What unites this unusual fraternity is heartache. Trouble, that is, with women. The meetings are held in random locations throughout the city, conducted in a spirit of openness and tolerance.

Since the woman he considered to be his perfect mate left him, he has been dating one of the world’s most famous models in an effort to forget. Denis has been working as a waiter for years. Women have lost interest in him entirely, causing him to spiral down into depression. But one day, a mysterious woman with a suitcase appears on his doorstep and moves into his living room without explanation, throwing his life into turmoil. Yves is a husband and a cuckold who, after having discovered his wife’s betrayal, refuses to honor any and all forms of faithfulness. He is spending a lifetime’s worth of savings in search of pleasure. In The Thursday Night Men, Benacquista presents these men’s lives—their testimonies—as a beautifully interwoven narrative, giving his readers a variety of unexpected and amusing perspectives on romance, the relationship between the sexes, and friendship between men.

The Tightening String
by Ann BridgeThis novel records the lives of a group of English diplomats in Budapest from the Spring of 1940, up to the entry of the Germans which compels them to leave in Easter 1941. Crossing the Russian frontier en route for Moscow and the U.S.A., an episode at once dramatic and distinctly comic, sees the characters' main pre-occupation as less about their own predicament than the desperate and sustained endeavour to send food and clothing to the 44,000 British prisoners-of-war in Germany, during those first months when no Red Cross Parcels from England reached the camps. A touching love-story, a personal tragedy, and a disconcerting glimpse of treachery are skilfully interwoven in this revealing book.
