Bachelor boys

As the child of remote, chilly parents, Cassie reveled in the exuberant chaos she found at the home of the Darlings'two boys, a cheerful father, and a glorious mother, Phoebe, who welcomed the lonely little girl next door into their family circle. Now Cassie is all grown up, the editor of a highly respectable literary magazine, with a well-ordered life and a suitable boyfriend. But her beloved Phoebe is dying and comes to Cassie with one last request: Will Cassie help find wives for her sons, two gorgeous, sexy, but wildly impractical bachelors still living in their mother's basement flat' Heartbroken at the thought of losing Phoebe, Cassie cannot refuse'but how will she ever find decent girlfriends, let alone wives, for the Darling boys' It's all very well for Phoebe to insist they are lovely boys who are absolutely sweet to their mother, but who else would see either one as husband material: Fritz, a handsome medical student turned unemployed actor; or Ben, a dreamy, soulful musician who is too "sensitive" to perform or teach' Even Cassie, she tells Phoebe firmly right from the start, is not prepared to marry one of these bachelor boys. ... Kate Saunders has written a story about love and loss that is moving, wise, and wickedly funny.

  • "Ben und Frederick sind charmant, gutaussehend und völlig unwiderstehlich. Leider sind sie auch unordentlich, jeglicher Arbeit abgeneigt und komplett nutzlos. Cassie dagegen ist sehr organisiert - bei Job, Freund, Karriere. Sie kennt die Jungs schon seit ihrer Kindheit. Die Mutter der beiden, Phoebe, erfährt, dass sie nicht mehr lange zu leben hat. Sie bittet Cassie, für ihre Söhne passende Ehefrauen zu suchen. Cassie kann Phoebe diesen letzten Wunsch nicht abschlagen. Aber wie soll sie ihre anspruchsvollen Freundinnen davon überzeugen, es mit Ben und Frederick zu probieren? Und warum hat sie das dumme Gefühl, bei ihren Kuppelversuchen etwas Wichtiges zu übersehen?"
  • "Cassie Shaw lives an organised life: good job, respectable boyfriend, own flat. However, one part of her life is anything but organised, and that's her love for the extraordinary Darling family: her childhood friends Fritz and Ben, and their mother, Phoebe, who took the young Cassie in and transformed her life. But now Phoebe is ill and she asks Cassie for a very special favour. Concerned about what will happen to her beloved boys, she wants Cassie to find them wives. Cassie can't refuse but it's a tall order. Fritz and Ben have grown from delightful children into terrible adults. They're utterly charming and ridiculously sexy, but also totally unemployable and irretrievably useless. Surely no intelligent woman could be persuaded to take one of them on for life?"
  • "Having spent much of her childhood with her loving next-door neighbors rather than her cold, remote parents, Cassie makes a deathbed promise to her neighbor that she will help the family's impractical sons to find loving wives."
