That Part Was True di Deborah McKinlay

A middle-aged UK divorcee writes to an divorced American author about his food context in the book. And from there we see both of their lives, a bit broken right now and the written letters that go back and forth across the Atlantic. Toward the end, UK Eve finally fesses up to her panic attacks to daughter Izzy and in a letter to Jack, and he understands that's why she can't meet him in Paris. But at the end, she is able to make it to NYC for his book signing.

Lily the Tiller di Deborah McKinlay

If you, like me, enjoy novels with quirky (usually vaguely dissatisfied) characters struggling alone with their problems before they eventually connect, Lily the Tiller is for you. Think Rachel Joyce, Gill Hornby, Phaedra Patrick, Felicity Hayes McCoy, Frederick Backman Katarina Bivald, etc.

In beiden Leben stehen Veränderungen an und diese Briefe haben mitunter eine fast therapeutische Wirkung. Jack sucht nach zwei Ehen eine erwachsene Beziehung und sowas wie Sinn in seinem Leben. Eve versucht ein gutes Verhältnis zu ihrer frisch verlobten Tochter Lizzie zu bekommen und ihre Panikattacken in den Griff zu bekommen. Ich mochte das Buch wirklich sehr.… (altro)
