Product Information

Ne kartą kartojama, kaip ji pastebi visas savo raukšleles, senstantį kūną ir visus kitus trūkumus, ir galbūt taip mąsto daugelis keturiasdešimtmečių, bet man šalia vartoti žodžius „sena“, „viskas jau prarasta“ ir „keturiasdešimties metų“ kažkaip sunkiai apsiverčia liežuvis. I absolutely loved their friendship and it shows that you can make new friends when you get older and also friends don't really have to be the same age.

Nors ir nesu keturiasdešimtmetė, visgi turiu nemažai panašių baimių kaip knygos herojė, o ir bendras visuomenės požiūris į moteris puikiai suprantamas nepaisant amžiaus, todėl problema nebuvo, kad negalėjau susitapatinti, veikiau kad neišgirdau nieko naujo, ko nebūtų pasakiusios panašaus tipo knygos, kurias esu skaičiusi. Facing a downward spiral all too quickly, Nell Stevens must deal with the demise of business, her impending marriage and the loss of her life in sunny California.Because Potter’s heroine isn’t actually a “f--- up” – it’s just society that makes Nell Stevens feel like one, after the collapse of both her engagement and her business means that she has to crawl back home from California to Blighty with her greying tail between her legs. I leave them at the end of this book wishing them well, and wondering if we will get another peek into their lives again in a few years, I hope so. Nell begins to see that her life isn’t so bad at all, in fact, she might even be a successful forty something! Nell is all set to marry Edward when she discovers she still has the chance to have a baby should she decide to, but after realising her and Edward are not on the same page she decides she needs to explore this option further and her and Edward go their separate ways. Her novels have been translated into more than 25 languages, sold over a million copies worldwide and been optioned by several major film companies.

KýmCelia Walden, The Telegraph The story of Nell Stevens’ struggle through her imperfect, messy life doesn’t just make brilliant fiction, it’s turning into a cultural revolution! Man gan vēl ir tikai trīsdesmit ar kaut ko, bet kā f**k up (neveiksminiece būtu adekvāts latviskojums? I despaired with Nell as she dealt with a number of common problems faced by forty somethings, there were funny moments, but also areas of pure understanding. O ir apskritai, pagrindinė veikėja pasirodė šiek tiek be asmenybės – ji visiems paslaugi, gera ir atlaidi, taip, turinti tam tikrų savo keistenybių, bet jos pakankamai švelnios, o daugiau. As unlikely friendships form, Liv begins to realise that when everything feels desperate, and life seems to be falling apart, sometimes you just need one good thing.
