Tutto in Madame Bovary (1857) sembra disporre la scena dove il desiderio ha luogo insieme all'abisso che lo cancella. Emma Bovary ama come si divora, ama in una tragica voracità che somiglia a quella di un organismo incapace di assimilare, consuma se stessa e l'oggetto del suo desiderio in un tragico processo di alienazione amorosa, aiutata anche dal marito, Charles, che è tutt'altro che un uomo tranquillo e innocuo, ma un masochista morale di alto lignaggio che, con un sadismo perfettamente camuffato, contribuisce in maniera determinante al suicidio della moglie.

To a gathering darkness that threatens her innocent child--and herself . . . To a home where nothing is safe, and there's no one she can trust. No one.

New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts weaves scandal, celebrity secrets, and murder into an explosive novel of Hollywood almost too wicked not to be true: the story of a legendary actress who knows too much—and the woman she’s chosen to reveal it all. . . . Eve Benedict is the kind of subject who could make any biographer’s career. Last of the movie goddesses, she has two Oscars, four ex-husbands, and a legion of lovers, both famous and infamous. Now she is ready to write a tell-all memoir that has even Hollywood’s richest and most powerful worried. Julia Summers never dreamed of being chosen to tell Eve’s story. But even if it means transplanting herself and her ten-year-old son from their quiet life in Connecticut to the withering limelight of Beverly Hills, it’s an opportunity too great to pass up. But Julia never imagined how far someone would go to keep Eve Benedict’s book from being published . . . until she discovers just how dark Eve’s secrets are. And the one man Julia hopes she can trust—Eve’s stepson, Paul Winthrop—may have the most to gain if his stepmother’s story is never told . . . and if Julia’s life ends before she can write a word of the truth. “Roberts does a beautiful job weaving together the movie star’s tittilating tales and the love story that develops.”—USA Today

"Lasciate che ve lo dica: essere un idiota non è tutto rose e fiori. La gente ride, si incavola, ti tratta malissimo. Eppure io non posso lamentarmi, perché devo ammettere di avere avuto una vita interessante." Chi parla è Forrest Gump, un ragazzone grande e grosso un po' tonto, con un quoziente d'intelligenza basso, molto al di sotto della media, che ci racconta questa sua vita decisamente non monotona.

E' un romanzo che ci offre un ironico ritratto dell'America dagli anni Cinquanta agli anni Ottanta; e il protagonista, per la sua ingenuità che diventa saggezza, è un eroe positivo che lascia un segno in tutti noi.
