Résultats pour "Adults" dans Littérature et fiction

Jenny McLaine ha trentacinque anni e dovrebbe essere un'adulta, almeno sulla carta. Ha una casa di proprietà e una rubrica nella rivista per cui lavora, ma in realtà la sua vita sta andando a rotoli: ha appena rotto con il fidanzato Art dopo una relazione durata sette anni, la sua migliore amica Kelly si è ufficialmente stancata del suo egocentrismo, e il rapporto ossessivo-compulsivo con i social le sta davvero sfuggendo di mano.

Jenny is unloved, unemployable and emotionally unfiltered. Her long-suffering friends seem sick of her, and whilst her social media portrays her life as a bed of roses, it is more of a dying succulent. Adults is what you want it to be. A misadventure of maturity, a satire on our age of self-promotion, a tender look at the impossibility of womanhood, a love story, a riot. And Emma Jane Unsworth is the only voice to hear it from. Adults is excruciating, a gut punch of hilarity and an audiobook laden with truth that you will listen to again and again.

Claire brings her new boyfriend, Patrick, a seemingly eligible Iron-Man-in-Waiting. Matt brings the new love of his life, Alex - funny, smart and extremely patient. Scarlett, their daughter, brings her imaginary friend Posey. He's a rabbit.

Dr Malcolm Goldblatt has one last chance in the NHS. As the temporary senior registrar of a London hospital, he needs to prove to the medical establishment he can toe the corporate line. But this new hospital is all rather depressingly familiar - from Dr Madic's ferocious aversion to work, Dr Burton's knife-in-the-back ambition, right up to the pathologically insecure yet monstrously vain Professor Small, it is an environment of short tempers, back-biting and office politics - a place in which caring for patients seems secondary to caring for professional reputations.
