Miriam and Ralph's chance meeting in a wood during stormy weather marks the beginning of an amusing, restorative friendship, while Sadie takes a break from Twitter to embark on an intriguing adventure of her own. As their collective story unfolds, each of them seeks to better understand the objects of their affection, and their own hearts, timidly refusing to stand still and accept the chaos life throws at them.

Als sie nach über dreißig Jahren an den Strand von St. Ives zurückkehrt, wird die Freerunnerin Sydney nicht nur mit dem schmerzhaftesten Moment aus ihrer Vergangenheit konfrontiert, sondern begegnet auch einer Reihe skurriler Menschen, deren Leben um keinen Deut weniger chaotisch ist als ihres: Zahntechnikerin Maria backt Muffins mit heilenden Kräften, Buchhändler Dexter ist mit der Liebe durch und trägt manchmal gerne Kleider, und Belle wohnt mit Ende zwanzig noch immer bei ihren Eltern und führt das Hängebauchschwein der Nachbarn aus. Sie alle eint die Frage, wer eigentlich bestimmt, wann unser Leben einen Sinn hat. Ihre Schicksale verweben sich zu einer ermutigenden Geschichte darüber, wie man weitermachen kann, wenn die eigene Welt sich nicht mehr dreht. Bären füttern verboten ist ein tröstlicher, hoffnungsvoller und zuweilen humorvoller Roman über Trauer, den Umgang damit – und über Neuanfänge.
