Description - The Smash-Up: A Novel by Ali Benjamin
Life for Ethan and Zo used to be simple. Ethan co-founded a lucrative media start-up and Zo was well on her way to becoming a successful filmmaker. Then they moved to a rural community for a little more tranquility – or so they thought.
When newfound political activism transforms Zo into a barely recognizable ball of outrage and #MeToo allegations rock his old firm, Ethan finds himself a misfit in his own life. Enter a houseguest who is young, fun and not at all concerned with the real world and Ethan is abruptly forced to question everything – his past, his future, his marriage and what he values most.
Startling, witty, thought-provoking and wise, Ali Benjamin's exciting debut novel offers the shock of recognition as it deftly illuminates some of the biggest issues of our time. Taking inspiration from a classic Edith Wharton tale about a small-town love triangle, The Smash-Up is a wholly contemporary exploration of how the things we fail to see can fracture a life, a family, a community and a nation.
