The Believers

Серия: "-"

When Audrey makes a devastating discovery about her husband, New York radical lawyer Joel Litvinoff, she is forced to re-examine everything she thought she knew about their forty-year marriage. Joel's children will have to deal with this unsettling secret themselves, but meanwhile, they are trying to cope with their own dilemmas. Rosa, beautiful, disillusioned revolutionary, is grappling with a new-found attachment to Orthodox Judaism. Unhappily married Karla is falling in love with an unlikely suitor at the hospital where she works. Adopted brother Lenny is back on drugs again. In the course of battling their own demons and each other, every member of the family is called upon to decide what - if anything - they still believe in.

Biography

Heller was born in North London as the youngest of four children of German-Jewish immigrant Lukas Heller, who was a successful screenwriter. Her mother was instrumental in keeping up the Labour Party's "Save London Transport Campaign". Heller studied English at St Anne's College, Oxford, and then went on to Columbia University, New York.

Heller then returned to London to work as a columnist. She is credited with being one of the first female 'confessional' writers. She now lives in New York City, writes for the "Daily Telegraph", and contributes to "The New Yorker" and other magazines.

She has published three novels, "Everything You Know" (1999), "Notes on a Scandal" (2003), which was one of six books shortlisted for the Booker Prize in 2003 and made into a film in 2006, and "The Believers" (September 2008).

Zoë Heller now lives in New York with her husband, screenwriter Larry Konner, and their two daughters. Though their permanent residence is a flat in New York, Zoe Heller and her family have recently situated in Harbor Island of the Bahamas.
