Krátky popis
Life is a lucrative business, as long as you play by the
rules.',[Joanne] Ramos's debut novel couldn't be more relevant or
timely.'O: The Oprah Magazine (25 Books We Can't Wait to Read in
2019)Nestled in New York's Hudson Valley is a luxury retreat
boasting every amenity: organic meals, personal fitness trainers,
daily massagesand all of it for free. In fact, you're paid big
money to stay heremore than you've ever dreamed of. The catch? For
nine months, you cannot leave the grounds, your movements are
monitored, and you are cut off from your former life while you
dedicate yourself to the task of producing the perfect baby.For
someone else.Jane, an immigrant from the Philippines, is in
desperate search of a better future when she commits to being a
',Host' at Golden Oaksor the Farm, as residents call it. But now
pregnant, fragile, consumed with worry for her family, Jane is
determined to reconnect with her life outside. Yet she cannot leave
the Farm or she will lose the life-changing fee she'll receive on
the delivery of her child.Gripping, provocative, heartbreaking, The
Farm pushes to the extremes our thinking on motherhood, money, and
merit and raises crucial questions about the trade-offs women will
make to fortify their futures and the futures of those they
love.Advance praise for The Farm',This topical, provocative debut
anatomizes class, race and the American dream.'The Guardian, ',What
You'll Be Reading This Year'',Wow, Joanne Ramos has written the
page-turner about immigrants chasing what's left of the American
dream.. . .Truly unforgettable.'Gary Shteyngart, New York Times
bestselling author of Super Sad True Love Story and Lake Success',A
highly original and provocative story about the impossible choices
in so many women's lives. These characters will stay with me for a
long time.'Karen Thompson Walker, New York Timesbestselling author
of The Age of Miraclesand The Dreamers',Ramos has written a
firecracker of a novel, at once caustic and tender, page-turning
and thought-provoking.This is a fierce indictment of the vampiric
nature of modern capitalism, which never loses sight of the very
human stories at its center.. .. Highly recommended.'Madeline
Miller,#1New York Timesbestselling author ofCirce
