Об электронной книге
In August of 1969, a disillusioned suburban housewife accidentally gets stranded at Woodstock for a life-changing weekend in this uplifting fish-out-of-water tale from the USA Today bestselling author of Let’s Call Her Barbie.
On the same morning Frannie Alpern learns of her husband’s affair, her teenage daughter defiantly sneaks off to a music festival in Upstate New York. At her wits’ end, Frannie’s plan to go get her sets off an unexpected chain of events: car trouble leads to hitchhiking with a van of teenagers, which lands them on a country road, clogged with half a million young people heading to Woodstock. Ironically, this same traffic jam that prevents her daughter from arriving also keeps Frannie from leaving.
Dressed for a country club luncheon, surrounded by bellbottoms and hippies, Frannie couldn’t be more out of place. She can’t remember the last time she had a weekend to herself and as the hours tick by, her anxiety unfurls into something that feels a bit like freedom. Sure, she’d prefer a comfortable hotel, but between camping out beneath stars with an intriguing rock photographer, getting to know her charming traveling companions, experiencing the generosity of strangers, and being swept up in the music, everything she feared about Woodstock now delights her. Frannie rediscovers who she once was. And who she could be again.
Sharply observed and joyously told, That August Weekend is a sparkling nostalgic story of how being at the wrong place at the right time can open up a world of possibilities while revealing who we truly are.
