Leslie Thomas ist am bekanntesten für seinen internationalen Bestseller über britische Soldaten in Malaya. Sein Schreiben schöpft oft aus persönlichen Erfahrungen, einschließlich seines frühen Lebens in einem Waisenhaus, das er in seinem ersten Roman erforschte. Thomas' Werk fängt die Erfahrungen gewöhnlicher Menschen ein, die in außergewöhnliche Umstände geraten, oft mit einer Mischung aus Humor und Pathos. Seine Erzählungen finden bei den Lesern durch ihre lebendige Darstellung menschlicher Widerstandsfähigkeit und der Auswirkungen von Konflikten Anklang.



The Love Beach was where East and West came together--and started swinging ....
The new tale of love and life, rich with humour and pathos, from our best loved storyteller. From the prison cell where Chloe Smith, 43, is awaiting trial for the merciful murder of the only man who ever loved her with honesty, she recalls the men in her life who lied to her. She remembers her adored father, who drank too much; the loss of her virginity at Stonehenge to a schoolboy, her marriage to petty crook Zane Tomkins, the Isle of Wight ferryman who said he was a lonely deep sea sailor, the young priest who said he loved her but left to establish a church for men, or the lighthouse keeper who shouted in his sleep-all these men, and many others, have let Chloe down. Chloe`s Song is the story of one woman`s quest to get what every woman wants-a man who tells the truth.
