Zwei Babys, eine merkwürdige Hochzeit und ein kleines Wunder auf dem turbulenten Weg zum Glück Wenn das Leben aus den Fugen gerät, hilft nur noch die chaotische Familie Walsh. In ihrem neuen Roman erzählt sie die urkomische und zugleich anrührende Geschichte von Anna Walsh, deren Familie den Lesern aus „Wassermelone“, „Rachel im Wunderland“ und „Auszeit für Engel“ bereits bestens bekannt ist. Anna hat einen schweren Schlag erlitten. Wird sie im Chaos von New York neues Glück finden? Anna, die vierte der Walsh-Töchter, lässt sich nach einem schlimmen Autounfall im Kreise ihrer liebenswert-verrückten Familie aufpäppeln. Erst als ihre Wunden so weit verheilt sind, kann sie sich langsam dem ganzen Ausmaß des Unglücks stellen: Ihr Mann Aidan ist bei dem Unfall umgekommen. Vorsichtig tastet sie sich in ihr früheres Leben in New York zurück – in einem anrührenden und zugleich doch urkomischen Parforceritt durch die Verrücktheiten des Alltags: Denn wie soll man in einer Séance Kontakt zum Verstorbenen aufnehmen, wenn nebenan die Laienbauchtanzgruppe und der Altdamengesangsverein proben? Wie soll man sich mit seiner besten Freundin austauschen, wenn diese sich gerade in einen Super-Macho verliebt? Wie mit der Schwester, wenn diese als Privatdetektivin ausgerechnet für Mr. Big arbeitet – den Dubliner Gangsterboss, der zutiefst darunter leidet, dass jeder ihn auf „Sex and the City“ anspricht? Und doch gelingt es Anna schließlich, nicht nur das Leben wiederzuentdecken, sondern sogar die Liebe ... Подробнее
