Desperate Characters

Sophie und Otto sind ein wohlhabendes, kinderloses New Yorker Ehepaar, deren Leben nahezu perfekt erscheint. Doch ein so banales Ereignis wie der Biss einer streunenden Katze offenbart die Zerbrechlichkeit dieser Idylle.
Die Autorin behandelt Themen wie Selbstbetrug, Liebe, Angst und Scham eindrucksvoll und realistisch. In Amerika, wo der Roman bereits 1970 erschien, gilt "Desperate Characters" bereits als moderner Klassiker.
