by Miriam MezaCi sono alcuni eventi nella vita che segnano un prima e un dopo. Come nei film o nei libri, in cui una svolta della trama sorprende i protagonisti e inaspettatamente cambia il loro futuro. Quello che non mi aspettavo era che uno di quei momenti trascendentali sarebbe accaduto dopo una notte di bevute, quando la mia mente non era esattamente nel posto giusto. «Il mio corpo si. E in che posto, amica». Ma il destino non aspetta, e nemmeno Murphy. E quello che quella coppia aveva preparato per me quella mattina di dopo sbornia fu un incontro ravvicinato con un incantatore di serpenti che avrebbe messo la mia vita sottosopra. «Come se avere un dopo sbornia non fosse abbastanza».

L'aniversari secret
by Kate MortonUna gran novel·la de l'autora d'El jardí oblidat. 1959En un dia calorós d'estiu, mentre la resta de la família fa un pícnic a la vora del rierol de la seva granja, a Suffolk, una adolescent s'amaga a la caseta de l'arbre de la seva infantesa. Des d'allà, la Laurel fantasieja sobre un noi anomenat Billy, una fugida a Londres i un futur esplèndid que ella espera amb ànsia. Però res és tan senzill, abans que aquella tarda idíl·lica s'acabi, la Laurel serà testimoni d'un crim aterridor que ho canviarà tot. 2011Convertida ja en una actriu cèlebre, la Laurel viu envoltada de les ombres del seu passat. Els records i el misteri del que va veure aquell dia, l'assetgen de tal manera que torna a la casa familiar per començar a desxifrar cada racó de la seva memòria a la recerca de la veritable història. Una història de tres desconeguts amb uns orígens molt diferents (Dorothy, Vivien i Jimmy) que coincideixen en el Londres dels anys de la Segona Guerra Mundial, i les vides dels quals quedaran unides de forma funesta i inexorable. Alternant els anys trenta, els cinquanta i el present, L'aniversari secret és un relat fascinant de misteris i silencis, falsedats i enganys, d'un assassinat i d'un amor indestructible. Ressenyes:«Un enigmàtic drama familiar en el qual s'exploren els secrets de joventut d'una mare, que ressorgeixen d'una manera impressionant quan la seva filla és testimoni d'un crim inesperat. Kate Morton, una narradora magistral de prosa immaculada, indaga amb destresa en les incògnites eternes de l'amor, la traïció i la reconciliació».María Dueñas «El retorn de Kate Morton no podia haver estat més satisfactori. L'autora fa gala de nou de l'estil que li va reportar l'èxit ambEl jardí oblidat, per regalar-nos una història addictiva i sorprenent.»Bloc De todo un poco «L'aniversari secret és una historia fascinant sobre els errors, les segones oportunitats, la redempció, l'amor i la frustració. Amb voltes i sorpreses constants, la novel·la ens transporta a través de diferents èpoques mentre assistim a una successió d'episodis marcats per l'odi, la venjança, les obsessions, la passió, els malentesos, les traïcions, la tragèdia i, per sobre de tot, els capricis del destí.»Bloc Me gustan los libros «A través d'una prosa intensa, dinàmica, neta, extremadament cuidada i molt visual, L'aniversari secret s'endinsa en aquesta zona fosca de l'ésser humà on s'amaguen les pors i les ambicions que porten a comportaments inexplicables, de vegades extrems. Una història de segones oportunitats amb la que Morton aconsegueix indagar en aquesta capacitat que té la memòria per jugar amb un mateix fins a enganyar-lo.»Todoliteratura.es
