“Kennedy [is] a ruthless observer and a master of biting irony, with an unerring sense of comedy,” (WDR5 Bücher). She is also a sharp-witted, keenly alert commentator on political developments. In her latest book, Kennedy once again turns her gaze to the hurt life brings. A panic attack in the middle of a London train station, a newlywed woman doubting her decision, a protagonist trying to rebuild her life after losing her husband, daughter, and mother. No matter how dark the subject matter may seem, Kennedy writes with such deep empathy that there is still room for hope and quiet optimism.
