520    From the author of the best-selling  Le Divorce  and  Le 
       Mariage , a comedy of contemporary manners, morals, 
       (ex)marriages, and motherhood (past, present, and 
       future)—about an American woman leaving her 20-year 
       marriage to her French second husband, returning to her 
       native San Francisco and to the entwining lives of her 
       children and grandchildren. “Delightful”—Claire Messud ( 
       Harper’s Magazine ); “Razor-sharp prose and astute 
       observations … a treat”— Publishers Weekly  (starred 
       review).  Lorna Mott Dumas, small, pretty, high-strung, 
       the epitome of a successful woman—lovely offspring, 
       grandchildren, health, a French husband, a delightful 
       house and an independent career as an admired art lecturer
       involving travel and public appearances, expensive 
       clothes. She's a woman with an uncomplicated, sociable 
       nature and an intellectual life. But in an impulsive  and 
       planned decision, Lorna has decided to leave her husband, 
       a notorious  tombeur  (seducer), and his small ancestral 
       village in France, and return to America, much more suited
       to her temperament than the rectitude of formal starchy 
       France. For Lorna, a beautiful idyll is over, finished, 
       done . . . In  Lorna Mott Comes Home,  Diane Johnson 
       brings us into the dreamy, anxiety-filled American world 
       of Lorna Mott Dumas, where much has changed and where she 
       struggles to create a new life to support herself. Into 
       the mix—her ex-husband, and the father of her three grown 
       children (all supportive), and grandchildren with their 
       own troubles (money, divorce, real estate, living on the 
       fringe; a thriving software enterprise; a missing child in
       the far east; grandchildren—new hostages to fortune; and, 
       one, 15 years old, a golden girl yet always different, 
       diagnosed at a young age with diabetes, and now pregnant 
       and determined to have the child) . . .  In the midst of a
       large cast, the precarious balance of comedy and tragedy, 
       happiness and anxiety, contentment and striving, 
       generosity and greed, love and sex, Diane Johnson, our 
       Edith Wharton of expat life, comes home to America to 
       deftly, irresistibly portray, with the lightest of touch, 
       the way we live now.
