A razor-sharp observation of reinvention and the perilous act of growing up - at any age. Dry as a martini, occasionally messy, and with more than one pair of metaphorical pants on fire, Ani Corné's novel is not only a very entertaining romantic comedy, but pure satire reminiscient of British playright Noël Coward's wit and fast paced dialogue.The book unfolds like a play in front of the reader's inner eye. For romantics and cynics alike, and those clever enough to be both.
Benedikt von Karbroich - marketing tycoon, seasoned seducer, and occasional wearer of cashmere loungewear - has spent the better part of three decades evading anything with emotional depth. His hobbies include charm, denial, and strategic escapes.Enter Inez Bellavista: an Italian artist with a sketchbook, a moral compass, and absolutely no interest in being anyone's midlife epiphany.What follows is a civilised collision of genders, generations, and general misunderstandings.German edition coming soon!: Deutscher Titel: Der mit den Frauen tanzt Eine Midlife-Crisis wie aus dem Bilderbuch.Zu viele Frauen. Zu wenig Einsicht.Eine messerscharfe Beobachtung von Neuerfindung und dem riskanten Akt des Erwachsenwerdens - in jedem Alter. Trocken wie ein Martini, mitunter chaotisch und mit mehr als einer metaphorisch brennenden Hose, ist Ani Cornés Roman nicht nur eine äu erst unterhaltsame romantische Komödie, sondern auch eine Satire, die an den Witz und die flotten Dialoge des britischen Dramatikers Noël Coward erinnert. Das Buch entfaltet sich wie ein Theaterstück vor dem inneren Auge des Lesers. Für Romantiker und Zyniker gleicherma en und für all jene, die klug genug sind, beides zu sein.Benedikt von Karbroich - Marketing-Mogul, geübter Verführer und gelegentlicher Träger von Kaschmir-Hausanzügen - hat die letzten drei Jahrzehnte damit verbracht, allem mit emotionaler Tiefe konsequent auszuweichen. Seine Spezialgebiete: Charme, Verdrängung und taktischer Rückzug.Dann trifft er auf Inez Bellavista: italienische Künstlerin mit Skizzenbuch, moralischem Kompass und null Interesse daran, irgendjemandes spätes Aha-Erlebnis zu sein.Es folgt ein zivilisiertes Aufeinanderprallen von Geschlechtern, Generationen und gegenseitigen Irrtümern.
