Double Fault Zusammenfassung

Double Fault Lionel Shriver

'Love me, love my game' says twenty-three year-old Willy Novinsky. Ever since she picked up a racquet at the age of four, tennis has been Willy's one love, until the day she meets Eric Oberdorf. She's a middle-ranked professional tennis player and he's a Princeton graduate who took up playing tennis at the age of eighteen. Low-ranked but untested, Eric, too, aims to make his mark on the international tennis circuit. But, as Eric's ranking climbs, rivalry turns to resentment, and Willy risks losing everything.

A brilliant tale of doomed love * Observer *
Shriver has a terrible gift for laying bare for us the emotions that lie just beneath the skin. I doubt that there is any thoughtful woman who does not recognize herself somewhere in Shriver's writing -- Lisa Jardine * Financial Times *
So fearless that, although readers may not sympathise with her, they'll understand why she's driven to destroy what she loves * Metro *
As taut as a well-strung racquet * Marie Claire *
A terrific approach shot with which she sets things up for the deadly putaway volley that is Kevin * Independent *
A truly remarkable star in the literary firmament -- Lisa Jardine * Financial Times *
