После развода родителей Лиззи, ее старшая сестра, младший брат и лабрадор Дебби вынуждены были перебраться из роскошного лондонского особняка в кривенький деревенский домик. Вокруг луга, просторы и красота, вот только соседи мрачно косятся, еду никто не готовит, стиральная машина взбунтовалась, а мама без продыху пишет пьесы. Лиззи и ее сестра, обеспокоенные, что рано или поздно их определят в детский дом, а маму оставят наедине с ее пьесами, решают взять заботу о будущем на себя. И прежде всего...

После развода родителей Лиззи, ее старшая сестра, младший брат, лабрадор Дебби и пара пони вынуждены были перебраться из роскошного лондонского особняка в кривенький деревенский домик. Вокруг луга, просторы и красота, вот только соседи мрачно косятся, еду никто не готовит, стиральная машина объявила бунт, а мама без продыху пишет пьесу.

Teenager Lizzie Vogel has a new job as a dental assistant. This is not as glamorous as it sounds. At least it means mostly getting away from her alcoholic, nymphomaniacal, novel-writing mother. But, if Lizzie thinks being independent means sex with her boyfriend (he prefers bird-watching), strict boundaries (her boss keeps using her loo) or self-respect (surely only actual athletes get fungal foot infections?) she's still got a lot more growing up to do. From the bestselling author of...

Susan and Norma have been best friends for years, at first thrust together by force of circumstance (a job at The Pin Cushion, a haberdashery shop in 1990s Leicestershire) and then by force of character (neither being particularly inclined to make friends with anyone else). But now, thirty years later, faced with a husband seeking immortality and Norma out of reach on a wave of professional glory, Susan begins to wonder whether she has made the right choices about life, love, work, and, most...

Working in a care home is not really a suitable job for a schoolgirl but 15-year-old Lizzie Vogel went for it. It just seemed too exhausting to commit to being a full-time girlfriend or a punk (it is the 1970s after all), plus she has some knowledge of old people. They're not suited to granary bread, and you mustn't compare them to toddlers, but she doesn't know there's a right way to get someone out of the bath - or what to do when someone dies. When a rival old...

Meet Lizzie Vogel, 9. Lizzie is concerned about her newly divorced mother; thirty-one years old and trapped in a hostile village in the English countryside with only three young children and a Labrador for company. It isn't that having a husband is good, but in 1970s rural Leicestershire, not having one is bad. The women in the village think Lizzie's mother is after their husbands - and no one will let the children into the Brownies! Worried about their mother's drinking, her...

In 1982 Nina Stibbe, a 20-year-old from Leicester, moved to London to work as a nanny for a very particular family. It was a perfect match: Nina had no idea how to cook, look after children or who the weirdos were who called round. And the family, busy discussing such arcane subjects as how to swear in German or the merits (or otherwise) of turkey mince, were delighted by her lack of skills. Love, Nina is the collection of letters she wrote home gloriously describing her 'domestic'...

From the prize-winning author of Reasons to be Cheerful comes a story about the ebb and flow of female friendship over half a lifetime Susan and Norma have been best friends for years, at first thrust together by force of circumstance (a job at The Pin Cushion, a haberdashery shop in 1990s Leicestershire) and then by force of character (neither being particularly inclined to make friends with anyone else). But now, thirty years later, faced with a husband seeking immortality and Norma out of...

Летняя легкая и непринужденная комедия, очень теплая и добрая. И хотя роман развлекательный, в нем поднимается непростой вопрос о том, как навести мосты между поколениями, как совсем молодые люди и люди преклонного возраста могут не просто найти общий язык, но и объединиться.Лиззи пятнадцать лет, она решает провести летние каникулы с пользой и поработать в доме престарелых - занятие ничем не хуже, чем заделаться панком или целыми днями изнывать от скуки, болтая с подружками. Однако скоро...
