Der neue Roman von Nummer-1-SPIEGEL-Bestsellerautorin Ildikó von Kürthy: mitreißend, warmherzig und witzig. Ein lebenskluger Roman für und über Frauen, die aus dem Schatten treten, zerstörerische Beziehungen beenden und endlich die Bühne ihres eigenen Lebens erobern.Ein zerrissenes Foto bringt die Wahrheit ans Licht. Es ist die Momentaufnahme eines Verrats, der vier Schicksale miteinander verbindet, sie zusammenführt und mit den unbequemen Fragen der Lebensmitte konfrontiert: loslassen oder festhalten? Wer bin ich, wenn ich niemandem mehr gefallen will, und wo will ich hin, wenn ich mir von niemandem mehr sagen lasse, wo es langgeht? Ruth flieht mit dem Foto und ihrem viel zu großen Hund in die alte Villa der Großeltern. Dort trifft sie nach Jahren des Schweigens auf ihre Schwester, erkennt die Lüge, die sie entzweit, und das Verbrechen, das ihr Leben bestimmt hat. Sie schließt Rudi in ihr Herz, der sich im ersten Stock mit sanftmütiger Tapferkeit auf seinen Tod vorbereitet, aber vorher noch ein letztes Mal für Ordnung sorgen will. Sie begegnet Erdal, der unter Wechseljahresbeschwerden leidet und aus Versehen eine folgenschwere Entscheidung trifft, als er seine Cousine in die Villa einlädt. In schneller Abfolge gehen eine Nase und etliche Illusionen zu Bruch. Ruth tritt aus dem Schatten ihrer Vergangenheit. Und das Ende ist eigentlich erst der Anfang. «Ein Buch für alle, die Sehnsucht nach Freiheit haben!» Maria Furtwängler«Ildikó vermittelt in ihren Texten, wie auch im Leben, immer das berauschende Gefühl von Lebensfreude und Zuversicht. Sie nimmt sich ernst, aber nicht zu ernst. Sie wagt neue Wege und lädt uns dazu ein, sie zu begleiten. Ihre Botschaft: Lasst es uns probieren! Aufbruch und Neubeginn. Morgen kann kommen!» Bettina Böttinger

Spartacus and his ragtag army take on the mighty Roman army in Ben Kane's brilliant recreation of one of the best-known epics of the modern era Spartacus has already done the impossible-not only has he escaped from slavery, he and his seconds have created a mighty slave army that has challenged Rome and defeated the armies of three praetors, two consuls, and one proconsul. On the plain of the River Po, in modern Northern Italy, Spartacus has defeated Gaius Cassius Longinus, proconsul and general of an army of two legions. Now the road home lies before them-to Thrace for Spartacus, and to Gaul for his seconds-in-command, Castus and Gannicus. But storm clouds are gathering on the horizon. One of Spartacus's most powerful generals has defected, taking his men with him. Back in Rome, the immensely rich Marcus Licinius Crassus is gathering an unheard-of Army. The Senate has given Crassus an army made up of ten legions and the authority to do whatever it takes to end the slave rebellion once and for all. Meanwhile, Spartacus wants to lead his men over the Alps and home, but his two seconds have a different plan. They want to march on Rome itself and bring the Republic to its knees. Rebellion has become war. War to the death.
