Román z búrlivého obdobia The Troubles, etnicko-nacionalistického konfliktu v Severnom Írsku, ktorý si vyžiadal množstvo obetí a hlboko zasiahol do životov nevinných ľudí. Uprostred týchto udalostí v bezmennom mestečku dospieva bezmenné dievča, nazývané len stredná sestra, ktoré žije bežným životom osemnásťročnej tínedžerky. Hoci za tých čias a v úzkoprsej komunite tento vek znamená najvyšší čas na vydaj – čo jej pobožná matka dáva značne pocítiť. A tak má stredná sestra plné ruky práce, aby pred ňou a miestnymi sliedičmi utajila nezáväzný a neperspektívny vzťah s asifrajerom. Keď sa jedného dňa navyše stane objektom „romantického“ záujmu významného paramilitanta, oveľa staršieho a ešte k tomu ženatého muža nazývaného mliekar, je o rozruch postarané. Klebety sa šíria ako požiar a dievčina celkom stráca anonymitu – už si nemôže len tak ísť zabehať, čítať za chôdze alebo vyraziť za zábavou do baru. Mliekar na ňu striehne na každom kroku a pre podozrievavé okolie sa stáva nebezpečne zaujímavou...

A shattering and blackly funny debut in the tradition of Roddy Doyle, "No Bones" follows a young woman growing up in a Belfast beset by the Troubles.

Of course, of everybody of whom this particular hero was suspicious, he was most suspicious of femme fatale, of this woman he was in love with.

The new novel from Anna Burns, critically acclaimed author of 'No Bones'.

Menopause is often viewed negatively, marking the end of youth and beauty, but this book redefines it as a transformative phase. It encourages women to embrace this time as an opportunity to become their strongest, fittest selves. Drawing from 25 years of experience as a personal weight-loss coach, the author challenges societal assumptions about aging, promoting the idea that women can maintain a slim physique, lift heavier weights, and preserve their self-image. Empowerment and fitness in mid-life are achievable goals.

In "Größtenteils heldenhaft" von Anna Burns wird humorvoll die Beziehung zwischen einem Superhelden und seiner Femme Fatale beleuchtet, die von Bösewichten mit einem tödlichen Zauber belegt ist. Mit einer schrecklich netten Großtante und dem ewigen Kampf um die Liebe bietet der Roman ein abenteuerliches und witziges Lesevergnügen.
