Amanda King and Tess Cuffe are strangers who share the same Georgian house, but their lives couldn't be more different. Amanda seems to have it all, absolute perfection. She projects all the accoutrements of a lady who lunches. Sadly, the reality is a soulless home, an unfaithful husband and a very lonely heart. By comparison, in the basement flat, unwanted tenant Tess has spent a lifetime hiding and shutting her heart to love. It takes a bossy doctor, a handsome gardener, a pushy teenager and an abandoned cat to show these two women that sometimes letting go is the first step to moving forward and new friendships can come from the most unlikely situations.

Geschichte
Tiffy Moore needs a cheap flat, and fast. Leon Twomey works nights and needs cash. Their friends think they're crazy, but it's the perfect solution: Leon occupies the one-bed flat while Tiffy's at work in the day and she has the run of the place the rest of the time. But with obsessive ex-boyfriends, demanding clients at work, wrongly imprisoned brothers and, of course, the fact that they still haven't met yet, they're about to discover that if you want the perfect home you need to throw the rule book out the window....

He was perfect. Denim blue eyes, a dazzling smile. And he hadn’t sent me a picture of his junk. Which is about as rare, these days, as a dodo. When Sloane met Myles, everything fell into place. He loved a martini almost as much as she did, shared her passion for four-cheese pizzas, and made her laugh harder than any episode of Friends. She’d found 'The One' at last, and she could finally delete Tinder, forgetting all those waste-of-space men she’d never have to date again. But then she finds out that Myles has a secret. A very big one.

Penny and Victoria are about as different as two siblings can be, one with a smart London lifestyle, the other struggling to make ends meet. But they are joined by more than blood, and their shared tragic past is affecting the present more than they realise. When events begin to tug at the fabric beneath which dark secrets are hidden, the resulting chaos threatens to tear the two families apart. Could there be aspects of the past that youngest child Penny doesn't remember? Could the truth of Marge be more complex than the beloved mother the girls choose to perceive?

Everyone is talking about Jennie Sue Baker and the mess she made of her life in New York. The former high school queen bee - and wealthy darling of Bloom, Texas - has returned home after all these years, riding on a common bus and bearing two bounced alimony checks. In a town that thrives on gossip, Jennie’s fall from grace has shamed her mother, set the town buzzing, and caused old, jealous enemies to whisper in delight. They say she’s taken a job as a housekeeper, gotten a garage apartment, and might be crushing on Rick Lawson, a simple farmer with modest dreams.

leicht schwermütig
Das Buch ist ansich unterhaltsam, flüssig und schlüssig. Es gibt einen schönen Handlungsschauplatz in Dublin. Das Buch springt deutlich gekennzeichnet) häufig zurück in die Vergangdnheit und beschreibt das Leben zweier Frauen, Amande und Tess, die im selben Hauskomplex wohnen. Amandas Mann, Richard, wünscht seit langen Jahren, dass Tess ausziehen möge, um die Wohnung selbst zur Verfügung zu haben, die zu seinem Haus (dem Haus seiner Familie) gehört. Es sind verhärtete Fronten entstanden. Amanda unterstptzt Richard in diesem Kleinkrieg - aus Loyalität Durch diese Umstände sowie eine nicht funktionierende Ehe zwischen Richard und Ananda, eineb bösartig pubertierenden Sohn, traurige Vorfälle in Tess Vergangenheit usw. gibt es aber insgesamt einen Hang zum Düsteren, der mich etwas gestört hat. Dass die Frauen im Buch zum Schluss ihre Lebenskrisen meistern und stabile, verbindliche Beziehungen zu anderen eingehen, kam mir etwas überzogen vor bzw. das Ausmaß des Gelungenes dieser neuen modernen (zumeist selbst gewählten) Familie erschien vor dem Hintergrund der ewig andauernden Misere in den ersten 6/8 des Buchs gelinde gesagt überraschend. Aber es ist eben eins 'dieser Bücher, die genau so etwas anbieten wollen. Daher in meinen Augen kein Meisterwerk, eher ein Unterhaltungsroman mit gewissem Charme, wenn man nicht anfällig für düstere Stimmungen ist und sich dann runterziehen lässt.
