A young mother discovers underneath the wallpaper a striking portrait that awakens inconvenient desires. A divorced man distracts himself from the mess he's made by flirting with a stranger. These intimate, immersive stories explore life's watershed moments, in which seemingly insignificant details-a pot of hyacinths, a freshly painted yellow wall-and the most chance of encounters come to exert a tidal pull. Set in the swinging sixties and each decade since, Cocktail reveals the schism between the lives we build up around us and our deepest hidden selves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9781771965620\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9781771965620","offer_id":57179849785669,"sku":"9781771965620","price":16.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/bd02a987-4a98-414c-83aa-2357afc64869.jpg?v=1772082387","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/en\/products\/cocktail-von-lisa-alward","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
