This is what: the young businesswoman Kate Powell is successful with both feet in life. Only one wish remained unfulfilled until now: a baby. An anonymous donor is for them not in question. So is Kate on an ad to find a suitable father. Alex Turner seems the perfect candidate ...
So it is: For the first time a woman is the focus of a Beckett novel. That this approach is new for Beckett, and you find "Wife" but did not. Beckett draws his characters again very sharp and has a great story here about longings and fears spun with a shocking conclusion.
