Wie wichtig Achtsamkeit, Vertrauen und Wertschätzung für ein glückliches Leben und eine erfüllte Beziehung sind, zeigt der britische Sunday Times-Kolumnist und Autor Andrew Clover in seinem Roman „Das große Glück tanzt auf den kleinen Wellen“. Auf einfühlsame und zugleich unterhaltsame Weise geht er den ganz großen Lebens-Themen und -Fragen auf den Grund. Wie wurde ich zu dem Menschen, der ich heute bin? Wäre ich glücklicher, wenn ich im Laufe meines Lebens andere Entscheidungen getroffen hätte? Diese Fragen muss sich auch Lucy stellen. Sie hat ein schönes Zuhause, einen liebevollen Mann und zwei wunderbare Kinder. Trotzdem wird die Dreiundvierzigjährige das Gefühl nicht los, dass ihre großen Träume und Wünsche irgendwann auf der Strecke geblieben sind. Erst als ein dramatisches Ereignis alles zu zerstören droht, erkennt sie, wie erfüllt ihr bisheriges Leben war. Doch da ist es beinahe zu spät … »Ein Roman über das, was wirklich wichtig ist im Leben.« - Daily Express
„Die Liebe ist ein Reifen, der Luft verliert, mein Freund. Du musst ihn immer wieder aufpumpen und zwischendurch auch mal flicken.“ Für Polly ist Arthur der Ikea-Schrank unter den Männern – auf Fotos sieht er gut aus, aber wenn man ihn bittet, etwas zu halten, bricht er zusammen. Die beiden sind seit zehn Jahren verheiratet und haben drei reizende, aber nervenaufreibende Kinder. Ihre Gefühle füreinander wurden längst im Alltag und unter Wäschebergen erstickt, in Geschirrspülmaschinen ertränkt und in Familienkalendern totorganisiert. Als Arthur für ein Magazin über den Online-Kurs „Learn Love In A Week“ schreibt, fragt er sich, ob seine Ehe noch eine Chance hat. Und wenn man die Liebe tatsächlich in einer Woche lernen kann, verliebt man sich dann auch noch einmal in den eigenen Partner?
'She takes my hand. 'Andrew,' she says, 'let's have children.' I know this is a historic moment. I must respond like a man. So I ignore her...' This wise, intimate, and hilarious book is based on Andrew Clover's much-loved "Sunday Times" columns. He tells stories about how he's coped with all the big parenting issues: sibling rivalry, choosing a school, winning an argument about where you're spending Christmas. He also wrestles with all the big questions: Why do I have no friends anymore? Am I turning into my dad? Will we ever have sex again? He describes the journey he made from reluctant father, to being the happiest man in North London, as he learns from his daughters that, if you want to have fun, you better start playing.
