    French Braid (eBook, ePUB)
    NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER • From the beloved Pulitzer Prize-winning author-a funny, joyful, brilliantly perceptive journey deep into one Baltimore family's foibles, from a boyfriend with a red Chevy in the 1950s up to a longed-for reunion with a grandchild in our pandemic present. The Garretts take their first and last family vacation in the summer of 1959. They hardly ever leave home, but in some ways they have never been farther apart. Mercy has trouble resisting the siren call of her aspirations to be a painter, which means less time keeping house for her husband, Robin. Their teenage daughters, steady Alice and boy-crazy Lily, could not have less in common. Their youngest, David, is already intent on escaping his family's orbit, for reasons none of them understand. Yet, as these lives advance across decades, the Garretts' influences on one another ripple ineffably but unmistakably through each generation. Full of heartbreak and hilarity, French Braid is classic Anne Tyler: a stirring, uncannily insightful novel of tremendous warmth and humor that illuminates the kindnesses and cruelties of our daily lives, the impossibility of breaking free from those who love us, and how close-yet how unknowable-every family is to itself.

    French Braid
    The major new novel from the beloved prize-winning author -- a brilliantly perceptive, painfully true and funny journey deep into one family's foibles, from the 1950s right up to the changed world of today When the kids are grown and Mercy Garrett gradually moves herself out of the family home, everyone is determined not to notice. Over at her studio, she wants space and silence. She won't allow any family clutter. Not even their cat, Desmond. Yet it is a clutter of untidy moments that forms the Garretts' family life over the decades, whether that's a painstaking Easter lunch or giving a child a ride, a fateful train journey or an unexpected homecoming. And it all begins in 1959, with a family holiday to a cabin by a lake. It's the only one the Garretts will ever take, but its effects will ripple through the generations. 'Exquisitely crafted, tender, hilarious, devastatingly precise, I loved this powerful meditation on the small and often unvoiced moments that can make up a life' RACHEL JOYCE 'Such joyous immersion, I lost myself, and loved this superbly imperfect family' TESSA HADLEY 'A faultless novel, effortlessly profound. I read it in two sittings, totally immersed' VICTORIA HISLOP 'If Anne Tyler isn't the best writer in the world, who is?' BBC RADIO 4 WOMAN'S HOUR 4 WOMAN'S HOUR

    David Garrett (eBook, PDF)
    Er ist der Popstar der Klassik, der Geiger mit dem Aussehen eines Models: David Garrett hat in wenigen Jahren den Aufstieg aus dem scheinbaren Nichts zum weltweiten Superstar geschafft. Doch hinter der strahlenden Fassade des Stars verbirgt sich eine Lebensgeschichte mit vielen Facetten. Diese Biografie bringt Licht in die Jugendjahre des einstigen Wunderkindes, das schon im Alter von 13 Jahren den ersten Plattenvertrag bekam und mit den Großen der klassischen Musik auf der Bühne stand - aber in seiner Kindheit und Jugend keine Zeit für Freundschaften hatte. Das schwierige Verhältnis zu den stets fordernden Eltern wird ebenso beleuchtet wie Garretts vorübergehender Abschied von der Musik, die Flucht ins Ausland und der erfolgreiche Weg zurück ins Rampenlicht. Ein Buch, das nicht nur Fans gerne lesen werden.
