Spanning almost thirty years, My Other Life traces the journey of a fictional Paul Theroux—from young bachelorhood in Africa to his travels between continents, from in and out of marriage through various affairs and multiple means of employment. From his early education at the knee of a highly eccentric uncle until his years as a fledgling novelist in London under the wing of the rapacious Lady Max, this writer of different guises eventually retreats alone to his hometown, where he finds the raw material to begin again.

Dare you close your eyes for even a few seconds? One, two, three... Lisa Dale shuts her eyes and counts to 100 during a game of hide-and-seek. When she opens them, her four-year-old daughter, Ella, is gone. Disappeared without a trace. The police, the media and Lisa's family all think they know who snatched Ella. But what if the person who took her isn't a stranger? What if they are convinced they are doing the right thing? And what if Lisa's little girl is in danger of disappearing forever?

A missing boy. A missing book. A missing husband. A woman who must find them all to find herself.

Also missing is his lifebook, the only thing that holds the answers. With the help of Conor's foster mum, Bernadette must face her own past, her husband's secrets and a future she never dared imagine in order to find them all.

Tot ce i-am promis tatălui meu balansează cu grație feminină între amintirile încă vii ale tinereții și prezentul unei realități necruțătoare. Drama schizoidă a femeii mature eșuate în rol de mamă se transformă, cu prilejul unui punct de cotitură, într-o zbatere între dreptul la o viață proprie și păstrarea echilibrului în universul familial. Povestea de iubire, fie ea și una la distanță, imposibilă, dar cu atât mai ușor de dus, vine ca un colac de salvare, iar eroina o (re)trăiește ca pe o a doua șansă.
