The Almost Moon


Helen Knightly has spent a lifetime trying to win the love of a mother who had none to spare. And as this electrifying novel opens, she steps over a boundary she never dreamt she would even approach. But while her act is almost unconscious, it also seems like the fulfilment of a lifetime's buried desire. Over the next twenty-four hours, her life rushes in at her as she confronts the choices that have brought her to this crossroads. 'Sebold writes brilliantly ...The Almost Moon is a mature, salutary and timely novel' Helen Dunmore, The Times 'Exhilarating, unforgettable ...This is a remarkable novel in which every word is vital, each nuance felt ...Candid, gut-wrenching, at times horribly funny and often beautifully touching ...The genius which guides The Almost Moon is its absolute, horrible, multiple truths; its staggering clarity' Irish Times 'As moving as it is unquestionably gripping' Observer

Komfortos mennyország


Alice Sebold könyve az amerikai megjelenést követően - 2002-ben - rácáfolt mindazokra, akik a szépirodalom iránti érdeklődés hanyatlásától tartottak: nemcsak a horror és a krimi műfajának nagyágyúit utasította maga mögé az eladási listákon, hanem még a felülmúlhatatlannak hitt Potter-gyároson is túltett. Az írónő első regényét egy fájdalmas diákkori trauma ihlette, a történet annak áttételes, művészi feldolgozása.

Pevné puto 2.vydanie


Keď sa prvý raz stretávame so Susie Salmonovou, je už v nebi. A ako sa pozerá dolu z toho zvláštneho nového miesta, rozpráva nám sviežim a oduševneným hlasom štrnásťročného dievčaťa príbeh, ktorý naháňa hrôzu a zároveň dáva nádej. V týždňoch bezprostredne nasledujúcich po svojej smrti Susie sleduje, ako život tam dolu ide ďalej aj bez nej – jej spolužiaci si odovzdávajú chýry o jej zmiznutí, jej rodina sa drží nádeje, že ju nájdu, jej vrah sa snaží zahladiť stopy. A ako plynú mesiace a nič sa nedeje, Susie vidí, ako strata dieťaťa zhoršuje vzťah jej rodičov, sestra sa zatvrdzuje v úsilí zostať silná a jej malý brat sa snaží pochopiť význam slova odišla. Zároveň skúma miesto, ktoré sa volá nebo. Pripomína jej školské ihrisko s úžasnými hojdačkami. Sú tu poradcovia, ktorí prišelcom pomáhajú privykať si, a priatelia, s ktorými sa noví ubytujú. Všetko, po čom kedy túžila, sa jej zjaví pred očami, len čo si na to pomyslí. Okrem jedinej veci, po ktorej túži najväčšmi – môcť sa vrátiť k ľuďom, ktorých ľúbila na zemi. Na motívy románu Pevné puto nakrútil známy režisér Peter Jackson rovnomenný film v hlavných úlohách so Saoirse Ronanovou, s Markom Walbergom a Susan Sarandonovou.
