Elin Hilderbrand Libri

Sembra l'incarnazione della perfetta moglie e madre di famiglia. Ma lui è la tentazione irrinunciabile... Claire è una donna realizzata, piena di cose da fare: crescere i suoi quattro figli, amare il marito, prendersi cura della splendida casa, dedicarsi alla sua passione, i vetri artistici. Una vita perfetta anche se molto impegnata. Nella quale certo non c'è posto per una relazione clandestina... o sì? Nel corso di un'estate il mondo di Claire cambia: prima arriva l'affascinante direttore di una ONLUS che lei aiuta a organizzare un evento; poi una vecchia fiamma dei tempi della scuola, diventato una rockstar... Tra forti emozioni e cuori infranti, Claire dovrà imparare a cavarsela con amori del passato e del presente, la famiglia, gli affari e le aspettative della società. Non sarà troppo?

Meredith Martin Delinn aveva una vita perfetta, fino a quando suo marito non è stato arrestato per una truffa finanziaria da milioni di dollari. Senza più una posizione sociale, senza amici, senza poter vedere i figli, persino senza casa, Meredith sa che le è rimasta una sola persona a cui chiedere aiuto: Constance Flute, la sua migliore amica dei tempi della scuola. Non si sentono da anni, ma quando Connie la invita nella sua casa di Nantucket, Meredith non ci pensa due volte e accetta. Sull'isola ritrova Toby, il fratello di Connie, nonché suo fidanzatino del liceo. E insieme all'amica capisce che il suo cuore potrà anche essere spezzato, ma che è ancora in grado di battere. Ma a Nantucket Meredith non è in pace, e sono molti gli interrogativi che la assillano: verrà incriminata anche lei? E chi è la misteriosa figura che segue le due donne ovunque? Qual è stato il suo ruolo nei loschi traffici del marito? Tra tante domande, una sola certezza: prima che l'estate sia finita, le vite di ciascun personaggio saranno radicalmente cambiate...

After a year apart, Mitzi has returned to rule the roost; Patrick is about to be released from prison; Kevin has a successful new business and is finally ready to tie the knot with Isabelle; and best of all, there's hopeful news about Bart, who has been captured by enemy forces in Afghanistan. That doesn't mean there aren't a few dark clouds on the horizon. Kelley has recently survived a health scare; Jennifer can't quite shake her addiction to the drugs she used as a crutch while Patrick was in jail; and Ava still can't decide between the two lovers that she's been juggling with limited success. However, if there's one holiday that brings the Quinn family together to give thanks for the good times, it's Christmas. And this year promises to be a celebration unlike any other as the Quinns prepare to host Kevin and Isabelle's wedding at the inn.

Before the snow clears, the Quinns will have to survive enough upheavals to send anyone running for the spiked eggnog, in this novel that shows that when the holidays roll around, you can always go home again

Elin Hilderbrand has written many, many enjoyable books but none have the magical allure that the Winter Street series possesses . . . I have thoroughly enjoyed some of her other titles, but this series is where she excels. Each word is straight from her heart and each one finds a special resting place in her story. If you have any trace of a sentimental bone in your body then you must read these books. They are all far above average with WINTER SOLSTICE being the whipped cream and cherry on top Huffington Post
