Review "Griet Op de Beeck writes books that affect your organs: the lungs skip a breath, the stomach knots up, the heart leaps. Her characters hit incredibly close to home." —De Standaard Long Description In this international bestseller, a woman comes of age in a poignant novel about forgiveness, pain, and self-discovery. Monas demanding mother ruled their home until a car crash took her life and changed their family forever. Left to tend to a distant father and a needy younger brother, Mona finds her new role almost too much to bear. And when a new stepmother, troubled and depressed, adds yet another crack to the family portrait, Monas forced to shoulder an even greater share of the emotional burden. Somewhere between her responsibility to her family and to her own life, Mona finds a route of escape: in a theater career she craves. But for every challenge ahead-romantic, professional, sexual, and familial-Mona wonders how much of her future has already been defined by the challenges of her past. An emotional, funny, and universal novel about the people, experiences, and choices that make us who we are, Mona in Three Acts is a revelatory journey of a womans self-discovery, forgiveness, and courage to finally speak her truth.
