(Verlagstext)

 

In ihrem Haus in Südkalifornien erwarten Linda und John sehnsüchtig die Ankunft ihrer Kinder. Es könnte ein idyllisches Familienfest werden - wären da nicht die Gespenster von Zorn und Traurigkeit. Erzählungen über die andauernden Widersprüche unserer Beziehungen, den Kampf gegen den männlichen Blick, das Ausloten von Weiblichkeit.
