📗 Libro en inglés CAMBRIDGE

""It was probably because I was so often taken away from Cambridge when I was young that I loved it as much as I did . . ." " London, Florence, Athens: Susanna, a precocious young girl growing up in 1950s Cambridge," " would rather be home than in any of these places. Uprooted from the streets around Harvard Square, she feels lost and excluded in all the far-flung cities to which her father's career takes the family. She always comes home with relief--but soon enough wonders if outsiderness may be her permanent condition. Written with a sharp eye for the pretensions--and charms--of the intellectual classes, "Cambridge" captures the mores of an era now past, the ordinary lives of extraordinary people in a singular part of America, and the ways we can--and cannot--go home.
