Trophy House
Description
"Trophy House" is an extraordinary and complex novel, at one level a romantic thriller, at another a deeply satisfying story about the disintegration of a marriage and the consequences for all concerned -- that rare piece of fiction that is at once thrilling, grown-up and completely believable.It begins with the construction of a totally inappropriate and enormous house -- a "trophy house" -- which unexpectedly comes to threaten the tranquillity of what appears to be one woman's perfect life and marriage. Dannie Faber has lots of reasons to feel blessed. A children's book illustrator, she shares a loving marriage with Tom, an M.I.T. professor, with whom she divides her time between one of Boston's finest suburbs and a beloved beach house in Truro, on Cape Cod. And then, for reasons she could not possibly have foreseen, Dannie's life begins to unravel.
With "Trophy House, " Anne Bernays -- author of "Professor Romeo" and "Growing Up Rich --" delivers a poignant, funny, and ultimately wrenching story of adults in peril and the unlikely hope for romance that, in the end, becomes the key to surviving events that are beyond their control. It is a brilliant and moving portrait of a marriage.

Reviews
-- Annie Dillard
"Anne Bernays has done it again. Nobody writes about the struggles of love and family from the inside out better than she does. "Trophy House" is a superbly written tale that, like all of Bernays's novels, uses humor and wit to go deep into the pores of our souls."
-- Jim Lehrer
