THE AUNT SALLY TEAM - A Soap Opera:

When Bill Green puts a notice in a post office window in Oxford, he hopes for a group of intellectually stimulating companions with whom to share long summer evenings playing Aunt Sally, a quaint, traditional English pub game. Instead he gets a zany assortment of characters, not one of whom lives up to his preconceptions.

Diana craves excitement after ending a comfortable but unchallenging relationship. But is she heading for trouble when she finds herself irresistibly drawn to Dante Blackthorn? He’s handsome, charismatic and a feckless alcoholic and compulsive gambler, though his devil-may-care attitude and hazy sense of boundaries mask a sensitive and complex personality. His dissatisfied ex wife Beccy still hankers after him and his self-centred but vulnerable daughter Lucy hates the idea of a new woman coming into her Dad’s life!

Best friends Lissa and Bethany are pagan teenagers who have their own coven but want to meet boys and have fun as well. Which is fine till Liss falls for someone and jeopardises the friendship.

Meanwhile Jason, a delinquent eighteen year old, has been forced to play Aunt Sally by his Dad and Uncle, who hope being part of the team will keep him out of trouble. When Lucy and Jason are attracted to each other, things get complicated, especially as Beth has set her sights on him as well.

Elderly widow Vera needs to put the past behind her. Will helping Jason fill a gap in her life and begin the process of healing?

And Rashi’s family owns the George and Dragon pub where the Aunt Sally Team is based. He thinks his future is mapped out until he falls in love and is pulled between the culture he grew up in and the expectations of his Indian family.

With these and other characters thrown into the mix, the ensuing interactions and relationships become more and more entangled as the players progress through the season. From May Morning celebrations in Oxford to riotous Aunt Sally matches at idyllic Cotswold village pubs - with fun, drama, sex, romance and chaos along the way - by the end of the summer their lives will have been changed forever.

There's a different mode of reading English writing, and I don't always make the shift in a timely manner. I had read about a quarter of the book and decided I was pretty bored with it and would probably not finish it. But that night, I caught myself dreaming about it and writing about what I thought would come next. I woke up laughing and decided to finish the book, and I'm glad I did. The characters are wonderful, and the progression of alchoholism, denial and recovery is beautifully portrayed. I ended up truly enjoying the book and wishing I knew what was happening to the characters at the start of the next Aunt Sally season.

This is a well written, well researched piece of enjoyable fiction that stays in the mind well after the reader has finished the book. Flick Merauld draws her characters with words, as finely as they are drawn on the front cover. Each is very different and each endears you to them in their own different ways - the ever moody teenagers, the lonely widow, the businesswoman who isn't really looking for love and, of course, Dante, so well named, so charming, so needy and yet so flawed. This is a book the author should be proud to have written and it is a thoroughly enjoyable and entertaining read. I can't wait to load the sequel onto my Kindle.

5,0 su 5 stelle Poignant and Hilarious - just like Life

It sounds like a cliché but Flick Merauld's novel, `The Aunt Sally Team', does work at many different levels. The title and cover suggest a light-hearted, humorous tale about an ill-assorted band of characters in an obscure corner of English parochial life and readers who are expecting that will not be disappointed. It is, however, far far more than that. Each of the players who reluctantly come together to form the Aunt Sally Team at the George and Dragon pub in Oxford is, either by fate, family pressures or their own inner devils, caught within one of those little bubbles of loneliness and isolation we all recognise as such a prevalent feature of modern life. Each has their own story to tell and those stories, through the agency of the Team, become intertwined and inseparable - no small feat for a writer but one which Flick Merauld pulls off effortlessly. The novel is at times poignant, at times hilarious, always riveting and imbued with a quiet and compassionate wit and razor-sharp eye for the great human story as it affects both men and women, young and old. The characters are brilliantly drawn, highly individual yet recognisable and the descriptive passages of the countryside and quiet textures of English life are pure poetry. Each story is played out and resolved satisfyingly yet there is no 'happily ever after' ending, any more than there is in life. Nonetheless, when I got to the end of this book, I not only felt I'd had a great read but also felt pretty okay about being human. Get it.

Recensito in Germania il 15 agosto 2012

"The Aunt Sally Team" ist interessant und spannend geschrieben. Der Inhalt des Buches ergibt sich durch die Personen, die sich für "Aunt Sally" interessieren. "Aunt Sally" ist ein Spiel, das in Teams in Pubs durchgeführt wird und bei dem man gegen andere Teams antritt.
Die Personen im Buch treffen sich aufgrund einer Anzeige, in der Mitspieler gesucht werden. So kommen Menschen verschiedener Alterklassen und sozialer Hintergründe zusammen. Im Verlauf der Spielrunden lernen sie einander kennen und kommen sich auch näher.
Die Geschichte ist spannend und interessant erzählt. Man möchte immer wissen, wie es weitergeht. Das Buch ist unterhaltsam und humorvoll, obwohl die Charaktere auch mit Problemen (z. B. Alkoholismus) konfrontiert werden. Auch wenn nicht alles nur eitel Sonnenschein ist - das Buch bietet sehr gute Unterhaltung, ist humorvoll und kann auf jeden Fall empfohlen werden.
