Die perfekte Freundin

Weston loves Paige, but when it comes to getting married, she demands a sacrifice from him. He's supposed to break up with his longtime girlfriend - and ex-flame - Jillian, who Paige has always found a little too engaging, too dazzling, in short: too dangerous. Weston puts up a fight. But doesn't that prove that Paige is hitting the mark with her demand? Few writers have mastered the ability to escalate conflict as imperceptibly and thoroughly as Lionel Shriver. "This woman simply can't write a sentence that isn't intelligent.... Lionel Shriver has the eye of a John Updike or a Patricia Highsmith." The Times "Lionel Shriver cleverly probes what actually constitutes friendship between a man and a woman." Brigitte.
