He’s decided marriage doesn’t suit him, and well… buggered off.All hope of ‘me time’ has but dwindled to sipping half a glass of wine whilst shouting after the kids. But everything is about to change.I’m taking control of my life! I’ve joined… a book club.Yes, I know what you’re thinking. ‘Wow… live a little.’ But my fellow book clubbers, Amanda and Janey, are my lifelines. They understand the daily struggle because they’re mothers too.And in between the prosecco, Doritos and googling everything about Mr Darcy on SparkNotes, they’ve convinced me to go on a date with my boss.A single mum of three looking for romance… what could possibly go wrong? A gloriously funny and relatable read for anyone who just needs a little more ‘me time’.

Khaled tanzt
Eine Geschichte, die erzählt werden muss
Khaled ist ein afghanischer Flüchtlingsjunge, der mit Tausenden seiner Landsleute nach Österreich auswandert, in der Hoffnung, eine neue Heimat zu finden. Wegen Kopfschmerzen unklarer Genese wird er von einem pensionierten Psychiater behandelt. Mit viel Geduld gelingt es dem Arzt, die Zunge des verschlossenen Jungen zu lösen, und er erfährt Unglaubliches: Khaled wurde in Afghanistan an einen reichen Kaufmann verkauft, wo er in Mädchenkleidern vor alten Männern tanzen und diesen danach zu Gefallen sein musste. Mit feinem Gespür geht László Benedek tiefgründig der Frage auf den Grund, ob und wie ein Heranwachsender solche Erlebnisse aushalten und in einer neu gewählten Heimat Fuß fassen kann.
