The author of Where'd You Go, Bernadette, returns with a masterful book about a day in the life of Eleanor Flood, forced to give up her meagre goals and wake up to a weird, new reality. It became an immediate New York Times bestseller.
Eleanor is aware of her mess. But she'll take care of the little stuff today. She will get dressed and take a shower. She drops off her kid Timby and heads to her poetry and yoga classes. She refuses to swear. She's going to ask her husband Joe out on a date. However, life intervenes before she can carry out her modest plan.
As it happens, Timby has chosen to pretend to be ill in order to sneak into his mother's company today. Additionally, Joe has decided to inform his workplace that he is on vacation on this day, but not Eleanor. When it seems like things couldn't get any worse, a chance meeting with a former coworker results in a graphic memoir whose tragic story raises the possibility of exposing a long-kept family secret.
A heartfelt and humorous tale about sisterhood, reinventing oneself, and sometimes having to face one's past in order to start a new life, Today Will Be Different conveys these themes.
