It is 1992, and the Lowe family is living in a centuries-old castle in Prague. Alden Lowe works at the Czech Ministry of Finance and his wife Becky advises women entrepreneurs. With their daugher Julie, they appear a fortunate American family, but after twenty years with Alden, Becky shocks the family by fleeing to Libya, where she intends to reunite with a man who has loved her since before her marriage.
In its tale of Americans living abroad and the social reconfigurations that ensue, the captivating A Way from Home is reminiscent of the novels of Edith Wharton and Henry James--with a delicious satiric tang all its own.

A Way from Home
Sequel to "The Hills at Home", which follows Alden, Becky, little Becky and William to Prague and Libya.
A little disjointed, but I enjoy Clark's dead-pan, arch observations.
Introducing a Czech diplomatic funtionary: "And as for Svatopluk, what sort of name was Svatopluk? Alden wondered. Was it the equivalent of having an assistant named Jethro or Clem, or Julian or Byron, or Bill or Bob? Ought he to speak of Svatopluk naturally or with a voice freighted with irony? Was a Svatopluk, in the language of the Ministry, to be listed among one's assets?"
Later, Alden's visiting sister Ginger calls him "Sputnik".
