Sutcliffe William Boeken

Liz reist met Dave naar India omdat ze behoefte heeft aan gezelschap tijdens haar spirituele zoektocht naar het diepste wezen van haar ziel. Dave reist met Liz naar India omdat hij met haar naar bed wil. Al snel realiseert Dave zich dat hij een vreselijke fout heeft gemaakt. Hij kan de hitte niet verdragen, hij vindt het Indiase eten smerig, hij wordt somber van de armoede, hij heeft een hekel aan de toeristen - en hij haat Liz. En Liz? Ze is hopeloos verliefd op India, op de bedelaars, op alle nieuwe mensen in haar leven: Jeremy (die zich Indiër tussen de Indiërs voelt), Jonah (die al tien jaar geen schoenen draagt omdat 'het onmenselijk is het contact met de aarde te verliezen') en vooral Fi en Car (die drie maanden lang lepralijders verzorgden in Udaipur). William Sutcliffe schetst een hilarisch beeld van deze rugzaktoeristen die ver van huis op zoek zijn naar zichzelf. 'Ben je ervaren?' is een meesterlijke satire op hun zelfgekozen lijden - en een weldaad voor de thuisblijvers.

Zes jonge mensen - drie mannen, drie vrouwen - verlangen ernaar een groots en meeslapend leven te leiden. Maar wat (of wie) willen ze eigenlijk? Ze raken verstrikt in een web van liefde en lust, ze storten zich in een serie geslaagde en minder geslaagde amoureuze uitspattingen, successen en mislukkingen, en dan is er maar een klein vonkje voor nodig om de vlam in de pan te laten slaan.

"The Palestine Festival of Literature was established in 2008. Bringiong together writers from all corners of the globe, it aims to help Palestinians break the cultural siege imposed by the Isreali military occupation, to strengthen their artistic links with the the rest of the world."--Book flap

Roll up, roll up! The circus comes to town in this hilariously wacky adventure from bestselling author William Sutcliffe.

Shortlisted for the Laugh Out Loud Book Awards 2023! A fresh, funny, heartfelt look at this generation's must-win battle: one earth, one chance. It's the summer holidays, and thirteen-year-old Luke's life has been turned upside down. First his older sister Rose moved 'across the road', where a community of climate rebels is protesting the planned airport expansion. Then his dad followed her. Dad only went to get Rose back, but now he's out there building totem poles, wearing sandals and drinking mead (whatever that is) with the best of them... Can Luke save his family when all they want to do is save the planet? ________________________ 'Hilarious, acutely observed and deeply felt, Sutcliffe's new novel is part biting satire on nimbyism and adult complacency, part impassioned call: take action now, before it's too late.' GUARDIAN 'This is the perfect book to inspire action against the climate crisis and to lift your spirits.' SCOTSMAN 'A heartfelt, well-observed, gripping family drama, as well as a call to arms.' SUNDAY TIMES Children's Book of the Week

SUNDAY TIMES CHILDREN'S BOOK OF THE YEAR 2019 Laugh-out-loud funny and instantly recognisable - not since The Inbetweeners has a coming of age story been so irreverent and relatable. Fifteen-year-old Sam is not a famous vlogger, he's never gone viral, and he doesn't want to be the Next Big Thing. In fact he's ordinary and proud of it. None of which was a problem until Dad got rich and Mum made the whole family move to London. Now Sam's off to the North London Academy for the Gifted and Talented, where everyone's busy planning Hollywood domination or starting alt-metal psychedelica crossover bands. Sam knows he'll never belong, even if he wanted to. And that's before he ends up on stage wearing nothing but a fur onesie ... A brilliantly funny look at fitting in, falling out and staying true to your own averageness. 'Dangerously funny ... To the parent, every line rings true -- this is a writer with real live teenagers and he is especially good on the ups and downs of sibling relations and young love. Sutcliffe is gifted and talented. I hope the prizes flood in. I'll be giving this to every teenager I know' - Alex O'Connell, The Times 'The Gifted, the Talented and Me made me cry with laughter.
