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.

Short description:
Als Tim Lott von seiner Freundin verlassen wird und er seinen Job als Redakteur bei City Limits kündigt, erleidet er einen Nervenzusammenbruch. Geschwächt kehrt er zu seinen Wurzeln, seiner Arbeiterfamilie, zurück und läßt sich von seiner Mutter gesund pflegen. Doch als er wieder auf die Beine kommt, begeht seine Mutter Selbstmord... Tim Lotts enthüllt eine Familiengeschichte der Depression, in der sich in faszinierender Weise auch die sich wandelnde Haltung gegenüber Depression und psychischer Krankheit in Großbritannien widerspiegelt.
MoreLong description:
Tim Lott's parents, Jack and Jean, met at the Empire Snooker Hall, Ealing, in 1951, in a world that to him now seems 'as strange as China'. In this extraordinarily moving exploration of his parents' lives, his mother's inexplicable suicide in her late fifties and his own bouts of depression, Tim Lott conjures up the pebble-dashed home of his childhood and the rapidly changing landscape of postwar suburban England. It is a story of grief, loss and dislocation, yet also of the power of memory and the bonds of family love.
