In her new novel, she returns to familiar ground -- New York's Upper East Side and summer colonies in New England -- and reveals that class and privilege provide no protection from familial pain.This Is My Daughter is the intense, closely viewed story of a second marriage, charting the attempts of two divorced parents who are struggling to form a new family with their two daughters. The girls, however, have their own ideas: While children can't prevent a divorce, they can prevent the success of a marriage. The tensions and complexities of the situation grow steadily more powerful as the story moves to a stunning and emotional climax. Readers who know Robinson's work will recognize her elegant prose and compassionate gaze; readers of writers such as Jane Smiley and Alice Munro will discover a similar talent.
