Produktinformationen zu „Mango Bridge Club: Double Dealing (ePub)“
Bridge players are a strange, obsessed bunch. So, at least, think the fruit bats that hang upside down in the mango trees outside Mango Bridge Club, observing with incredulity as the seniors stare at bits of cardboard and appear to derive from this activity their own peculiar brand of grim pleasure.No wonder. The bridge club is their life. It is the reason they get up in the morning, the reason they go to bed without despair. But the elderly members soon find their beloved club under attack from destructive forces both within and without. The warring committee is bent on achieving absolutely nothing, and the club faces an existential threat from a dodgy shire councillor and his allies - a professor of sexology with a keen interest in ostrich sexual discourses, and a misogynistic erotic robot inventor with a depressed goldfish. Add to the mix the odd explosive bridge player not too happy with partner's play, a badly behaved octogenarian, and a romance between the unpopular club president and a beautiful newcomer to the town, and the members of Mango Bridge Club find themselves with dilemmas fit only for super sleuth bridge players.
Autoren-Porträt von Annette Corkhill
Annette Robyn Corkhill is a novelist, poet, linguist and translator.Mango Bridge Club is her second novel. Her first was a humorous, co-authored bridge novel-cum manual, Mabel and Mary's Light Bulb Bridge, which appeared in 2014.
Her poems have been published in anthologies and poetry magazines, and she is the author of two books on Australian migrant writing: The Immigrant Experience in Australian Literature, and Australian Writing: Ethnic Writers 1945-1991.
Annette has been playing bridge for over 30 years. Mango Bridge Club adopts the gently satirical and persuasively indulgent perspective of an insider well acquainted with the many peculiarities of the game and its players.
Annette is now retired from her translation business and free to pursue her passions for writing, singing, travel, foreign languages and cultures, and of course, bridge.
