'The best book I've read all year' - Elizabeth Day, author of Magpie 'An immersive, multi-layered portrait of a marriage . . . a work of quiet genius' – The Observer An Oprah's Book Club Pick, from the acclaimed author of The Nix . Moving from the gritty 90s Chicago art scene to a suburbia of detox diets and home renovation hysteria, Wellness is a thought-provoking exploration of modern love and our tech-obsessed health culture.

Ny stor roman af forfatteren til Niksen. 1993. To unge forelsker sig. Jack er flygtet fra de snævre rammer ude på landet i Kansas og går på kunstakademiet. Elizabeth har vristet sig fri af sin velhavende Østkystfamilie og studerer kognitiv psykologi, adfærdsøkonomi og evolutionsbiologi. Og så lige neurovidenskab oveni … Jack og Elizabeth bliver gift, får en søn. Men slumrende konflikter dukker op til overfladen, da Jack må opgive sine kunstneriske ambitioner til fordel for et lærerjob, og Elizabeth involveres i et tvivlsomt forskningsprojekt på centeret Wellness. Skjulte familietraumer afdækkes lag for lag med chokerende afsløringer til følge … Wellness er en skarp, satirisk og morsom, men også kærlig fortælling om familie, kunst, moral, fupdiæter, forstadsliv, forældres perfekthedssyndrom, åbne ægteskaber samt det moderne menneske, der snurrer rundtosset rundt i nettets afkroge og fanges ind af algoritmer og digitale plattenslagere. Nathan Hill (f. 1975) debuterede i 2016 med romanen Niksen, der blev solgt til over 25 lande, vandt priser og røg ind på bestsellerlister verden over.

"Wellness" er den amerikanske forfatter Nathan Hills anden bog efter bestseller debuten "Niksen" . ”En fremragende roman, der får dig til at tænke på, hvad der er sandt i dit eget liv og de historier, vi fortæller os selv og hinanden.” – Oprah Winfrey ”Stortalentets opfølger til Niksen er et smågenialt, mangefacetteret og betagende portræt af et ægteskab.” - The Guardian ”Hill sendte mig ud på en spændende rejse, og tænk, at der stadig findes forfattere, som arbejder i det store format og viser os, hvor meget romanen kan, hvis man virkelig udnytter dens muligheder (…) En værdig aftager til David Foster Wallace og Thomas Pynchon.” - The Atlantic ”Vidunderlig … Hill er en imponerende fortæller … Hans romaner får alting til at stå levende frem for læseren, fra den ensomme barndom i Midtvesten til vores længsel efter kontakt og medmenneskelig forståelse.” - New York Times ”Fantastisk … Man bliver suget ind i Wellness … Det smukke ved Hills roman nummer to er, at alle personer er lidt mærkelige, men at man fatter sympati for dem alle … Det er ikke mange romaner fra de senere år, der indeholder så megen menneskekærlighed.” - Washington Post
