A friend of the family : a novel

Tony, Sean, and Ned are the Brothers London. Growing up in a stable, non-dysfunctional household has made for an ideal, neurosis-free upbringing. That was then, this is now. Tony is in the midst of a nasty divorce, and horrified at the pounds he can't keep off. What happend to the sexy guy all the girls wanted? Sean, the family's resident novelist, is up against a serious case of writer's bock and a shocking announcement from his "perfect" new girlfriend. Ned, the baby of the family, has abruptly returned from his adventures in Australia and looks less eager to settle down, but what's the real reason behind his surpise return? To top it all off, a friend of the family--an odd houseguest their mom has taken in--sends everyone's lives into a tailspin!

  • "Drei Männer, sieben Frauen und tausend Probleme Warum ändert sich das Leben oft so rasend schnell? Warum entscheidet sich die Frau, die man so lange liebte, plötzlich für einen anderen? Und warum sind die Freunde, mit denen man so viel Spaß hatte, auf einmal so erwachsen geworden? Diesen Fragen muss sich Ned stellen, der nach einem langen Aufenthalt in Australien zurück nach London kommt und seine kleine Welt völlig verändert vorfindet. Er und seine drei Brüder müssen in einem langen Sommer lernen, dass das Leben nicht nur aus Partys besteht und dass es Wunder immer wieder gibt ... Ein ungewöhnlicher Roman voller Wärme und Tiefgang über das Leben, die Liebe und über ganz besondere Freunde."
  • "Meet the Londons, a family in need of a friend ... Gerry and Bernie London are proud parents of Tony, Sean and Ned, three wayward lads whose lives have suddenly reached crisis points: Newly divorced Tony is fantasizing about someone he really shouldn't; prize-winning novelist Sean's got a hot new girlfriend and a dose of writer's block; and Ned's just back from Australia, without the girl he took with him -- or a clue what he's going to do with his life. If that wasn't enough for one household, the Londons also have a new lodger -- a mysterious rockabilly called Gervase. Will he turn out to be a friend -- or foe -- to the family?"
