Still reeling from her recent divorce, Christine, the beloved protagonist of Dora Heldt’s uproarious Life After Forty, is sure that yet another birthday is the last thing she needs. But here it comes nonetheless, the big 4-4, in all its lonely mid-life glory. Making matters worse is Christine’s fear that, throughout her life, she has relied too heavily on the support of her girlfriends. As the big day nears, she begins to think that none of those women can understand just what she is going through. Alarmed by Christine’s growing despair, her best friend and sister hatch a plan to prove her wrong: they will gather together all of Christine’s old friends from the various stages of her life and throw a surprise party the likes of which she has never seen. Of course finding all of those women turns out to be easier said than done! Nonetheless, the final result proves to be a priceless gift, a moving and laugh-out-loud funny portrait of one woman’s life as told through the stories of her friendships

Not memorable
23. Februar 2012
Von Joan W. Johnson

Format:Taschenbuch|Amazon Vine™ Rezension
(Was ist das?)
I enjoyed the story line of INSEPARABLE - reuniting old friends to prove that girl friends are a necessity of life - but I'm afraid the writing style (or perhaps the translation?) left me cold. What should be a heartwarming story was instead difficult to follow and often emotionally cold. Although the main characters were fairly likable, there were so many sub-characters that it became difficult to keep them all straight. The main theme of the plot - tracking down childhood friends - seemed a bit forced. Could it really be that easy to track down people you haven't seen for 20 and 30 years?
This story could have been successful with a great deal more warmth and fewer characters to keep track of. It was an OK read, but I doubt I'll remember more than the title just a few weeks from now.

Mediocre - didn't love or hate it

(Was ist das?)
Inseperable is a story about a woman turning 40 and the relationships she'd had in the past years with her "best" friends. For her birthday, her sister and a few friends decide to reunite all the friends for a big get together. The story goes through each friend and what happened to distance them from each other. It's pretty formulaic and the writing isn't very polished. It's not a book I'd recommend to a friend. There are many others I've read recently that I'd recommend first.

(Was ist das?)
Inseparable by Dora Heldt is a real girlfriend book. Christine is turning forty and not looking forward to this milestone. Christine is divorced and childless, with no prospects to change either status. Her sister and her best friend try to cheer her up with a surprise birthday party. The friend and sister plan to gather all of Christine's old friends for this party and therein lies the story. Finding these friends, convincing them to attend the party and then actually getting Christine to attend is funny and poignant at the same time. This book is for women and their friends to read. It is a good "book club" read.
