Story
Vor 25 Jahren schrieb Ildikó von Kürthy ihren ersten Roman: "Mondscheintarif" war ein Kultbuch! Nun ist die Heldin von damals, Cora Hübsch, zurück. Das ist zu viel. Der Container ist voll, das letzte Kind aus dem Haus, die Ehe öde, und etliche Fragen sind offen, auf die ich immer noch keine Antwort weiß. Ich heiße Cora Hübsch, und mir fallen mein leeres Leben und der Karton mit Altpapier vor die Füße. Im Dickicht aus Zetteln, Zeitungen und Selbstmitleid finde ich ein vergilbtes Buch voller handbeschriebener Seiten: mein Tagebuch, "Mondscheintarif".

Until Darren Booth moves in at number 1, Lowland Way, the neighbourhood is a suburban paradise. But soon after his arrival, disputes over issues like loud music and parking rights escalate all too quickly to public rows and threats of violence. Then, early one Saturday, a horrific crime shocks the street. As the police go house to house, the residents close ranks and everyone’s story is the same: Booth did it. But there’s a problem. The police don't agree with them.

Story
I needed someone I could trust. Someone others would trust. Someone with no criminal record. With no previous involvement. A cleanskin. Someone to come over, do the job, and go home.... Some days, even Halley can't find the person she once was. She's changed her name and no one - least of all her husband and son - knows of her past. No one except Aidan, who turns up one day in her small Australian town and shatters the façade she's built so carefully.

Story
Curious place Corfu! Civilized, loving but simultaneously explosive. (...) Hunger and dreams,... accompanied by music. Terrific combination that chases away insecurity. Most used word was "berese" i. e. credit. People of Corfu owed their harvest, their job, their existence and their money and they constantly lacked money to buy a new clothe. The only thing they didn't owe to any dealer or lender was the "Holy madness" they carried in their genes and romanticism that illuminated their difficult lives. In this long audio book, the author and famous actors, using the idiomatic language of the island give life to four tragicomic tales of the Eptanisa. The persons in these stories become alive and are given the opportunity to live for a while with us. In addition we have the opportunity to live the local history.
