Von der hinteren Coverseite

In an original collaboration two award-winning authors, Carol Shields and Blanche Howard, have written an immensely enjoyable novel which gives us both sides of a story about the breakdown of traditional roles, rules and communication in a marriage. A Celibate Season is the story of a married couple, Jocelyn and Charles, and their self-imposed separation of ten months when she accepts a job in a city more than a thousand miles away from her family.
