Doris Dörrie
Alles inklusive

»As the title promises: entertainment, wit and wisdom – and in plenty too.«Brigitte

»Doris Dörrie has written this summer’s beach book. At least for those not spending their holidays in Spain.«Berliner Morgenpost

»The story told from different points of view is not only an entertaining mother and daughter novel. With painful irony and apparent lightheartedness, Dörrie writes of the important things in life: love, guilt, loss, illness and death.«News

»In ›All Inclusive‹ Doris Dörrie has pulled off a wonderful modern social novel. Light, attractive and wittily told.«Südwestrundfunk

»›All Inclusive‹ is great summer reading.«Norddeutscher Rundfunk

»For all the perspicacity with which it unmasks the protagonists, the book never turns into an embittered tract. Dörrie prefers to guide her messed-up heroes and heroines along the ultra-thin line between tragedy and farce, anguish and slapstick. «Kölnische Rundschau

»Doris Dörrie is a master craftswoman when it comes to describing the comic contained within the tragic. Her new novel is light and weighty, funny and sad. And just the right mix of each.«Aachener Nachrichten

»A bitter sweet summer novel, full of wit, tragedy and unexpected poetry.«Annabelle

»The lives of perfectly normal people, with no false notes, realistic, concise and cool, fanned out with the lightest touch of irony, and bound into a wreath. And it is a good read.«Buchmarkt

»Doris Dörrie has mastered the craft of mixed feelings. She puts laughter in unexpected places, flips panic over into slapstick and burlesque back into tragedy. When fate is melancholy, chance pulls a face at it, and longing turns out to be an idée fixe.«Die Zeit

»The book is a fast-paced and enthralling read. Doris Dörrie knows how to arouse the sympathy of her readers, and she has a talent for observing details and a keen understanding for dissecting what lies below the surface. ›All Inclusive‹ is a tender story, gently unfolding through a series of short anecdotes, often making the reader laugh, and where he will recognise himself more than once.«emotion

»Doris Dörrie has mastered the craft of describing ambivalent feelings. Against a Spanish backdrop she dissects with relish the thoughts of her protagonists, describes their life at home and their longing for warmth, love and happiness. Tongue in cheek, she plays with clichés, exposes prejudices and yearnings. With ›All Inclusive‹ she has come up with an enjoyable summer novel.«Financial Times Deutschland
