BEGGERS CAN'T BE CHOOSERS (NÖDEN HAR EGNA LAGAR)

Warm, witty and painfully honest, the Contrary Mary series is feelgood with a feel-bad edge, emotionally fearless six-book series about starting over when you are old enough to know better, and young enough to do it anyway. A journey through marriage, grief, divorce, desire, revenge and reinvention, following one deeply imperfect woman as she learns that changing your life can be every bit as messy as staying put.

Sometimes revenge is easier than moving on.

Newly divorced and struggling to find her footing, Maria is driven by anger, desire and a desperate need to regain control. She makes choices she cannot undo, and must learn to live with the consequences.

At the same time, unexpected new relationships begin to open the door to a different kind of future.

Beggers Can’t Be Choosers is the third instalment in Lena Koppel’s women’s fiction series Contrary Mary. Intense and unpredictable, it is a story about anger, desire and letting go – and about slowly finding your way back to yourself.
