Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Victor Mancini has devised a complicated scam to pay for his mother's hospital care: pretend to be choking on a piece of food in a restaurant and the person who 'saves you' will feel responsible for you for the rest of their lives. Multiply that a couple of hundred times and you generate a healthy flow of cheques, week in, week out. Victor also works at a theme park with a motley group of losers, cruises sex addiction groups for action, and visits his mother, whose Alzheimer's disease now hides what may be the startling truth about his parentage. 292 pp. Englisch.

Buch
Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In these stories lives come into focus through single events or sudden memories which bring the past bubbling to the surface.'No one could possibly dispute Munro's greatness' Daily MailThe past, as Alice Munro's characters discover, is made up not only of what is remembered, but also what isn't. The past is there, just out of the picture, but if memories haven't been savoured, recalled in the mind, and boxed away, it's as if they have never been - until a moment when the pieces of the jigsaw re-form suddenly, sometimes pleasurably but more often painfully.Women look back at their young selves, at first marriages made when they were naive and trusting, at husbands and their difficult, demanding little ways in a collection filled with both underlying heartbreak and hope.Winner of the Nobel Prize in LiteratureWinner of the Man Booker International Prize 2009 336 pp. Englisch.
