'She says: "Darling let's have children". I know this is a historic moment. I must respond like a man. So I ignore her . . .'Sunday Times columnist Andrew Clover would like to share with you everything he's learned - the hard way - about childcare. Starting at the beginning, by asking why men are so terrified of breeding, he examines every worry a parent is likely to face: How can I make them sleep? How do I choose a good school? Will I ever have sex again? Why should I paint my face like a tiger? Wise and candid, this is the most truthful parenting guide of all time. It's also the funniest and most inspiring read any dad - or mum - could ever hope to read.

Polly has been married to Arthur for ten years when she meets James Hammond. He's her Road Not Taken. The One That Got Away. He's also rich, and in one week he's inviting her to his hotel in the country to give her the job she's always wanted. He also wants her.Polly is so tempted. Arthur is gorgeous, but he's grumpy. He insists he can change, but can he? After ten years, can you learn to love? And if you could, would you still choose your partner?

For fans of Maggie O'Farrell and Jojo Moyes. You have to pop out. You leave the kids. The car crashes. When you wake you are 18 and lying next to your first love. You have the chance to change your past.Would you?

Für Polly ist Arthur der Ikea-Schrank unter den Männern – auf Fotos sieht er gut aus, aber wenn man ihn bittet, etwas zu halten, bricht er zusammen. Die beiden sind seit zehn Jahren verheiratet und haben drei reizende, aber nervenaufreibende Kinder. Ihre Gefühle füreinander wurden längst im Familienalltag und unter Wäschebergen erstickt, in Geschirrspülmaschinen ertränkt und in Familienkalendern totorganisiert. Als Arthur für ein Magazin über den Online-Kurs "Learn Love In A Week" schreibt, fragt er sich, ob seine Ehe noch eine Chance hat. Und wenn man die Liebe tatsächlich in einer Woche lernen kann, verliebt man sich dann auch noch einmal in den eigenen Partner?

Wie wichtig Achtsamkeit, Vertrauen und Wertschätzung für ein glückliches Leben und eine erfüllte Beziehung sind, zeigt der britische Sunday Times-Kolumnist und Autor Andrew Clover in seinem Roman „Das große Glück tanzt auf den kleinen Wellen“. Auf einfühlsame und zugleich unterhaltsame Weise geht er den ganz großen Lebens-Themen und -Fragen auf den Grund.Wie wurde ich zu dem Menschen, der ich heute bin? Wäre ich glücklicher, wenn ich im Laufe meines Lebens andere Entscheidungen getroffen hätte? Diese Fragen muss sich auch Lucy stellen. Sie hat ein schönes Zuhause, einen liebevollen Mann und zwei wunderbare Kinder. Trotzdem wird die Dreiundvierzigjährige das Gefühl nicht los, dass ihre großen Träume und Wünsche irgendwann auf der Strecke geblieben sind. Erst als ein dramatisches Ereignis alles zu zerstören droht, erkennt sie, wie erfüllt ihr bisheriges Leben war. Doch da ist es beinahe zu spät …»Ein Roman über das, was wirklich wichtig ist im Leben." - Daily Express
