Emily Henry Libri

Un'agente letteraria rigorosa deve decidere se un lieto fine vale la pena di cambiare completamente la sua vita in questo romanzo perspicace e delizioso. La vita di Nora Stephens è fatta di libri: li ha letti tutti, e non è il tipo di eroina che ci si aspetterebbe. Non è la ragazza intraprendente, né quella sognatrice e tanto meno la dolce fanciulla. Infatti, l'unica persona per cui Nora è un'eroina è la sua adorata sorella Libby, per la quale riesce a concludere enormi affari come agente letteraria spietata. È per questo che accetta di andare a Sunshine Falls, North Carolina, per il mese di agosto, quando Libby le chiede un viaggio tra sorelle, convinta che Nora abbia bisogno di diventare l'eroina della sua storia. Ma invece di picnic nei prati o incontri con un affascinante dottore di campagna, Nora continua a imbattersi in Charlie Lastra, un editor malinconico. Anche se sanno di non essere gli eroi ideali, le loro ripetute coincidenze potrebbero far crollare le storie che hanno scritto su se stessi.

Augustus Everett è un autore di romanzi classici, mentre January Andrews scrive storie romantiche che si concludono sempre con un lieto fine. Le loro vite sono opposte: January ha sempre trovato sostegno nella famiglia, mentre Gus ha avuto un'infanzia difficile. Quando January arriva nella casa ereditata sul lago Michigan, è sopraffatta dal lutto per la morte del padre e da un segreto rivelato dopo la sua scomparsa. Scopre che il suo vicino è Gus, un ex compagno di università con cui ha avuto una lunga rivalità. Entrambi si trovano in crisi creativa, incapaci di completare i loro romanzi. In una serata piovosa, i due decidono di scommettere per superare le loro difficoltà: Augustus scriverà un romanzo con un lieto fine, mentre January tenterà di completare un grande romanzo americano. January lo porta in luoghi romantici, mentre lui la accompagna a visitare i sopravvissuti di un culto suicida, riflettendo le loro personalità contrastanti. Il piano è che entrambi completino i loro libri senza innamorarsi. Ma la tensione tra di loro potrebbe complicare le cose.

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Emily Henry comes a sparkling and stylish boxed set of the first three novels that started the phenomenon: Beach Read, People We Meet on Vacation, and Book Lovers. Showcasing Emily Henry's trademark elevated romantic fiction, these three novels are filled to the brim with wit, banter, and joy, while also being relatable, genuinely funny, and cathartic, as Emily tackles themes that resonate deeply with her readers. Beach Read A romance author who no longer believes in love and a literary writer stuck in a rut engage in a summer-long challenge that may just upend everything they believe about happily-ever-afters. People We Meet on Vacation Alex and Poppy are the best of friends, and every summer they have taken one glorious week of vacation together--until two years ago, when they ruined everything. Now, Poppy wants her best friend back and convinces Alex to go on one more trip together: one week to fix everything. Book Lovers A cutthroat literary agent agrees to accompany her sister on a trip to Sunshine Falls, NC, in order to become the heroine in her own story, only to keep bumping into the brooding editor from back in the city.

Daphne always loved the way her fiancé Peter told their story. How they met (on a blustery day), fell in love (over an errant hat), and moved back to his lakeside hometown to begin their life together. He really was good at telling it…right up until the moment he realized he was actually in love with his childhood best friend Petra. Which is how Daphne begins her new story: Stranded in beautiful Waning Bay, Michigan, without friends or family but with a dream job as a children’s librarian (that barely pays the bills), and proposing to be roommates with the only person who could possibly understand her predicament: Petra’s ex, Miles Nowak. Scruffy and chaotic—with a penchant for taking solace in the sounds of heart break love ballads —Miles is exactly the opposite of practical, buttoned up Daphne, whose coworkers know so little about her they have a running bet that she’s either FBI or in witness protection. The roommates mainly avoid one another, until one day, while drowning their sorrows, they form a tenuous friendship and a plan. If said plan also involves posting deliberately misleading photos of their summer adventures together, well, who could blame them? But it’s all just for show, of course, because there’s no way Daphne would actually start her new chapter by falling in love with her ex-fiancé’s new fiancée’s ex…right?

Surveying histories of Korea written during the twentieth century, Henry H. Em examines how the project of national sovereignty shaped the work of Korean historians and their representations of the country's past.

FROM THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR & GLOBAL TIK TOK SENSATION, EMILY HENRY Two writers compete for the chance to tell the larger-than-life story of an heiress with more than a few plot twists up her sleeve in this dazzling and sweeping new novel from Emily Henry. When Margaret Ives, the famously reclusive heiress, invites eternal optimist Alice Scott to the balmy Little Crescent Island, Alice knows this is it: her big break. And even more rare: a chance to impress her family with a Serious Publication. The catch? Pulitzer-prize winning human thundercloud, Hayden Anderson, is sure of the same thing. The proposal? A one-month trial period to unearth the truth behind one of the most scandalous families of the 20th Century, after which she'll choose who'll tell her story. The problem? Margaret is only giving each of them tantalising pieces. Pieces they can't put together because of an ironclad NDA and an inconvenient yearning pulsing between them every time they're in the same room. And it's becoming abundantly clear that their story - just like the tale Margaret's spinning - could be a mystery, tragedy, or love ballad ... depending on who's telling it.

Harriet and Wyn are the perfect couple - they go together like bread and butter, gin and tonic, Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds. Every year, they take a holiday from their lives to drink far too much wine with their favourite people in the world. Except this year, they are lying through their teeth, because Harriet and Wyn broke up six months ago. And they still haven't told anyone. But the cottage is for sale so this is the last time they'll all be here together. They can't bear to break their best friends' hearts so they'll fake it for one more week. But how can you pretend to be in love - and get away with it - in front of the people who know you best?

"When Poppy met Alex, there was no spark, no chemistry, and no reason to think they'd ever talk again. Alex is quiet, studious, and destined for a future in academia. Poppy is a wild child who only came to U of Chicago to escape small-town life. But after sharing a ride home for the summer, the two form a surprising friendship. After all, who better to confide in than someone you could never, ever date? Over the years, Alex and Poppy's lives take them in different directions, but every summer the two find their way back to each other for a magical week long vacation. Until one trip goes awry, and in the fallout, they lose touch. Now, two years later, Poppy's in a rut. Her dream job, her relationships, her life - none of it is making her happy. In fact, the last time she remembers feeling truly happy was on that final, ill-fated Summer Trip. The answer to all her problems is obvious: She needs one last vacation to win back her best friend. As a hilariously disastrous week unfolds and tensions rise, Poppy and Alex are forced to confront what drove them apart - and decide what they're willing to risk for the chance to be together."-- Provided by publisher

Keď k sebe pozve večnú optimistku Alice Scottovú, aby napísala jej životopis, Alice vycíti príležitosť, že sa konečne presadí. Háčik je v tom, že Margaret pozvala za rovnakým účelom aj skúseného spisovateľa, nositeľa Pulitzerovej ceny Haydena Andersona. Obidvaja dostanú mesačnú skúšobnú lehotu na odkrytie pravdy o jednej z najškandalóznejších rodín 20. storočia. Margaret však obom prezrádza len drobné útržky zo svojho života, ktoré si nemôžu navzájom porovnať, lebo podpísali dohodu o mlčanlivosti. Zato vždy, keď sa ocitnú v jednej miestnosti, poriadne to medzi nimi iskrí.

Ein fesselnder Roman über zwei unvergessliche Frauen, die vier Jahrhunderte trennen und dennoch um dieselbe Sache kämpfen: dass ihre Stimmen gehört werden. England im frühen 17. Jahrhundert: Emilia Bassano liebt das Schreiben, doch als Frau hat sie keine eigene Stimme.

Und dieser ist niemand anders als Englands berühmtester Dramatiker: William Shakespeare. New York in der Gegenwart: Melina Green ist fest entschlossen, ihr Theaterstück zu veröffentlichen, inspiriert vom Leben ihrer Vorfahrin Emilia Bassano. Auch vierhundert Jahre später wird die Stimme einer Frau immer noch nicht so gehört wie die eines Mannes. Doch wie weit kann Melina gehen, um ihren Traum zu verwirklichen? »Jodi Picoult ist einzigartig! Ihre Romane berühren das Herz und erweitern den Verstand.« Emily Henry
