Geschichte
At times stern, at other times patient, at times perceptive, at other times in sad denial, Olive Kitteridge, a retired schoolteacher, deplores the changes in her little town of Crosby, Maine, and in the world at large, but she doesn’t always recognize the changes in those around her: a lounge musician haunted by a past romance; a former student who has lost the will to live; Olive’s own adult child, who feels tyrannized by her irrational sensitivities; and her husband, Henry, who finds his loyalty to his marriage both a blessing and a curse.

Geschichte
When Marilyn Connolly and David Sorenson fall in love in the 1970s, they are blithely ignorant of all that's to come. By 2016, their four daughters are each in a state of unrest: Wendy soothes herself with booze and younger men; Violet, a litigator-turned-stay-at-home-mom, battles anxiety and doubt; Liza, a neurotic and newly tenured professor, finds herself pregnant with a baby she's not sure she wants; and Grace, the dawdling youngest daughter, begins living a lie. Above it all, the daughters share the lingering fear that they will never find a love quite like their parents'.

Geschichte
At the end of the Second World War, Cyril Conroy combines luck and a single canny investment to begin an enormous real estate empire, propelling his family from poverty to enormous wealth. His first order of business is to buy the Dutch House, a lavish estate in the suburbs outside of Philadelphia. Meant as a surprise for his wife, the house sets in motion the undoing of everyone he loves. The story is told by Cyril’s son Danny, as he and his older sister, the brilliantly acerbic and self-assured Maeve, are exiled from the house where they grew up by their stepmother.

Dorothea Brooke is an ardent idealist who represses her vivacity and intelligence for the cold, theological pedant Casaubon. One man understands her true nature: the artist Will Ladislaw. But how can love triumph against her sense of duty and Casaubon’s mean spirit? Meanwhile, in the little world of Middlemarch, the broader world is mirrored: the world of politics, social change, and reforms, as well as betrayal, greed, blackmail, ambition, and disappointment.

In 1943, LSD is synthesized in Basel. Two decades later, a coterie of grad students at Harvard are gradually drawn into the inner circle of renowned psychologist and psychedelic drug enthusiast Timothy Leary. Fitzhugh Loney, a psychology PhD student, and his wife, Joanie, become entranced by the drug’s possibilities such that their “research” becomes less a matter of clinical trials and academic papers and instead turns into a freewheeling exploration of mind expansion, group dynamics, and communal living.

Bestens vertraut
Typisch Anne Tyler: Mit kräftigen Pinselstrichen und feinen Tupfern lässt sie uns an mehreren Generationen einer Familie teilhaben. Erste Liebe, zeitliche Konventionen, Elterndasein, Geschwisterrivalität und die Tücken des Altwerdens. Sie spannt einen Bogen, der in seiner nicht linearen Struktur etwas gestückelt wirkt, und zumindest eine Passage davon zieht die Mitte in die Länge. Es ist nicht ihr bester Familienroman (das ist immer noch DINNER IM HEIMWEHRESTAURANT), aber immer noch ein guter in bewährter Anne Tyler-Manier.
Die Sprecherin:
Kimberly Farr verblüfft mit pointierter, unterhaltsamer Differenzierung, Energie und Wandelbarkeit. Von der ältlichen, resoluten Abby bis hin zu Stem's verschüchtertem Kinderstimmchen, vom schwerhörig-lauten Red bis zu Linnie's dickem Südstaaten-Akzent: Es passt. Was manchmal wie zu dick aufgelegt klingt, sorgt tatsächlich in diesem personenlastigen Hörbuch dafür, dass auch Längen nicht langweilig werden.
