Le fragilità del cuore
Le fragilità del cuore | Susan Elizabeth Phillips
8 posts | 31 read | 10 to read
Annie Hewitt è un’attrice con poca fortuna, arrivata a Peregrine Island nel bel mezzo di una violenta tempesta di neve. Avvilita e al verde dopo aver speso tutti i risparmi per esaudire gli ultimi desideri della madre malata, non le rimane altro che una fastidiosa polmonite, due valigie rosse piene di burattini e un vecchio cottage, dove si nasconde una misteriosa eredità che potrebbe risollevare le sue finanze. Ma le giornate a Peregrine saranno tutt’altro che semplici per lei: destreggiandosi tra una vedova solitaria, una bambina muta e degli isolani ficcanaso, Annie scoprirà di essere impreparata ad affrontare la vita su quell’isola così fredda, selvaggia e inospitale. A complicare il tutto, l’inaspettato incontro con Theo Harp, l’uomo che le aveva spezzato il cuore quando entrambi erano solo adolescenti, diventato oggi uno scrittore solitario di romanzi horror. Ma quell’uomo sarà ancora temibile come lei ricorda o sarà una persona nuova? Intrappolati insieme in un’isola innevata al largo della costa del Maine, Annie non potrà più scappare dal passato e dovrà decidere se dare ascolto alla sua testa oppure al suo cuore... Ironia, passione e mistero per una storia emozionante e ricca di sorprese.

I love books that can make me laugh and I had lots of laughter throughout this one. I also couldn‘t stay away from this audiobook. Annie is hanging onto her last rope when she returns to the island to recuperate and, of course, her old love and nemesis, Theo, would turn up @ the same time.

This is somewhat out of the ordinary. It‘s Gothicky but ultimately much sweeter than you expect and very satisfying. It reminded me of my favourite of Trisha Ashley‘s books - where the heroine has an inner monologue with her muse (I must check which one that is) except with this it‘s puppets not a winged beast. Trust me. Just keep going past your initial shock at the puppets, it‘ll repay you.

Ta da! Here is what my blind-date-with-a-book turned out to be! It seems to be a modern day retelling of Jane Eyre! I have never heard of it, or the author, so I'm super excited to read it! :-)

sammisho I really like Susan Elizabeth Phillips, very Nora Roberts-ish. 6y
Branwen @sammisho Thats fantastic! I adore Nora Roberts! :-) 6y

No organization and my piles are super out of control but here's my #shelfie for #riotgrams there's actually a non working fireplace behind there. We needed more storage and the books block the draft so win-win!

Suet624 What a great solution! 7y

Heroes Are My Weakness Low Price CD | Susan Elizabeth Phillips

"Cottage gesucht, Held gefunden" im deutschen. Ganz anders als erwartet, aber trotzdem unterhaltsam. Hörbuch für die aktuelle Erkältung ...

A few #headlesscovers (and in one case just faceless). I love the #photoadaynov16 prompts! So fun to dig through my shelf looking for them 😄
