LONGLISTED FOR THE WOMEN’S PRIZE FOR FICTION An uplifting story of friendship, heartbreak, and finding your own voice in our chaotic, often deafening world—for fans of David Nicholls Miriam hasn't left her house in three years and cannot raise her voice above a whisper. But today she has had enough and is finally ready to rejoin the outside world. Meanwhile, Ralph has made the mistake of opening a closet door, only to discover with a shock that his wife Sadie doesn't love him, and never has. And so he decides to run away. Miriam and Ralph's chance meeting in a wood during stormy weather marks the beginning of an amusing, restorative friendship, while Sadie takes a break from Twitter to embark on an intriguing adventure of her own. As their collective story unfolds, each of them seeks to better understand the objects of their affection, and their own hearts, timidly refusing to stand still and accept the chaos life throws at them. Filled with wit and sparkling prose, Whispers Through a Megaphone explores our attempts to meaningfully connect with ourselves and others, in an often deafening world—when sometimes all we need is a bit of silence.
Als sie nach über dreißig Jahren an den Strand von St. Ives zurückkehrt, wird die Freerunnerin Sydney nicht nur mit dem schmerzhaftesten Moment aus ihrer Vergangenheit konfrontiert, sondern begegnet auch einer Reihe skurriler Menschen, deren Leben um keinen Deut weniger chaotisch ist als ihres: Zahntechnikerin Maria backt Muffins mit heilenden Kräften, Buchhändler Dexter ist mit der Liebe durch und trägt manchmal gerne Kleider, und Belle wohnt mit Ende zwanzig noch immer bei ihren Eltern und führt das Hängebauchschwein der Nachbarn aus. Sie alle eint die Frage, wer eigentlich bestimmt, wann unser Leben einen Sinn hat. Ihre Schicksale verweben sich zu einer ermutigenden Geschichte darüber, wie man weitermachen kann, wenn die eigene Welt sich nicht mehr dreht. Bären füttern verboten ist ein tröstlicher, hoffnungsvoller und zuweilen humorvoller Roman über Trauer, den Umgang damit – und über Neuanfänge.
