Nell Stevens: The Good Time, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

In The Good Time, Nell Stevens introduces us to characters teetering on the edge of self-knowledge, unveiling the complexities of their inner worlds with empathy and humor. A woman suffering an extreme allergic reaction to a yoga mat returns to the UK to give a reading at her estranged best friend's wedding; a corporate new starter desperately tries to persuade her colleague to accept that his online girlfriend doesn't exist; a group of student activists stage an artful protest against the demolition of a tower block; a once inseparable friendship group confront the reason they drifted; and a self-taught pianist whose wife is six months pregnant decides she must travel to Warsaw to listen to Chopin's heart. Wry, precise, and full of wisdom, these stories ask what it means to have a good time, and what happens when the good times end.
