Описание и характеристики
A new relationship couldn't have come at a better time - her thirties have not been the liberating, uncomplicated experience she was sold. Everywhere she turns, she is reminded of time passing and opportunities dwindling. Friendships are fading, ex-boyfriends are moving on and, worse, everyone's moving to the suburbs. There's no solace to be found in her family, with a mum who's caught in a baffling mid-life makeover and a beloved dad who is vanishing in slow-motion into dementia.
Dolly Alderton's debut novel is funny and tender, filled with whip-smart observations about relationships, family, memory, and how we live now.

Призраки
Это захватывающее произведение, и уже не первая книга Долли Олдертон, которую я прочитала. После прочтения есть над чем задуматься разным возрастным группам читателей. Я думаю, что оно особенно понравится читателям двадцати и тридцати с небольшим лет. Сюжет прост, интересен, очень жизненный. Понравилось реалистичное изображение важных моментов в жизни. От изучения вопросов рождения детей до управления карьерой, преодоления кризиса среднего возраста и ухода за пожилыми родителями. Само название, «призраки», имеет здесь многогранный смысл. Может быть заложен смысл и «люди из прошлого», и «гостинг» (в дружбе и отношениях). Читается быстро, несмотря на большое количество сленговых слов (Британский английский). Роман, который определенно стоит прочесть.
Nina Dean has arrived at her early thirties as a successful food writer with loving friends and family, plus a new home and neighbourhood. When she meets Max, a beguiling romantic hero who tells her on date one that he's going to marry her, it feels like all is going to plan.
