Tijdens de Culturele Revolutie in China speelt een man een rol in de levens van twee vrouwen.

A dark, comic and timely novel from Sean French, one half of the acclaimed thriller-writing duo, Nicci French. Mark Foll is someone you might have spoken to, although you wouldn't necessarily know it; he might have called you in the middle of your favourite television programme to ask if you could take part in some market research, or you might even have called him to sort out your mobile phone contract or to find out where your airline tickets are. Mark has been drifting from terrible job to even worse job when he washes up at Wortley Insurance, working as claims adjuster. It is only when he is sent to Marson Greem, a Norfolk village, to investigate what might or might not be a cancer cluster caused by a waste management company insured by Wortley, that life beging to become something Mark might believe actually involves him. Start From Here is a social comedy, a love story, and a novel about patterns, randomness, and the patterns we see in randomness -- in love, in life, and in insurance.

Zeven licht satirische verhalen.

Een dronken zwerver die gaat zweven als hij terugdenkt aan zijn tijd als tangodanser, een mislukte dichter die gestrand is als leraar, een man die zich op de begrafenis van zijn vader realiseert wat die voor hem betekend heeft, een schrijver die zijn hoofd stoot tegen de grens van zijn vermeende tolerantie, en meer. Alle personages in Verkleurde tijd worstelen met niet-waargemaakte ambities, met verloren gegane dromen en met hun verleden. Jan Wijnen beschrijft in 'Verkleurde tijd' mensen die zijn vastgelopen in hun leven. Hij heeft mededogen, maar aarzelt niet om de zwakte van zijn personages bloot te leggen. Zijn trefzekere stijl, veelgeprezen composities en heldere taalgebruik ontbreken ook in deze bundel niet.
