Laku noć, ljepoto
Mlada žena neobičnog imena Nova učinit će sve za svojeg najboljeg prijatelja Mala, kojeg poznaje od najranijeg djetinjstva. Kad Mal i njegova supruga Stephanie zamole Novu da im bude surogat majka, ona pristane – unatoč tome što se boji kako će to utjecati na njihovo prijateljstvo. Njezini strahovi ubrzo se i ostvare. Kad je trudnoća već poodmakla, Stephanie nalazi poruku koju je njezin muž poslao Novi, gdje piše: „Laku noć, ljepoto“. Ionako već sumnjičava zbog njihove duboke povezanosti, Stephanie traži od Mala da prekine svaku vezu s Novom i njihovim nerođenim djetetom, a Nova na kraju odgaja dijete sama. Osam godina poslije, Nova očajnički čeka da se njezin sin, Leo, probudi iz kome, a Stephanie, koja i dalje nema djece, očajnički pokušava spasiti svoj nesretni brak. Premda je i dalje povrijeđena, Nova ipak želi da Mal dobije priliku upoznati sina prije nego što bude prekasno. Hoće li tragedija podsjetiti sve njih na to koliko znače jedno drugome?

About the author
Dorothy Koomson
50 books3,266 followersHello, my name's Dorothy Koomson and I'll try to make this bit that's all about me as interesting as possible.
I wrote my first novel called There's A Thin Line Between Love And Hate when I was 13. I used to write a chapter every night then pass it around to my fellow convent school pupils every morning, and they seemed to love it.
I grew up in London and then grew up again in Leeds when I went to university. I eventually returned to London to study for my masters degree and stayed put for the following years. I took up various temping jobs and eventually got my big break writing, editing and subbing for various women's magazines and national papers.
Fiction and storytelling were still a HUGE passion of mine and I continued to write short stories and novels every spare moment that I got. In 2001 I had the idea for The Cupid Effect and my career as a published novelist began. And it's been fantastic. In 2006, third novel, My Best Friend's Girl was published. It was incredibly successful - selling nearly 90,000 copies within its first few weeks on sale. Six weeks later, it was selected for the Richard & Judy Summer Reads Book Club and the book went on to sell over 500,000 copies. Oh, there I go again, this is meant to be about me, not my novels.
Okay, back to me. I recently spent two years living in Sydney Australia, and now I'm back in England. But I can't say for how long I'll be in the UK for because I've been well and truly bitten by the travel bug
