Von Trauer, körperlicher Arbeit und Antriebslosigkeit geplagt, versinkt Ellis Judd mehr und mehr in seinen Jugenderinnerungen. Als Zwölfjähriger lernte er Michael kennen und zwischen den beiden bildete sich eine Freundschaft, die dem grauen und kalten Oxford trotzt. Gemeinsam vertiefen sie sich in die Schönheit der Kunst, der Literatur und ihren Sehnsüchten. Van Goghs Sonnenblumen-Gemälde bildet dabei das Zentrum ihres Fernwehs nach Licht, Sonne und Farbe. Dann trifft Ellis auf seine große Liebe Annie und ihre Freundschaft wird nochmal auf den Kopf gestellt. Liebe, Angst, Einsamkeit und Trauer: Benny und Felicitas legen euch einen literarischen Roman ans Herz, der große Themen aufwirft und euch von Oxford nach Südfrankreich entführt.

Welcome to our Christmas special!Also special as we recorded this episode in front of our first audience at the Henley Community Garden with the Gladesville Happy Hens. We hope you enjoy listening to us talk about our book advent (list below) while also prescribing something to eat and something to read for two letter writers. The list of books discussed is below and there will be more information about this and the recipes discussed in the Shownotes.Thank you for listening to us this last year, and we look forward to returning with a Summer special in January. Until then, happy holidays to all.Sophie & Germaine xxWe started our episode by offering a couple of sweet treats taken from books we have both loved and talked about this year. Sophie and Nigel Slater's Christmas CakeIt was always going to be a Christmas cake for me. And always, my favourite recipe by Nigel Slater from the Christmas Chronicles (but also available here online).Germaine and Ella Risbridger's Three Ingredient BrowniesI was intrigued to try such an easy recipe after we read The Year of Miracles: Recipes about Love, Grief and Growing Things in Season 2, Episode 4 so decided to try it. It is easy. And tasty! Simply Nutella, eggs and flour. Here is a similar recipe to Ella's if you haven't read her book. Book List* Advent by Anja Dunk * Christmas Days by Jeanette Winterson* Festive Spirits by Kate Atkinson (Lucy's Story)* How to End a Story by Helen Garner* Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone by J.K. Rowling* The Paper Palace by Miranda Cowley Heller* The Christmas Chronicles by Nigel Slater* Seeing Other People by Diana Reed* Small Things Like These, Clare Keegan* Overheard: the art of eavesdropping by Oslo Davis* Wombat Divine by Mem Fox* Cooking for Claudine by John BaxterLetter 1Thank you for this! I am emerging from a marriage break up and I need some lightness and happiness in my life. Maybe a bit of courage too.Germaine's book prescriptionMaira Kalman's The Principles of Uncertainty is one of my favourite books that I return to whenever I am feeling in need of a reminder that life always contains lightness alongside the need for courage. Kalman is perhaps best known for her children's book illustrations and as a contributor to the New Yorker magazine, however this illustrated memoir is a different way of reflecting and understanding the meaning of her life. Her quirky illustrations, existential questions and melancholic observations are very powerful. I prescribe it as a completely different way of reading about life. Kalman walks the streets of New York and draws the people she sees. Her daily walks in Central Park with an old friend also impact on her sense of wellbeing. She reminisces about her childhood and the past. It's a visual journey through her mind!Sophie's recipeI think it has to be cake. Specifically, a sponge, though one with structure so it won't deflate on you or be finicky about travelling. Something you can cut and come again and keep in the fridge. Take to work to share, take to a morning tea with your friends. You can't not be cheered by a sponge. And you can take courage that this recipe will work! As Nigel Slater says in Christmas Chronicles, “there was something about the way my mother would put a cake on the table that made me feel all was well. Safe. Secure. Unshakeable'Here's my sponge cake recipe, please try it, fill it with jam, cream, curd, love, whatever you have to hand!Letter 2I am going ‘home' for Christmas for a number of reasons. It may well be our last - or only- ‘family' holiday with all 6 of us that we will remember, as my eldest is 19 and will be moving on with his life - a fact we celebrate and mourn, and my youngest is 11, and therefore too young to remember our trips before the Covid years. Included in the trip are 2 weeks in the UK to have our first English Christmas with my family, and our first one all together in 7 years. It is always a little bittersweet without my Dad, whose presence is long missed, but it is definitely a time for celebration.What will make the trip a little more interesting, and is making my mother slightly apprehensive, is a history of tension between my brother and sister - I refuse to get sucked in to any drama and can smooth almost any situation - but I want her to feel excitement and eagerness about spending this time together, so do you have a suggestion for a book that celebrates the joy of family reconnection, or something that will bring light to dark winter evenings? Something fun, but real would be grand. And she is always fond of a murder.In terms of asking for something to cook, I am being held responsible for an Australian style brunch - limited by available ingredients so sadly no mango unless I smuggle them in (which I may), and need something sweet, but light to finish the traditional croissants and smoked salmon, and that won't compete with pavlova and Christmas pudding that will be served after late lunch. Also, my mother loathes cream and milk, unless cooked into a cheese sauce, so yoghurt is out.Hope that's not too prescriptive? I love listening to you both, and hearing your discussions.Sophie's recipeWhat about a warm Christmas crumble? In a medium-sized saucepan, mix together about 2 cups frozen (or fresh berries) with about 2 cups rhubarb, apple or stonefruit (depending on season and taste. Add 1/3 cup sugar, 1 tsp vanilla paste and the juice of one orange or lemon and cook on low heat for about 10 minutes or until the fruit is soft. Transfer to a bowl and pop in the fridge to cool or if cooking the crumble straight away, tip into an oven-proof dish.For the crumble topping, in a medium bowl, combine 50g unsalted butter, cold and cubed, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1 tsp vanilla paste, 1/2 cup almond meal, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup rolled oats, 1/4 cup shredded coconut and 200g marzipan. Work everything together with your fingers and crumble together. Preheat oven to 180C and crumble the topping over the layer of fruit and cook for about 20-30 minutes or until the topping is golden. Serve hot with cream, yogurt or ice cream. Germaine's bookI rose to the challenge with this letter and managed to find a book that is about family and reconnection, with humour and depth. Also, there is a missing person! I'll let you discover if it's a murder or just a side mystery… When God Was A Rabbit by Sarah Winman is a family story about bad things happening to good people and good things happening to good people! This is the poignant tale of Ellie and her family from her childhood in the 1960s through to her adulthood in the early 2000s. There is a cast of quirky characters, all damaged and all loveable who feel very real. Winman also writes beautifully about sibling bonds, “I am here but I am not yours”. While the characters (like families) frustrate, make you laugh out loud and also cry, ultimately, they express the love and hope within us all, no matter what has happened.Thank youOur thanks to Emma and her volunteers from the Gladesville Happy Hens for organising our event and for being so generous with her time and energy.As always, thanks to Kristy Reading for producing every episode of our podcast!We acknowledge that the land on which we work and live is the traditional land of the Wiradjuri Nation and Wallumedegal people.

Our compulsion to create keeps life interesting, but can create its own trouble: so is it a blessing or a curse? Welcome to our podcast for all stitchers, embroiderers, textile artists and creative souls, where we have friendly informal conversations about what it actually means to be an artist working in textiles. Isobel and Gina are both practicing artists and tutors specialising in machine embroidery, but we're still figuring it all out!

Do you ever feel like Italy is just showing off just a bit? It's literally got the best of both worlds, surrounded by the sea and graced with mountains (hello, Italian Alps, Dolomites, and Apennines), woodlands, and hills, including the famous seven of Rome. The climate is ideal for growing lovely things like figs, almonds, olives, grapes, and... romance. What's more romantic than sweethearts riding a Vespa under the moonlight? Or a spritz sipped under a beach umbrella on the Italian Riviera? A dip in the Adriatic, a stroll in the Tuscan sunshine, a run down a slope in the Italian Alps — these are the things of which dreams are made. Which leads us to this fact: Italy has the third highest life expectancy in Europe: 83.5 years of living la dolce vita, the sweet life. The food, the wine, the weather, the language, the history; it's an embarrassment of riches, and we're all the better for it.

Stilleven van Sarah Winman Radio Savannah is terug! Met Stilleven van Sarah Winman smeren Lola en Suzanne in deze aflevering de zomervakantie lekker nog wat langer uit en duiken ze de Italiaanse bergen in met een roman over kunst, vriendschap en verbinding. Wil je meekletsen met Lola en Suzanne? Laat het ons weten op Instagram, Twitter en Facebook en gebruik #RadioSavannah. Voor (lees)tips en fanmail zijn we ook te bereiken op info@savannahbay.nl. Lees Sarah Winman! Stilleven In 1944, terwijl de geallieerde troepen optrekken en rondom bommen neerkomen, ontmoeten twee onbekenden elkaar in de verwoeste wijnkelder van een Toscaanse villa. Ulysses Temper is en jonge Britse soldaat die ooit wereldbollen maakte, en Evelyn Skinner een kunsthistorica - en mogelijk spionne - van in de zestig. Zij is naar Italië gekomen om schilderijen uit de puinhopen te redden en haar herinneringen opnieuw te beleven aan de keer dat ze E.M. Forster ontmoette en in Florence haar hart werd gestolen door een Italiaans dienstmeisje in een zekere kamer met uitzicht. Onverwacht herkennen deze twee mensen in elkaar een verwante ziel, en de dingen die Evelyn vertelt over waarheid en schoonheid planten een zaadje in Ulysses' geest dat het verdere verloopt van zijn leven - en dat van de mensen die van hem houden - zal bepalen. Stilleven gaat van de heuvels in Toscane naar de smog in het Londense East End en vandaar naar de pleinen van Florence. Het is een epische en speelse roman vol kleurrijke personages over schoonheid, liefde, familie en verbondenheid. Vind het boek hier in de webshop. Still life From the author of When God was a Rabbit and Tin Man, Still Life is a big-hearted story of people brought together by love, war, art and the ghost of E.M. Forster. 1944, in the ruined wine cellar of a Tuscan villa, as bombs fall around them, two strangers meet and share an extraordinary evening. Ulysses Temper is a young British soldier, Evelyn Skinner is a sexagenarian art historian and possible spy. She has come to Italy to salvage paintings from the wreckage and relive memories of the time she encountered EM Forster and had her heart stolen by an Italian maid in a particular Florentine room with a view. Evelyn's talk of truth and beauty plants a seed in Ulysses' mind that will shape the trajectory of his life – and of those who love him – for the next four decades. Moving from the Tuscan Hills and piazzas of Florence, to the smog of London's East End, Still Life is a sweeping, joyful novel about beauty, love, family and fate. Vind het boek hier in de webshop.

Australian novelist Hannah Kent's first novel Burial Rites, about the last woman executed in Iceland, was a bestseller internationally and translated into 30 languages. It won a mountain of awards including the ABIA Literary Fiction Book of the Year and the Victorian Premier's People's Choice Award and is being adapted for film. Her second novel The Good People set in Ireland in 1825 is also being adapted for film and was also critically acclaimed – Paula Hawkins described it ‘a literary novel with the pace and tension of a thriller' which could be applied to Hannah's work as a whole. While all of her novels are very different, they're also tied together by bringing the past alive, and writing about enigmatic people who are often outsiders - and writing about the heart of life – about love and death and suffering. Hannah's new novel Devotion is just out, and readers everywhere will be delighted to hear it's ‘a glorious love story' as Sarah Winman described. It's both lyrical and compelling and Hannah pulls you in from the first page.
Well here we are at episode four of our podcast! And this one is a special edition of Something to Eat and Something to Read where we talk to author Sarah Winman and food writer Emiko Davies about what food means to them and how it shapes their stories. Thank you to Sarah for chatting with us about the kindness of strangers, how being given a meal or a good coffee can make you feel more than your circumstances, how food is memory and place, and how the idea for Still Life found her. Both of us love this book, a true “four course nourishment” that sweeps across four decades of the lives of Ulysses and his friends who become family as they move from England at the end of WW2 to Florence in Tuscany and start a new life. And thank you to Emiko for sharing her story with us too, how she writes about all the senses when writing about food, her food memories, the importance of birthday cake and how she came to be Sill Life's food consultant!

Jinty and Lou are back after a summer break for the second series of Womenkind Collective and they open with a very special guest, Fern Riddell, historian and author of the best-selling Sex Lessons From History. They have a wonderful conversation with Fern and not just about her new book! There's plenty of Collective chat and we announce a new foodie, a new book and we conclude A Year of Marvellous Ways by Sarah Winman.

Dr Fern Riddell is a best-selling author and historian and is the main contributor on BBC's Ripper Street. Fern is a wonderful, open and funny guest. For the entirety of human history, sex has never just been about reproduction. Statistically speaking, only one out of every thousand acts between a man and a woman will result in pregnancy. And as we know, sex does not solely take place between just men and women. So ; what is sex for? Come with Fern and Womenkind Collective as we uncover a bit about the sexual lives of our ancestors. Find out where the word fuck came from and what medieval writers used to describe sex in writings and poetry. Gender fluidity is not a modern concept, Fern explores LGBTQ+ communities through history and we meet amazing characters that are part of our sex history. She celebrates the naturalness and joy of sex, our bodies should be adored, not plastic or manipulated, she is honest and completely open and we learn so much from her. The conversation flowed into sex education for young people today and we talk about #everyonesinvited and how young people today are dealing with far more aggressive abuse from their peers and the stand they are taking against the abuse, we applaud the powerful girls of today. Thank-you Fern for a fabulous chat! Fern gives us her 3 sex lessons from history, she includes Victorian sex toys, and sex talk from the 15th and 16th Century. The Foodie Collective talk love and sex food, what turns you on in the kitchen? Oysters? Caviar? Champagne? Or does the sound of your partner eating make you want to scream? We ask what food gets the girls in the mood for lurve? There's a new WI for Lou from Jinty, a poignant and important invite surrounded with gratitude. A letter of gratitude to someone in your life, who maybe changed it or helped you along the way. Who will Lou write to? The book Collective conclude A Year of Marvellous Ways by Sarah Winman, Jinty has struggled with this book but it has come to her at a very emotional time in her life.

We also delve into boob talk, would you #frretheboob as Gillian Anderson has? We talk about the original girl gang, The Pink Ladies as Paramount announce this week they are making a prequel to Grease centered on the Pink Ladies. Why did male police officers dressed as postal workers handcuff an undressed female student in her bedroom? And we find out what the Collective loved most about Series 1 and listen again to some beautiful tips for life from our guests. Boobs… is it time to free the boob as Gillian Anderson is encouraging women to do? We look into the pros and cons of free boobing and discuss the (intentional) under-boob look that is hot for this summer ??? Kill the Bill and Sarah Everard – what have we learned from a vigil, a demonstration and the right for a voice? The Collective discuss Katie McGoran a student who endured being handcuffed in her bedroom whilst undressed by 4 male police officers. The Book Collective continues with Marvellous's story in ‘A year of Marvellous Ways', by Sarah Winman.

This week we have a special edition of the Womenkind Collective podcast it's all about Menopause! Jinty and Lou talk to the amazing Dr Sarah Ball who answers all your questions on menopause, symptoms, HRT, and everything else we could fit into our hour with her. Do you know where your oestrogen receptors are in your body and why we need oestrogen? You will find all the answers in this podcast, Dr Sarah is fun and factual and we learned so much. There's no book collective this week but Jinty let's us know how she got on with her WI. Dr Sarah Ball is a GP with a special interest in menopause (both personal and professional), she works alongside Dr Louise Newson at Newson Health and has helped so many women understand their menopause journey & gain them access to treatment. We learn that in peri-menopause our ovaries are up and down like toilet seat, so blood tests do not show a true representation of what a women's body is going through, we should instead look at our bodies especially our periods. We talk about risks and benefits of HRT, the different types, and who can take HRT. We find out that peri-menopause is actually the best time to replace our depleting hormones - there is a window of opportunity to take HRT that will massively help our bodies and brains. Dr Sarah kicks the myths out of the pitch with HRT and the study that caused the great debacle and caused so many women to walk away from treatment and suffer for years but the sex hormones we use today are the gold standard, body identical HRT made from wild yams. This really is a one-stop podcast for menopause! Jinty's WI from one of the collective was to make sourdough with the starter, which she did, and it's delicious! We learn some fabulous facts on sourdough and the benefits of eating this type of bread. The Book Collective is having a week off because we didn't want you to miss anything Dr Sarah had to say, but we will continue with ‘A year of Marvellous Ways' by Sarah Winman next week. So if you haven't already, then turn the pages and start this enchanting book. Our 3 brilliant tips this week come from Today's guest, Menopause Specialist Dr Sarah Ball Find out more about The Balance app for menopause https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/balance-menopause-support/id1503345959 Menopause Doctor free resources https://www.menopausedoctor.co.uk/about Sour dough https://foodbodsourdough.com/about-my-recipe/ --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jinty-sheerin/message

In this weeks podcast Jinty and Lou discuss the Ofsted report about sexual harassment in primary and secondary schools that came from Everyone's Invited, a website and Instagram page dedicated to reporting over 50,000 testimonies from survivors of the rape culture centered within schools. We speak to 3 women who learned first hand that sexualisation came directly from their schools. A new `book for the Book Collective this month, ‘A year of Marvellous Ways' by Sarah Winman, We continue with Brain food with a delicious wholesome salad. Jinty and Lou discuss their WI's and the Wine Collective pops open this month's choices. From a comment made by Jinty's daughter we uncover the girl only assemblies that they had to endure. Assemblies that put the responsibility squarely on the female for how boys and male teachers look at them. Wearing a coloured bra that might be seen through a white shirt and having a skirt a little too short, showing (as Nancy says) risqué knees, suddenly made them feel self aware and sexualised. We invite Millie, Nancy and Daisy into the Collective to talk about their experiences of the rape culture that is prevalent within schools. We talk about how wording such as frigid and Slut are commonly used by boys toward the girls. And how it is only now, a few years after leaving school, that they realise how it affected them. We ask the question why it took Ofsted 5 years to act on recommendations made by the governments Women's and Equality Select Committee? The Book Collective talk about the new book, ‘A year of Marvellous Ways' by Sarah Winman a beautiful story about an 89 year old woman called Marvellous, it's set in Cornwall and is a poetic tale of love, loss and human spirit with a little magic. We prepare to read to the end of chapter 11. We continue with Brain Food for the Foodie Collective a tasty salad incorporating all that is good for the brain. The Wine Collective pops the cork and sip their way through this months choices, a white wine from France Picpoul Pinet and the non alcoholic alternative, Gimber a refreshing ginger drink, that has Jinty's taste buds in a whirl. We report back on the WI's with amazing results….except for Lou's food diary!

We are over the moon to welcome best-selling author (and Monica’s dear friend) Libby Page onto the show today! Libby’s first novel The Lido, was described as the “feel-good debut” of 2018, and quickly became a Sunday Times Top Ten Bestseller. The Lido has since been sold in more than 24 territories around the world, and a movie adaptation is also in development. The Lido – which is titled Mornings with Rosemary in the US – tells the story of an unlikely friendship between 26-year-old journalist Kate, and 86-year-old Rosemary. Rosemary has been swimming at the Brixton Lido for most of her life. And when the Lido is threatened with closure, Kate and Rosemary forge a surprise alliance. In the pursuit to save the Lido, both women find themselves impassioned by the strength of the local community, and discover more about themselves than they ever expected. As author Sara Winman wrote The Lido is a “Joyous and uplifting debut - a testament to kindness and friendship”. We both absolutely loved The Lido, and are so excited to chat to Libby about the process of writing her first novel – which comes out in paperback, this spring. We hope you’ll love getting to know Libby, and be inspired by her story, as much as we are!

p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Times} p.p2 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Times; min-height: 14.0px} It’s nice sometimes to read a book just for the delight of it; When God Was a Rabbit is full of delight as well as some wonderful observations on life. I’m sure a lot of you will remember Judy Blume’s wonderful little novel: Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret. Winman’s novel is in that lofty company. It’s a book about a young girl, Elly, and her brother who is five years older than she. Oh, and about a rabbit she is given and without any intention of sacrilege, she names God. Elly often gets into trouble at church, questioning things she should not. When she asks her mother if God loves everyone, “’Of course he does,’ my mother replied.” But her mother is alarmed by the question, and questions further.‘Do you want to talk about anything?’ she asked quietly, reaching for my hand. (She had started to read a book on child psychology from America. It encouraged us to talk about our feelings. It made us want to clam up.) ‘Nope,’ I said again through a small mouth. It had been a simple misunderstanding. All I had suggested was that Jesus Christ had been a mistake, that was all; an unplanned pregnancy.‘Unplanned indeed!’ screamed the vicar. ‘And where did you get such blasphemous filth, you ungodly child?' ‘I don’t know,’ I said, ‘just an idea’When told that God does not love those who question his divine plan, she stops attending church. Elly’s father, a religious skeptic, encourages Elly’ rebellion against religion. “’You don’t have to go to Sunday school or church for God to love you ‘Or for anyone to love you. You know that, don’t you?’ ‘You’ll understand that as you get older,’ he added. But I couldn’t wait that long. I’d already resolved that if this God couldn’t love me, then it was clear I’d have to find another one that could.After befriending an 80 year old man in her neighborhood, she decides she’d like to be Jewish. She and her best friend, Jenny Penny, and her brother form an hilarious threesome as they skip through their youths. When her father wins a football pool and is suddenly a rich man, his life changes little except that he buys a new Mercedes with tinted windows. When Elly’s mother insists that the car is not them, says she won’t ride in it and then insists that either the car goes or she does, and she does.I read this book several weeks ago, and one problem with putting off reviews is that by the time I got to this one, I had forgotten much of the story. Instead of simply going through my underlinings and notes, I started the book over, and was as delighted by it on second reading as on the first. This caused me to recall that whenever I used novels in my classes, I always reread each novel as my students were reading it for the first time, wanting not simply to refresh my memory, but to share in the emotional impact of the books which I could not do simply by writing a description. Winman was an actress before she became a writer, and it is obvious in the script quality of her dialogue. There was no great epiphany, no precise moment when I swapped the spoken word for the written word. I had been acting for twenty-three years and had always written, but mainly in script form, as most actors do.Fortunate for us readers that she decided to write fiction, and fortunate too that her debut novel was this coming of age tale. While simply a lovely frolic for the most part, there are also darker passages when Elly describes the very different home-life of her best friend Jenny Penny. The simplicity of the writing makes believable that it is the story of a young girl, but it also allows for a really lovely naivete, a refreshing and revealing innocence. Elly tell us that she divides her life into two parts, the first before she met Jenny Penny, and the rest after that friendship began to blossom. She featured not at all during this [early] period and I realize she was the colour that was missing. She clasped the years either side of this waiting and held them up as beacons, and when she arrived in class that dull January morning it was as if she herself was the New Year; the thing that offered me the promise of beyond. But only I could see that. Others, bound by convention, found her at best laughable, and at worst someone to mock. She was of another world; different. But by then, secretly, so was I. She was my missing piece; my compliment in play.Elly could have been describing herself here rather than Penny, and for this reader, she opens up a new and refreshing world.

This week on the MashReads Podcast, we read and discuss Ray Bradbury's novel Fahrenheit 451. Then, inspired by the novel, we talk about other books about books. And finally, we end the show with recommendations: Martha recommends Spotify music podcast 'Dissect.' Each season of the podcast focuses in on one music album, devoting each episode in the season to dissecting one song. The show just launched their third season which focuses on Frank Ocean's album 'Blonde.' "It's really, really fascinating. the host takes on each song and breaks down, track by track, the lyrics, the production. It's pretty fantastic." Peter also recommends a podcast: 'The Next Picture Show.' The show is a movie discussion podcast that takes a new movie and puts it in conversation with an older movie that it echoes. "The speak about movies with a level of depth and knowledge that I really hope to possess one day. I really love these voices and these people and I think they're some of the best film reviewers in the world and I am glad I get to listen to them every two weeks. MJ recommends two books. First he recommends 'The Power' by Naomi Alderman, a novel that envisions a world where women suddenly have the power to shoot electricity from their hands. The book then explores what happens when women are given this power that men do not have. "Once I started I could not put it down. What I love about the book is that premise is so simple, but I think the idea is so fully realized." He also recommends 'Tin Man' by Sarah Winman, which follows two characters and looks at love, grief, friendships, and more over the course of their lives. "The book is so emotionally rich. It's beautiful, the entire book feels like poetry."

Inglise näitleja ja kirjaniku Sarah Winmani romaani minajutustajaks on tüdruk nimega Elly, keda ümbritseb kirev galerii kummalisi sugulasi ja tuttavaid. Kõik nad on kenad inimesed, kelle elu pole aga sugugi kerge. Humoorikas laadis kirjeldab Winman, kuidas sellise seltskonna suhterägastikes ellu jääda ja võib-olla koguni õnnelikuks saada. Romaan jutustab vennast ja õest, lapsepõlvest ja suureks saamisest, sõpradest ja perekonnast, võidurõõmust ja kaotuskurbusest ning kõigest, mis sinna vahele jääb. Ennekõike aga jutustab see raamat armastusest igal võimalikul kujul. (Sarah Winman. KUI JUMAL OLI JÄNES. Loeb Kristi Aule.)
