    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    'Stylish, vibrant, romantic – and written in beautiful prose - the characters' various realisations that the only thing any of us have is the moment we are living in will stay with me for a very long time' KATE SAWYER


    Frank and Chrissy meet a few days into ’70. Frank has been travelling around California for a while with friends, when someone tells him about a house in the desert two hours east of LA where the walls are steel and the glass shimmers. Frank tells himself: I have to see this house. When Chrissy picks him up on the side of the road, all blond hair and oversized sunglasses, it’s love at first sight.

    Years later, as their shared dream of recreating a mid-century masterpiece of a home in Britain threatens to overwhelm them, Frank will often think about how this was where it started. What if he had carried on walking, kicking at the dust? What if she had driven to Palm Springs the next day or even the next hour? Every moment of tomorrow would have completely changed.

    So begins California Gold, a portrait of a marriage, a family and the thin line between a dream and an obsession.

    'Both a wide-screen romance and a dream that turns into obsession. An epic portrait of a complicated family, ambitious and compelling' JULIE OWEN MOYLAN

    'A sweeping, sumptuously told tale that will entirely transport you. Compelling, evocative and cinematic...an utter joy' YOMI ADEGOKE
