Die blutjunge Jo ist schwanger von einem Matrosen, der wieder in See sticht. Sie plant, das Kind gemeinsam mit ihrem homosexuellen Freund Geof aufzuziehen - wären da nicht ihre Mutter, eine launische Alkoholikerin und Gelegenheitsprostituierte, und die schwarze Hautfarbe des Kindsvaters ... Mit 18 Jahren schreibt Shelagh Delaney (1938-2011) ihr erstes Theaterstück. Es wird ein Welterfolg und revolutioniert als modernes Sozialdrama die Bühnen. 1958 hat "A Taste of Honey" in London Premiere. Es läuft u.a. am Broadway und wird 1961 verfilmt. Ein zweites Stück namens "The Lion in Love" (1960), das von vermeintlich "kleinen Leuten" in einer großen Industriestadt erzählt, folgt. Schließlich publiziert die Autorin den in seiner phantastischen Bilderwucht und spröden Schönheit ans Kino der Nouvelle Vague erinnernden Prosaband "Sweetly sings the donkey" (1964), der nicht nur in den Kosmos der Erniedrigten und Beleidigten im nordenglischen Arbeitermilieu abtaucht, sondern auch in wundersame, zerbrechliche Kinderwelten. Sie führt uns in ein skurriles Erholungsheim an der stürmischen Küste und lässt uns an einer aberwitzigen Busfahrt teilnehmen. Figuren wie der Außenseiter Tom Riley treten auf, der sein Anderssein mit dem Leben bezahlt, ein junger Minenarbeiter, der ein kurzes Glück als Tänzer findet, sadistische Lehrer, Spione und nicht zuletzt Delaney selbst, die gegen die Vorurteile und Widersprüche ihrer Zeit ankämpft - einer Zeit, die der unseren verblüffend nah ist. Shelagh Delaneys Erzählungen und Stücke erscheinen gesammelt in der vollständigen Neu- bzw. Erstübersetzung des Schriftstellers und Übersetzers Tobias Schwartz, der diese kleine kommentierte Werkausgabe gemeinsam mit dem Anglisten André Schwarck herausgibt. Das Buch bietet erstmals die Möglichkeit, Shelagh Delaney als Klassikerin der modernen britischen Literatur in all ihren Facetten kennenzulernen.

Unexpectedly original for a mafia book. I thought I read them all but I loved Emmy's personality. I liked her toughness and that she didn't give into the three hassholes, Ares, Hades and Vulc. Emmy and her mom were on the run for over a year when they found refuge with The Pantheon. Her mom reconnects with an old HS friend and while Emmy tries to keep to herself. Ares, Hades, and Vulc notice how different Emmy is from the girls they're used to and instantly want to get to know her and protect. But Emmy and her mom have more secrets then the boys knew and protecting her becomes a full time job. Will they get any benefits from being her bodyguards? High heat with a good storyline. Triggers of kidnapping and abuse.

Definitely worth a read
Format: Kindle
This book was everything. It was heart-wrentching, funny, thrilling, sweet, everything. You'll be angry. You'll be sad. You'll be shocked. So much happens and so much is still yet to be explained. I loved it. From the beginning, I was interested in Emmy as a character. She's extremely relatable. She's realistic. She has reactions and feelings that make sense! The boys will make you want to throw things sometimes, but they'll worm their way into your heart eventually. And that ending! Yes! Loved it

Was a great read. What a fantastic Hidden Gem I hope doesn't stay hidden. This was a great darkest reverse harem. The FMC was kidnapped in abuse in her past her and her mom are staying on the property of a different Mafia that uses Greek names. Hiding there for safety. The only person that knows is the leader's wife who is friends with the fmc's mom from high school. The FMC gets involved with the leader son and his two friends. They're all written really well Aries definitely stands out he's a really well-written great character. But I like them all. There is some other woman drama, so heads up there. But I would call this like a medium burn. They get together this book and there are some spicy steamy scenes. But I'm really here for the plot the plot is great the characters are great. I kind of had a feeling of one of the thing is going down from the title of the next book and just a feeling that I got. There are multiple povs it's more the fmc's point of view but we got the guys povs only need them which I really liked. I really love the story it's really enjoyable I'm so excited for next book and I'm really excited to see that the authors would be putting out a book every month after this book I can say I'm excited to read anything that she writes I'm hoping they're all RH. There were some like typos spelling errors but it did not hinder my reading experience. Just Small Things having someone do a once-over on could pick up. But honestly like it's is a five-star read in an extremely impressive debut and even if it wasn't a debut I would say it's impressive. It's hard to balance a story with this type of feel a lot of times I think it came out really well and I'm completely enthralled I can't wait for more highly recommend

Though a familiar trope, it had these teases of intrigue that are enough to keep the story interesting to pull the reader to keep reading, to invest in the plot. Enemies (bullies)-to- lovers, mafia, and RH tropes are all so overworked that there is very little new in the way of a storyline. While I can't say this story is utterly unique, I found myself enjoying the characters and their dynamics together. I look forward to seeing how things go from here between the guys and Emmy, and even how Paloma will fair.

awesome

I’ve never read a book by this author before, but she knocked it out of the park! Thanks so much for thinking of us readers who are left with book hangovers and just need the next book in the series. I just downloaded the next one. I don’t normally write reviews but this author needs to be out there so everyone can find her. Great book, excellent characters and pacing. Wonderful storyline.
