Gabrielle Zevin strana 2 z 2

A. J. Fikry, a kiégett könyvesboltos nehéz éveket tudhat maga mögött: meghalt a felesége; az üzlete rosszabbul megy, mint valaha; ráadásul ellopták tőle legnagyobb értékét is, egy Poe verseket tartalmazó ritka kötetet. Idővel elfordul az emberektől, és még a könyvei sem nyújtanak számára vigaszt, mert a rohamosan változó világra emlékeztetik. Egy váratlan esemény folytán viszont kénytelen lesz újrakezdeni az életét, mert egy kislányról is gondoskodnia kell. A mogorva és életunt férfi hamarosan más szemmel néz a világra, igaz barátokra lel, újra szerelmes lesz, a könyvesboltja pedig a kisváros nyüzsgő központjává alakul át. Gabrielle Zevin jó humorérzékkel megírt, varázslatos regénye tisztelgés a könyvek világa előtt, szerelmeslevél arról, miért szeretünk olvasni és miért zárunk bizonyos embereket a szívünkbe. Nélkülözhetetlen olvasmány azoknak, akiknek a könyvek a legjobb barátai és azoknak, akik hisznek abban, hogy „senki sem különálló sziget”.

Sam and Sadie meet in a hospital in 1987. Sadie is visiting her sister, Sam is recovering from a car crash. The days and months are long there, but playing together brings joy, escape, fierce competition -- and a special friendship. Then all too soon that time is over, and they must return to their normal lives. When the pair spot each other eight years later in a crowded train station, they are catapulted back to that moment. The spark is immediate, and together they get to work on what they love - creating virtual worlds to delight, challenge and immerse, finding an intimacy in the digital realm that eludes them in their real lives. Their collaborations make them superstars. This is the story of the perfect worlds Sadie and Sam build, the imperfect world they live in, and of everything that comes after success: Money. Fame. Duplicity. Tragedy. Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow takes us on a dazzling imaginative quest, examining identity, creativity and our need to connect.

She has friends who simply don't seem that attractive any more and, despite having meticulously kept a diary during the now-lost years, she only wrote about what she ate every day in it! But when a girl loses three-and-a-half years, she gets a chance to reinvent herself. After all, who is to say that everything has to stay the same?
