Il romanzo comincia seguendo le due protagoniste bambine, e poi adolescenti, tra le quinte di un rione miserabile della periferia napoletana, tra una folla di personaggi minori accompagnati lungo il loro percorso con attenta assiduita. L'autrice scava nella natura complessa dell'amicizia tra due bambine, tra due ragazzine, tra due donne, seguendo la loro crescita individuale, il modo di influenzarsi reciprocamente, i buoni e i cattivi sentimenti che nutrono nei decenni un rapporto vero, robusto. Narra poi gli effetti dei cambiamenti che investono il rione, Napoli, l'Italia, in piu di un cinquantennio, trasformando le amiche e il loro legame. E tutto cio precipita nella pagina con l'andamento delle grandi narrazioni popolari, dense e insieme veloci, profonde e lievi, rovesciando di continuo situazioni, svelando fondi segreti dei personaggi, sommando evento a evento senza tregua, ma con la profondita e la potenza di voce a cui l'autrice ci ha abituati. Si tratta di quel genere di libro che non finisce. O, per dire meglio, l'autrice porta compiutamente a termine in questo primo romanzo la narrazione dell'infanzia e dell'adolescenza di Lila e di Elena, ma ci lascia sulla soglia di nuovi grandi mutamenti che stanno per sconvolgere le loro vite e il loro intensissimo rapporto.

The extraordinary and enchanting novel tracing a centuries-old curse back to its beginning from the author of PRACTICAL MAGIC and THE DOVEKEEPERS For centuries, the women of the Owens family have been cursed: any man who loves an Owens woman will die.

When Maria is abandoned by the man she loves, she invokes the curse that will haunt her family for centuries. Because magic has rules, and they must be obeyed.PRAISE for ALICE HOFFMAN 'Beautiful, harrowing, a major contribution to twenty-first century literature'Toni Morrison 'I am still reeling from The Dovekeepers - from the history Alice Hoffman illuminates, from the language she uses to bring these women to life. This novel is a testament to the human spirit and to love rising from the ashes of war. But most of all, this novel is one that will never be forgotten by a reader.'Jodi Picoult 'In her remarkable new novel, Alice Hoffman holds a mirror to our ancient past as she explores the contemporary themes of sexual desire, women's solidarity in the face of strife, and the magic that's quietly present in our day-to-day living.Put The Dovekeepers at the pinnacle of Hoffman's extraordinary body of work. I was blown away.'Wally Lamb 'Alice Hoffman takes seemingly ordinary lives and lets us see and feel extraordinary things.'Amy Tan 'Miss Hoffman heals wounds with the gentle touch of an angel'Joseph Heller 'Oh, what a book this is! Hoffman's exploration of the world of good and evil, and the constant contest between them, is unflinching; and the humanity she brings to us - it is a glorious experience.'Elizabeth Strout

"Riveting, heart-wrenching, and full of Old Hollywood glamour, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo is one of the most captivating reads of 2017." -BuzzFeed"The epic adventures Evelyn creates over the course of a lifetime will leave every reader mesmerized. This wildly addictive journey of a reclusive Hollywood starlet and her tumultuous Tinseltown journey comes with unexpected twists and the most satisfying of drama." -PopSugarFrom the author of Daisy Jones & The Six-an entrancing novel "that speaks to the Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor in us all" (Kirkus Reviews), in which a legendary film actress reflects on her relentless rise to the top and the risks she took, the loves she lost, and the long-held secrets the public could never imagine.Aging and reclusive Hollywood movie icon Evelyn Hugo is finally ready to tell the truth about her glamorous and scandalous life. But when she chooses unknown magazine reporter Monique Grant for the job, no one is more astounded than Monique herself. Why her? Why now?Monique is not exactly on top of the world. Her husband has left her, and her professional life is going nowhere. Regardless of why Evelyn has selected her to write her biography, Monique is determined to use this opportunity to jumpstart her career.Summoned to Evelyn's luxurious apartment, Monique listens in fascination as the actress tells her story. From making her way to Los Angeles in the 1950s to her decision to leave show business in the '80s, and, of course, the seven husbands along the way, Evelyn unspools a tale of ruthless ambition, unexpected friendship, and a great forbidden love. Monique begins to feel a very real connection to the legendary star, but as Evelyn's story near its conclusion, it becomes clear that her life intersects with Monique's own in tragic and irreversible ways."Heartbreaking, yet beautiful" (Jamie Blynn, Us Weekly), The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo is "Tinseltown drama at its finest" (Redbook): a mesmerizing journey through the splendor of old Hollywood into the harsh realities of the present day as two women struggle with what it means-and what it costs-to face the truth.

Amb estudi introductori, comentaris de text i propostes didactiques de Joan Martori.Amb Pilar Prim, Oller, en plena maduresa com a novel·lista, afronta el tema del desig de la dona, un assumpte que la literatura del XIX havia tractat des d'una perspectiva merament romantica. En aquesta obra, pero, trobem un nou enfocament que serveix per remarcar els condicionaments i les sancions legals i morals que el context social de començament del segle XX imposava a la dona. Un altre element rebla la condicio de modernitat de l'obra: amb l'afany d'incorporar-se al model de novel·la que apliquen els narradors del moment, el tractament que fa Oller dels personatges prefigura el desenvolupament posterior de la novel·la psicologica.

The Diamond Death walks alongside me, But the reaper is no match for me. I''m trapped in a world full of monsters dressed as men, and those who aren''t as they seem. They won''t keep me forever. I no longer recognize the person I''ve become, And I''m fighting to find my way back to the beast who hunts me in the night. They call me a diamond, But they''ve only created an angel of death. The Hunter I was born a predator, With ruthlessness ingrained in my bones. When what''s mine is stolen from me in the night, Like a diamond hidden within a fortress, I find that I can no longer contain the beast. Blood will paint the ground as I tear apart this world to find her. And bring her back to where she belongs. No one will escape my wrath, Especially not those who have betrayed me.

THE MIND-BENDING CULT CLASSIC ABOUT A HOUSE THATS LARGER ON THE INSIDE THAN ON THE OUTSIDE A masterpiece of horror and an astonishingly immersive, maze-like reading experience that redefines the boundaries of a novel. ''''Simultaneously reads like a thriller and like a strange, dreamlike excursion into the subconscious." Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times "Thrillingly alive, sublimely creepy, distressingly scary, breathtakingly intelligentit renders most other fiction meaningless." Bret Easton Ellis, bestselling author of American Psycho This demonically brilliant book is impossible to ignore. Jonathan Lethem, award-winning author of Motherless Brooklyn One of The Atlantics Great American Novels of the Past 100 Years Years ago, when House of Leaves was first being passed around, it was nothing more than a badly bundled heap of paper, parts of which would occasionally surface on the Internet. No one could have anticipated the small but devoted following this terrifying story would soon command. Starting with an odd assortment of marginalized youthmusicians, tattoo artists, programmers, strippers, environmentalists, and adrenaline junkiesthe book eventually made its way into the hands of older generations, who not only found themselves in those strangely arranged pages but also discovered a way back into the lives of their estranged children. Now made available in book form, complete with the original colored words, vertical footnotes, and second and third appendices, the story remains unchanged. Similarly, the cultural fascination with House of Leaves remains as fervent and as imaginative as ever. The novel has gone on to inspire doctorate-level courses and masters theses, cultural phenomena like the online urban legend of the backrooms, and incredible works of art in entirely unrealted mediums from music to video games. Neither Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist Will Navidson nor his companion Karen Green was prepared to face the consequences of the impossibility of their new home, until the day their two little children wandered off and their voices eerily began to return another storyof creature darkness, of an ever-growing abyss behind a closet door, and of that unholy growl which soon enough would tear through their walls and consume all their dreams.

Je pourrais dire que cest un recueil de nouvelles, que ce sont des histoires, quil y en a sept en tout et quelles commencent toutes a la premiere personne du singulier mais je ne le vois pas ainsi. Pour moi, ce ne sont pas des histoires et encore moins des personnages, ce sont des gens. De vraies gens.Ils parlent pour essayer dy voir clair, ils se devoilent, ils se confient, ils fendent larmure. Tous ny parviennent pas mais de les regarder essayer, deja, cela ma emue. Cest pretentieux de parler de ses propres personnages en avouant quils vous ont emue mais je vous le repete : pour moi ce ne sont pas des personnages, ce sont des gens, de reelles gens, de nouvelles gens, et cest eux que je vous confie aujourdhui.Anne Gavalda.
