Die Heldinnen in Jane Campbells Debüt lassen sich nicht aussortieren und kaltstellen, nur weil sie »alt« sind und ihre Familien keine Verwendung mehr für sie haben. Susan verliebt sich zunächst heimlich, dann mit fliegenden Fahnen in ihre schöne, fünfzig Jahre jüngere Pflegerin und stellt gleich mehrere Leben auf den Kopf. Martha findet einen Weg, ihren Hausroboter mit Aufpassfunktion zu manipulieren und Rache an denen zu nehmen, die sie kontrollieren wollen. Und eine rüstige Herzensbrecherin wirft ihre jüngste Eroberung gleich seinem eigenen Hund zum Fraß vor.

The book contains 17 beautiful stories. In the first chapter, the writer has explained the beauty and serenity of the canal of Utrecht.
