Summary
Here's what Gigi knows: She's a New Yorker living in London. Her mother ate cheese from a can; her mother-in-law serves terrine. She was ambitious and she worked hard. Now she finds the choice in the pasta aisle overwhelming. Her husband is pretending everything's okay when she knows he knows it's not. Her brother died on 9/11. Her heart is still borken. She loves her adopted son but she's not sure about the new baby. She's been to one Eurovision party, and one was enough. She doesn't want to be the kind of mother she had. She's worried she can't help it. She's tried really hard to keep it together. But how do you hold on to who you are when everything changes?
