Story
During one glorious summer between the wars, the realities of life and the sexual ritual dance of the adult world creep into the life of young Margaret Marsh. Her father, preaching the doctrine of the unsavoury Primal Saints; her mother, bitterly nostalgic for what might have been; Charles and Binkie, anchored in the past and a game of words; dying Mrs Frayling and Lydia the maid, given to the vulgar enjoyment of life - all contribute to Margaret's shattering moment of truth.

Story
Manchmal vergisst Betty, dass sie keine Chinesin ist, so selbstverständlich nah ist ihr das Land, dessen Sprache sie seit Kindertagen beherrscht. Diese elementare Liebe zum Fernen Osten verbindet sie tief mit ihrem künftigen Mann Edward Feathers, dem jungen Star unter den Richtern der Krone in Hongkong. Als Betty Edward ewige Treue verspricht, weiß sie intuitiv, dass ihre Ehe kaum auf wilder Leidenschaft gründen wird.

Story
'I ought to tell you at the beginning that I am not quite normal having had a violent experience at the age of nine'. Jessica Vye's 'violent experience' colours her schooldays and her reaction to the world around her - a confining world of wartime restrictions, Viyella dresses, nicely-restrained essays and dusty tea shops. For Jessica has been told that she is 'beyond all possible doubt', a born writer.

Story
In 1904, when she was six, Polly Flint went to live with her two holy aunts at the yellow house by the marsh - so close to the sea that it seemed to toss like a ship, so isolated that she might have been marooned on an island. And there she stayed for 81 years, while the century raged around her, while lamplight and Victorian order became chaos and nuclear dread. Crusoe's Daughter, ambitious, moving and wholly original, is her story.

Story
Marigold Green calls herself ‘hideous, quaint and barmy’. Other people call her Bilgewater, a corruption of Bill’s daughter. Growing up in a boys’ school where her father is housemaster, she is convinced of her own plainness and peculiarity. Groomed by the wise and loving Paula, upstaged by bad, beautiful Grace and ripe for seduction by entirely the wrong sort of boy, she suffers extravagantly and comically in her pilgrimage through the turbulent, twilight world of alarming adolescence.

Story
Jessica sagt bedingungslos und in den unmöglichsten Momenten die Wahrheit. Ihr Widerwille gegen Anpassung bringt sie in dem kleinen englischen Badeort ständig in verquere Situationen. Sie hat genau eine Freundin - der Rest ihrer kleinen kriegsüberschatteten Welt begegnet ihr mit einer Mischung aus Faszination und Abscheu. Aber das ist ihr egal, denn eigentlich braucht sie all ihre explosive Kraft, um Schriftstellerin zu werden. Oder ist sie das schon? "Weit weg von Verona" ist Jane Gardams erster Roman. Doch er enthält bereits all das, wofür sie bewundert wird - die atmosphärische Stärke, den Mut zum Geheimnis und ihren besonderen Witz.

Story
Eliza, 51, schreibt Briefe an Joan, die Nachbarin, die offenbar ihren Mann und ihre Kinder verlassen hat, und die sie eigentlich kaum kennt. Briefe mit besten Ratschlägen – voller ungeschminkter Wahrheiten, schlafwandlerisch sicher gesetzter Seitenhiebe und Exzentrik. Antwort bekommt Eliza nie, was ihre Schreibwut eher anstachelt. Als ihr Mann Henry plötzlich auszieht, geraten die Briefe zu immer wilderen, fiebrigen Bekenntnissen einer zutiefst einsamen, in ihrem Leben gefangenen Frau, der nicht unbedingt zu trauen ist.

Dass Jane Gardam hinreißende Romane schreibt, war eine der wunderbaren Entdeckungen der letzten Jahre. Nun gibt es einen weiteren Schatz zu heben, Gardams Erzählungen: Hetty, die Familienmutter, die bei der Begegnung mit ihrem ehemaligen Liebhaber in einen somnambulen Zustand gerät. Der verstummte chinesische Junge, der einen vom Himmel gestürzten Schwan rettet und zur Sprache zurückfindet. Sie alle berühren uns und entwickeln ein Eigenleben, das über den Kosmos der Geschichten hinausgeht.

Alles an Edward Feathers ist ohne Fehl und Tadel - seine Garderobe, seine Manieren und sein Ruf als glänzender Anwalt. Nun ist er alt und muss mit dem Tod seiner Frau Betty zurechtkommen, so wie er immer mit allem zurechtgekommen ist. Nie hat er darüber gesprochen, wie es war, als Vierjähriger aus einer glücklichen Kindheit in Malaysia gerissen und zu einer hartherzigen Pflegemutter nach Wales verschickt zu werden. Seine perfekte Haltung täuscht alle und manchmal sogar ihn selbst. Doch mit Bettys Tod bricht etwas in ihm auf. Und so setzt er sich an einem Wintermorgen ans Steuer seines Wagens und fährt los, das eigene Leben zu erkunden.

Ein flirrender Sommerroman an der englischen Küste von der großen Erzählerin Jane Gardamy. Es ist Sommer, und Margaret ist acht und schwer genervt: Der frischgeborene Bruder ist hässlich und schreit, die Mutter hat sich in ein träge stillendes Wesen verwandelt, der Vater predigt gegen die Verderbtheit der Welt. Einmal in der Woche kann Margaret der Langeweile zu Hause entfliehen: Mittwoch ist Ausflugstag mit Lydia, dem neuen Hausmädchen, die mit ihrer selbstbewussten Körperlichkeit und handfesten Sprache in diese Familie platzt und als einzige Erwachsene wirklich zu wissen scheint, was sie will − Spaß.
