Description

Living the Dream by Isabelle Dupuy is a powerful exploration of identity, love and the complexities of family life. When Naomi Barnes, a mixed-race woman from Colombia, marries into a wealthy London family, she finds herself struggling to maintain her sense of self in the face of changing expectations. As Naomi's husband Tom becomes increasingly consumed by his career ambitions, their marriage begins to fray. Meanwhile, Naomi forms a deep bond with Solange Wolf, a fellow immigrant who has built a life of success and resilience from humble beginnings. But when Solange's world is turned upside down, Naomi is forced to confront her own doubts and desires. This moving novel is a thought-provoking exploration of the challenges faced by women in modern Britain, where the pursuit of happiness can sometimes come at a steep price.
