Kurzbeschreibung
Georgie Sinclair's life is coming unstuck. Her husband's left her. Her son's obsessed with the End of the World. And now her elderly neighbour Mrs Shapiro has decided they are related. Or so the hospital informs her when Mrs Shapiro has an accident and names Georgie next of kin. This, however, is not a case of a quick ward visit: Mrs Shapiro has a large rickety house full of stinky cats that needs looking after that a pair of estate agents seem intent on swindling from her. Plus there are the 'Uselesses' trying to repair it (uselessly). Then there's the social worker who wants to put her in a nursing home. Not to mention some letters that point to a mysterious, painful past. As Georgie tries her best to put Mrs Shapiro's life back together somehow she must stop her own from falling apart...

In dieser schrägen, witzigen Geschichte geht es um stinkende Katzen, den Nahostkonflikt, renovierungsbedürftige Häuser, Handschellen mit Klettverschluß, unfähige Handwerker, den Weltuntergang, Sonderangebote und natürlich um Klebstoff. Also, wenn Sie sich für eines oder mehrere dieser Themen interessieren, sollten Sie das Buch lesen. Und wenn Sie sich für keines der Themen interessieren, sollten Sie es trotzdem lesen - vielleicht interessieren Sie sich ja nachher dafür!

Marina Lewycka's 'We Are All Made of Glue' is a story about relationships. There is the relationship between Georgie Sinclair and her husband Rip that has fallen apart after years of marriage. Their son Ben tries to keep good relations with both of them while at the same time trying to connect with the confusing teenage world. Georgie starts a friendly connection with her elderly neighbor Mrs Shapiro, who tells her about her relationship with her husband Artem. Mrs Shapiro also has close relations to an abundance of stinking cats and her run down home, Canaan House. This house attracts real estate agents, who try to build relationships with Georgie and Mrs Shapiro. Various relationships with God are mentioned as well as the love for a homeland.
Georgie Sinclair is the narrator and at the center of things. After the breakup with her husband she is lonely and strikes up a strange friendship with an elderly lady from the neighborhood, Mrs Shapiro. This friendship becomes more serious when Mrs Shapiro has an accident and names Georgie as her next of kin in the hospital. Now she has to look after the old lady's cats and save her from social services, who want to steel her house and put her in a home for the elderly.
All of a sudden Georgie has to deal with sexy real estate agents, home improvements and history.
I would love to say the book was as funny as promised, but it wasn't. Georgie is a selfish and ignorant narrator. Under the cover of helping Mrs Shapiro she goes snooping around her private affairs and all in all gets more involved than she has to, while at the same time being irritated with Mrs Shapiro's demands.
Without the many mysteries in the novel I don't think I would have finished it. The most tantalizing mystery is the story of Artem Shapiro which only grows more mysterious as it progresses. Intertwined in this mystery is the character of Mrs Shapiro, who raises more questions than we get answers for. Then there is the subject of Georgie's loneliness, her search for another man and her desire for revenge.This is mainly expressed in excerpts from her sorry attempts of writing a romance novel. And what is with the looming Armageddon?
After the mysteries dissolve, the ending is almost too sickeningly happy to bear, giving closure to all the characters and problems encountered from the first page on.
I did feel relieved when I finally turned the last page and put the book aside.

Haven't read her previous novels, but this one seems a little dry.
