Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Isolde Amberg prices other people's gold for a living. At ten past eight on an ordinary morning a pink carbon comes across her own counter: a resize. Her husband's wedding band, taken down from a twelve to a five and a half - which is her size, and is not her ring. She drops her own band over the mandrel to be sure, because a mandrel is a steel cone with numbers on it and it is the least interpretive object in the building. Then she puts the ticket back on the mat and unsquares it, because a squared ticket is a ticket somebody has been looking at. She does not leave with a row. She leaves with an inventory: what is hers, what is his, what is nobody's. Twenty years fits in a card index. Gareth has the ring altered back. Then remade. Then buys a new one. All three are rings. It costs him something only on the day he takes her valuation of their twenty years and does not argue a cent of it. And she takes the table at the auction rooms, and then the shop, and puts six brass screws through her own name into the plugs of 1974. A closed-door later-in-life marriage-in-crisis romance about a valuer who can price anything except her own twenty years, a husband who thought nobody would check, and a woman who starts again on her own. That is the happy ending, and the book means it. Book 5 of Marriage on Paper. Each book follows a different couple and can be read on its own.
