Synopsis of Gain
En 'Gain', Richard Powers entrelaza dos historias a diferentes escalas. Por un lado, Laura Body, madre divorciada y agente inmobiliaria en un pequeño pueblo de Illinois, se enfrenta a un nuevo capítulo al ser diagnosticada con cáncer de ovario. Por otro, Clare & Company, una empresa de fabricación de jabones que comenzó en el siglo XIX en Boston, se transforma en un conglomerado internacional de productos de consumo con sede en la ciudad de Laura. El crecimiento de Clare refleja la historia de Estados Unidos, mientras que la vida de Laura se ve afectada por Clare, revelando conexiones invisibles entre las grandes empresas y las vidas más pequeñas.
