Hunter is lost. Her husband left her for Angelica, her former best friend whose new hit memoir is spreading unsavory lies about Hunter. She’s unemployed with no prospects, and the San Francisco flea market she’s wandering on a weekday is so foggy that she literally doesn’t know where she is. It’s only after a helpful visit and a gift from a stranger who appears from the mist that Hunter finds her resolve. She begins a support group for women looking for new beginnings—only to have Angelica start one, too. In the next room over. One that feels very cult-y.

Лауреат Букеровской премии Джулиан Барнс — один из самых ярких и оригинальных прозаиков современной Британии, автор таких международных бестселлеров, как "Одна история", "Шум времени", "Предчувствие конца", "Артур и Джордж", "История мира в 10½ главах", "Попугай Флобера" и многих других. Возможно, основной его талант — умение легко и естественно играть стилями и направлениями. Тонкая стилизация и едкая ирония, утонченный лиризм и доходящий чуть ли не до цинизма сарказм, агрессивная жесткость и веселое озорство — Барнсу подвластно все это и многое другое.

Hausfrau Elli liebt Online-Shopping. Sonst gibt es ja auch nicht viel, womit man sich in Riedenhagen, dem Kaff in dem sie wohnt, die Zeit vertreiben könnte. Hauptsache ihr Mann bekommt nichts davon mit, wieviel Geld ihr kleines "Hobby" aus der Haushaltskasse spült. Nur noch dieser eine Pulli mit den Wendepailletten aus dem chinesischen Billig-Portal soll es sein, dann hört sie auf ...Dumm nur, dass ihr anstatt des flauschigen Pullovers eine Lkw-Ladung voller dubioser Energie Riegel geliefert wird und ihre Kaufsucht endgültig auffliegt.

"Teresa Reichl spoilert die Antwort auf die Frage, die sich die meisten stellen werden: Kann die eigentlich was? Fünf Minuten auf der Bühne sind ihr zu wenig geworden, also wird sie in ihrem ersten abendfüllenden Programm alles zeigen, was sie kann (und wahrscheinlich auch, was sie nicht kann). Reichl lässt sich begleiten auf einer Reise durch ihr noch junges Leben. Von Streichen, die sie als Kind ihrem Bruder gespielt hat, über die Schulzeit und die erste eigene Wohnung bis jetzt, wo sie sich traut, sich auf eine Bühne zu stellen und zu sagen: Obacht, i kann wos!"

Una vita di successo grazie alla partnership con Vittorio Zanca, ambiguo ingegnere edile di origini calabro-venete e dubbia moralità, che lo ha introdotto nella società che conta, ma a caro prezzo.

No, la scatola assume nel corso del romanzo varie funzioni con l’evolversi turbolento della storia.

Il Natale è ormai alle porte e in casa di Calogero Martorio, Mammasantissima della camorra, è in corso una cena con tutti i capi dei Quartieri per decretare la condanna a morte di Carmine Atriere, un giovane delinquente accusato di aver ammazzato Zumpatiello, braccio destro del potente Tommaso Cacace.
