    Lucy stole her friend Rose's "happily ever after" because she wanted Rose's husband - and Lucy always gets what she wants. Big mistake. Rose was the ideal wife and is the ideal mother; Lucy was the perfect mistress. Rose doesn't have the vocabulary to describe Lucy. A devoted single mum, she fills her life with labeling school uniforms, organic vegetables, and car runs for extracurricular activities. She's an exemplary mother, but the boys seem to need her less and less, and without them, she wonders what she amounts to. Both Lucy and Rose envy Connie, who is happily married and is effortlessly balancing two kids with a fulfilling career - until a dangerous old flame flickers back into view at the school gates and threatens her marriage. All three of these women need more than blind belief to negotiate their way through modern life. Things can only get better...or worse. Language: English.

    To this day, China remains an enigma. Ancient, complex, and fast moving, it defies easy understanding. Ever since he was a boy, Alexandre Trudeau has been fascinated by this great country. Recounting his experiences in the China of recent years, Trudeau visits artists and migrant workers, townspeople and rural farmers. Often accompanied by a young Chinese journalist, Vivien, he explores realities caught in time between the China of our memories and the thrust of progress. The China he seeks out lurks in hints and shadows. It flickers dimly amidst all the glare and noise. The people he encounters along the way give up but small secrets yet each revelation comes as a surprise that jolts us from our preconceived ideas and forces us to challenge our most secure notions. Barbarian Lost, Trudeau's first book, is an insightful and witty account of the dynamic changes going on right now in China, as well as a look back into the deeper history of this highly codified society. On the ground with the women and men who make China tick, Trudeau shines new light on the country as only a traveler with his storytelling abilities could. ungekürzt. Language: English.
