There was not a single character in this book that I liked. Pru is whiny, dependant on others for everything from retuning her car radio to self esteem and personal identity. Azra is spikey and selfish without a care for how her actions effect others. Greg is so wrapped up in his new life with little regard to his former wife and their grown up children. And as for the men that Pru meets in her quest for a new companion ...let's not go there! NEREKOMENDUOJU, jei mėgstate ne tik šiuolaikinės atmosferos kūrinius, bet ir jaunus veikėjus - ši moteris, kad ir kokia charizmatiška, gali jūsų nesužavėti. Taip pat pasvarstykit, kiek drąsiai žvelgiate į atviros meilės apraiškas - ne, čia ne erotinis romanas, bet nepasiruošusius gali netikėtai priploti ne viena scena.

Pastebėjau tendenciją, kad naujausiuose leidyklos „Svajonių knygos“ kūriniuose, kuriuos skaičiau, pagrindinės veikėjos - išskirtinės asmenybės, tokios, kokių nesutiksime jokioje kitoje istorijoje. Pavyzdžiui, Olivė iš „(Ne)viskas įskaičiuota“ ar Marta iš „Regis, man ne viskas gerai“. Ne išimtis, aišku, ir Pru. Nors jai septyniasdešimt, daugelis teigtų, kad jos elgesys lyg kokios gyvybingos dvidešimtmetės, kiti, neabejoju, laikytų ją keistuole, kuriai ne visi namie, tačiau, mano nuomone, ji - puikus pavyzdys visiems, kurie iki šiol daugiau dėmesio skyrė ne sielos amžiui, o tam, kuris užrašytas pase ar gimimo liudijime.

Pru is 70 years old and looking forward to a happy life with husband Gregg in their little cottage in Dorset. Inexplicably, out of the blue, Greg leaves her and the idlyllic life she had planned is in tatters. She descends into a depression and starts questioning her life, and not finding any satisfactory answers. Nepriekaištingai Ignės Aleliūnienės išversta, knyga žavi tiek humoro jausmu, tiek britiškumu, kurį literatūroje taip mėgstu. Nieko čia nėra per daug ir viskuo, net ir pačiais kvailiausiais dalykais, patikėti nesunku. Ir daug kas čia taip paminėta lyg tarp kitko – ai, buvo ir taip. Net kai prisipažinimai sujaukia dangų su žeme ir delne sutraiško sveiką protą, net likučių nepalieka.

Lastly: characterisation. I was disappointed to find the characters read as flat stereotypes for me. For example, there were lines thrown in that were racist or transphobic, with the sole purpose of trying to create a “typical” inappropriate and elderly character. This felt like a lazy injustice and I wish the characters had been developed beyond such problematic tropes. The 15 Best Memes of 2015". Entertainment Weekly's EW.com. Archived from the original on 14 March 2016 . Retrieved 20 March 2016. The author also has a bizarre dislike for the West Midlands!?! "My friend Tabitha gatecrashes weddings...Sod all else to do in Kidderminster." And "You'd brought us a quiche. A quiche. We'd never seen one of those, we were from Dudley." Neither of these anecdotes add anything to the story and in my opinion they discredit the author. Mane maloniai nustebino, kad veiksmas čia įsijungia nuo pirmųjų puslapių ir veikėjai čia nestabdo, neria stačia galva praktiškai į viską, ką sugalvoja, net jei tai būtų pats absurdiškiausias dalykas. Bet kokia tada būtų pramoga? Panašu, kad jokia. Knyga nedidelės apimties, o autorė taip puikiai įpaišo visus veikėjus, netikėtus vingius ir labai kasdienius dalykus, kad knygą norisi perskaityti iškarto, nes tiesiog labai įdomu, kaip viskas pasisuks toliau. O ką jau kalbėti apie humorą! Tikrai vietomis nusijuokdavau balsu.I only finished this book because I have a signed copy. This is one of the worst books I’ve ever read. It’s an embarrassing maze of silliness. At the start it’s easy to relate to Pru’s very sad situation and to feel a great deal of empathy for her. But as the novel unfolds we begin to see her dark side and question if she is in fact a reliable narrator. It starts to make sense why her children are living abroad and never seem to want to visit her.
