoiled nature.
