A great book with the question we've all asked ourselves at some point "what if" ?
That`s exactly what Nora has to ask herself. Can she find her "dream life"?

About chances, possibilities and self-discovery.
I loved this book and I really recommend it to everyone.

Intimate & tender.
While reading Normal People I felt very close to Connell and Marianne. Sally Rooney´s ability to capture these moments and feelings is extraordinary and at times this novel moved me to tears.
Normal People is now one of my favourite books and in my opinion, it deserves the hype it receives.

One of my all time favorite books, who introduces one to the beautiful world of poetry, while covering themes such as parental and academic expectations and the pressure that comes with it, first loves and many more hardships one has while growing up to become an adult. I'll always love this book for showing me the beauty of poetry.

A thoughtful book that shows what makes life worth living. This book explores how the aspects of the everyday that we may consider the "little things" make existence what it is, not because they're delicious or fun or even meaningful, but because they connect us with the people and world around us.
While I was reading it, this book warmed my heart while simultaneously breaking it. This is such a poignantly and elegantly told story.

This book is breathtaking, beautiful and the perfect read for every (greek) mythology nerd!

Ein Einblick in die Beziehungen und das Denken der Millenianls und der Generation ab 30. Die Gespräche geben den Figuren Tiefe und dem eigentlich handlungsarmen Buch Schwung.!

Epic! I could not put it down. A fantasy world like I haven't read in a long time.

The Handmaid's Tale is a carefully crafted story inspired by real historical happenings which makes the novel even more horrifying.
A must-read!

A dystopian and tragic story about a humanity that can cure any disease. For this, they need clones. But as dark as this sounds, it isn't a book about revolution or one with a creepy plot. It's more like a mediation and nostalgic story about identity and acceptance.

A beautiful written book about a man, who has lived for centuries.
He is only getting older very slowly, not like all the other humans.
How can he save himself..? Is love the key to all of it?!
I really can recommend this book to anyone, who has read and loved "The Midnight Library" from the same author Matt Haig.

A sweet romance.
Not as predictable as you might expect, the idea of ?bed sharing? is a cute concept, which Beth O?Leary just runs with.
Completely addictive and leaves a soppy smile on your face!

The recipe here might sound well-known: Six characters on the fringe of society form an alliance to spring someone out of an impenetrable prison. But: Leigh Bardugo makes her characters come alive with a few well-written words - and then the structure, pacing and imagined world here takes over and delivers a wild ride! Heist Fantasy done right!

A journey through England, but at the same time a journey into the past of Mr Stevens, butler of Darlington Hall.
Kazuo Ishiguro is a master of in-depth character studies and the way in which this story is constructed and told is just impressive.

A short fun read, which I especially recommend to folks who work in the service industry or in retail. It's also a good read for people, who sometimes feel a bit behind in life and whose live may differ from the societal norm.

This book is about healing and second chances. The story was angsty, emotional, powerful! It started as like soft, laugh out loud, entertaining comedy but it turned into a intense, tear jerker, heartfelt read.
Perfect for a hot summer day! Maybe not the best feel-good-beach-read out there, but a realistic romance with all the ups and downs.

Obaro writes in simple yet beautiful language about three different women who meet while studying in Lagos, Nigeria and get caught up the treacherous maelstrom of growing up.
I would've liked to read more, yet after finishing the book, one feels wonderfully entertained and at the same time deeply touched.

Jennifer Saint gives the women from the Iliad what they deserve:
a voice to tell their stories.
"Elektra" is a compelling and emotional novel - even if you have not read any mythological retellings before.

A sapphic story so bizarre and hilarious I couldn't put it down! The characters are weird and everything but perfect, the story absurd, in some moments serious and still sweet in others.
All in all a wonderful read!

The dynamic between the protagonist and the old lady she lives with is hilarious and heartbreaking at the same time.
Also there are cats.

I finally got convinced to read this and now I know why!
Rothfuss created a fascinating world with even more fascinating characters. This book had me at the edge of my seat so many times and I couldn't put it down.
However, now that I'm hooked on it, I join a fanbase yearning for the 3rd and final book in this series...

This is exactly the kind of pure, delightful, and sweet read everyone needs right now.
O'Leary has a remarkable talent in writing with charm, wit and hilarity whilst creating the kind of characters you cannot help but adore.

This much lauded debut is at times ponderous, at times highly entertaining. It is part psychological thriller, part chronicle of a debauched, wasted youth.

A group of smart, eccentric misfits at an elite New England college discover a way of thinking and living that is far removed from their modern day surroundings under the influence of a charismatic classics professor.

When they cross the border of normal morality, they go from obsession to corruption, betrayal, and eventually to evil...

The great Greek myth from a woman's point of view.
The tragic story about the fates of Ariadne and Phaedra, who both loved the same hero, but were both betrayed by him.
A fascinating retelling.

Two rivals strike up a correspondance through time and space, that slowly turns from taunting to something careful and genuine. Savour their letters bit by bit and hope they both make it in the end - despite everything.

A brilliant book about three sibling who decide to live very different lifes...
A worthy winner of the Women's Prize for Fiction.

Luster is far from happy. It is a messy story and it made me uncomfortable, but I couldn?t put it down.
It?s an interesting and well-written book about loneliness and how to find your way in this world we are living in.

One of the best books I've read in a long time.

A gripping tale of violence, poverty and corruption spanning three decades of political unrest, gang rule and reggae music. Don't miss this marvel!

Über die Autorin/den Autor

Capote, Truman

Truman Capote was born in New Orleans in 1925 and was raised in various parts of the south, his family spending winters in New Orleans and summers in Alabama and New Georgia. By the age of fourteen he had already started writing short stories, some of which were published. He left school when he was fifteen and subsequently worked for the New Yorker which provided his first - and last - regular job. Following his spell with the New Yorker, Capote spent two years on a Louisiana farm where he wrote Other Voices, Other Rooms (1948). He lived, at one time or another, in Greece, Italy, Africa and the West Indies, and travelled in Russia and the Orient. He is the author of many highly praised books, including A Tree of Night and Other Stories (1949), The Grass Harp (1951), Breakfast at Tiffany's (1958), In Cold Blood (1965), which immediately became the centre of a storm of controversy on its publication, Music for Chameleons (1980) and Answered Prayers (1986), all of which are published by Penguin. Truman Capote died in August 1984.
