    Fås i anden udgave. Isbn: 9788712053675For Franny og Jim var turen til Mallorca med deres to børn og venner oprindeligt tænkt som en slags fest. De har 35-årsbryllupsdag, og deres datter, Sylvia, er netop blevet student. Den solbeskinnede ø med de smukke bjerge, strande og tennisbaner virker da også som det perfekte sted at lægge de spændinger, der ulmende hjemme på Manhattan, bag sig. Men ikke alt går efter planen. Der er knas i Franny og Jims ægteskab, Sylvias bror, Bobby, medbringer sin noget ældre kæreste, som hans mor aldrig har brudt sig om, og Frannys bedste ven, Charles, og hans mand tumler med deres egne problemer, mens de samtidig forsøger at agere mæglere i Post-familien. I løbet af de to uger kommer en lang række hemmeligheder for en dag, ydmygelserne står i kø, og barndommens rivalisering blusser op for fuld kraft. Men heldigvis er der håb forude … Med skæv humor og kolossal kærlighed til sine karakterer leverer Emma Straub en vidunderlig ferieroman om en familie iforandring, om venskab - og ikke mindst kærlighed. Med Feriegæster leverer Emma Straub en helt uimodståelig og skarpt iagttagende roman om de hemmeligheder og glæder og den misundelse, der kommer for en dag i løbet af en newyorker-families to uger lange ferie på Mallorca. Feriegæsterneer den ultimative feel good-sommerbog, skrevet med tilstrækkelig megen kant til, at den skiller sig ud fra mængden af mainstream-ferielæsning! En roman der vil appellere til læsere af f.eks. David Nicholls Samme dag næste år.

From the New York Times bestselling author of Modern Lovers and The Vacationers.When Astrid Strick witnesses a school bus accident in the center of town, it jostles loose a repressed memory from her young parenting days decades earlier. Suddenly, Astrid realizes she was not quite the parent she thought she''d been to her three, now-grown children.

    "Some people think hats are fancy things you can buy at a dressy store, but that's just the tip of the iceberg. In this book, acorns and raspberries are snug hats for your fingers, and an empty pudding cup is a good hat for a stuffed bear. Pajama pants make dangly hats, books can be dramatic hats, and bubbles make very fine hats as well (if temporary). Readers will be delighted to discover that anything can be a hat if you believe it is. Hats are everywhere you look!"--
