The co-host of ESPN’s Mike and Mike follows up his New York Times bestseller All You Could Ask For with this poignant story of one man’s search to understand himself, his marriage, and his father. Jonathan Sweetwater has been blessed with money, a fulfilling career, great kids and Claire, his smart, gorgeous, sophisticated wife. But there is one thing Jonathan never had: a relationship with his father. Percival Sweetwater III has been absent from his son’s life since Jonathan was nine years old. A five-term U.S. senator, now dead, Percy was beloved by presidents, his constituents, and women alike, especially the five women who married him after Jonathan’s mother. Jonathan hasn’t thought about Percy or the hole he left in his life for years. Dedicated to Claire and his family, he’s nothing like his serial monogamist father. But then Jonathan discovers evidence that everything in his marriage may not be as perfect as he thought. Hurt and uncertain what to do, he knows that the only way to move forward is to go back. On this quest for understanding—about himself, about manhood, about marriage—Jonathan decides to track down his father’s five ex-wives. His journey will take him from cosmopolitan cities to the mile-high mountains to a tropical island—and ultimately back to confront the one thing Jonathan has that his father never did: home.

"Celebrated Angolan musician Faustino Manso has just died, leaving seven wives and eighteen children scattered across southern Africa. His youngest daughter, Laurentina, arrives in Angola from her home in Portugal to trace the story of the father she never knew." "My Father's Wives is the story of Laurentina's journey, but this fiction also runs in parallel with Jose Eduardo Agualusa's story of the novel's genesis, as writer and characters travel the southern African coast, from Angola, through Namibia and South Africa, to Mozambique, meeting extraordinary people and discovering Faustino's secrets along the way." "This novel heralds the rebirth of Africa, a continent afflicted by terrible problems but blessed with a talent for music, by the ever-renewed strength of its women and the secret power of ancient gods."--BOOK JACKET.

These moving and bittersweet stories are brought to life by Dabek's eye for the perfect, elucidating detail. Alison Bechdel, author of Fun Home Nina Dabek's scintillating, insightful stories live at the intersection of funny and sad. Brilliantly depicting moments in the life of one worried, loving woman, they remind us that ordinary life is never ordinary, and is also more dangerous than we might think. Still, with the right partner-a woman as loving as she is, but calmer-and two always-surprising daughters, happiness may be saved. I loved reading this book and did not want it to end. Alice Mattison, author of Conscience I loved this book. Nina Dabek sketches domestic life so delicately and in such a disarmingly frank way. Plus, her perfect deadpan humor kills me. Nostalgia, grief, gratitude, devotion, it's all here-all the beauty and difficulty of living in the world. Catherine Newman, author of Catastrophic Happiness My Father's Wife and My Daughter's Emu is a touching and nuanced portrait of a woman's passage from the delusions of childhood to the revelations and burdens of adulthood. Nina Dabek is a wise, subtle writer, and her debut collection is impressive. Lynne Sharon Schwartz, author of Truthtelling The middle of three sisters, Naomi grows up in late 20th century New York, a city as rich in opportunity as it is fraught with hidden hazards. Not the least of these spring from the minefields of family life. Just as Naomi comes into her own, history enters to reframe the narrative. Dabek is a writer of considerable clarity and grace. The story she tells, in propulsive prose, is affirming, yes, and utterly contemporary, but it's not without shadows giving the whole a Chekhovian richness and depth. Askold Melnyczuk, author of The Man Who Would Not Bow -- In the first half of this psychological and subtly humorous collection of linked short stories we meet the child and adolescent Naomi, who lives in the Bronx with her two sisters and her parents. Naomi not only grapples with the complexity of her relationships, her family's mysteries, and the world around her, but also finds her way to her lesbian identity. In the second half, the adult Naomi experiences the challenges and pleasures of lesbian motherhood, while continuing to untangle her father's past and present and her complicated love for him. My Father's Wife and My Daughter's Emu by Nina Dabek follows the trajectory of one lesbian's life - from childhood to motherhood - as she makes sense of the world.

The bridging together of different backgrounds threw this family into a step-family spin. Was it because people thought Ms. Ery came from the other side of the tracks? Normalizing relationships-How many times have I heard this phrase? What good does it do to talk about it? Well, in the case of blended families, it would depend on genuine intentions and who is attempting to go through those road blocks, unscathed. With respect to Ms. Ery, I would venture to say that although her previous experience would drive anyone nuts, she has prevailed, and her attitude can be used as a living testimony, that perseverance, if used wisely, can be a determining tool in a person's constant search for a normal relationship. I pray that those who read this book, will walk away with a different perspective on life, especially ones who are currently involved in a similar dilemma.

A powerful, intimate memoir of Eritrean-British journalist, Hannah Azieb-Pool, who returns to Eritrea at the age of 30 to meet her family for the first time. 'What a story. So vivid, honest and moving' Andrea Levy, author of Small Island 'When I stepped off the plane in Asmara, I had no idea what lay ahead, or how those events would change me . . .' In her twenties, Hannah-Azieb Pool is given a letter that unravels everything she knows about her life. She knew she was adopted from an orphanage in Eritrea, and as her adoptive family brought her to the UK, they believed she did not have any surviving relatives. When she discovers the truth in a letter from her brother - that her birth father is alive and her Eritrean family are desperate to meet her - she is faced with a critical choice. Should she go? In this intimate memoir, she takes us with her on an extraordinary journey of self-discovery, as she travels to Eritrea to uncover her own story. With radiant warmth, courage and wisdom, Hannah-Azieb disentangles the charged concepts of identity, family and home. Featuring a new introduction from Bernardine Evaristo and an updated afterword from the author, this is a timeless, essential read. 'Remarkable' Observer Selected by Booker Prize-winning author Bernardine Evaristo, this series rediscovers and celebrates pioneering books from black Britain and the diaspora, which remap the nation and reframe our history.
