Reviews

[Nina Draganova · Rating 4 out of 5]

Трябва да се вземе впредвид факта , че книгата е писана в далечната 1998 г.
Да, сега звучи наивно , но някои от нещата ми липсват.
Авторката пише с чувство за хумор и разказва интересни истории.
Малко по-описателни вече за моя вкус.

"Любов, изградена върху чуждо нещастие, трудно издържа на изпитанията."
"Правото на избор превръща хората в човеци."

Well this was rather enjoyable! A bit dated now (let's face it, it was about 30 years ago and the mention of Ena Sharples and even Pamela Anderson might fly over some heads), but there were still a few moments that made you smile. I feel the funnier moments were at the beginning of the book though.
Towards the end I became a little frustrated with all the spanners in the works and felt the ending was slightly rushed but all in all, a good read.

Чаровно объркана, с пропуски за точния момент, хаотично разпиляна, героинята прилича на романа. Обаче, слава на автора, накрая всички конци се разплитат по подходящ за всеки от героите начин. Не бих препрочела книгата.

I can't remember much about this book apart from the fact that I enjoyed it on holiday a few years ago.

Another great book by maeve. The story unflods and gets better as you go along, and a nice happy ending. Good characters and emotional storyline.

Kurzbeschreibung
Die Geschichte einer temperamentvollen, hinreissend chaotischen jungen Frau mit dem Herz auf dem rechten Fleck.
Fran Tyler, Journalistin mit Leib und Seele, hört plötzlich ihre biologische Uhr unverschämt laut ticken. Den Heiratsantrag des attraktiven, reichen, Dr. Laurence Westcott nimmt sie deshalb einigermaßen glücklich an. Doch zwei Monate später, nach einer verhängnisvollen Nacht mit ihrem Erzrivalen Jack Allen, dem Chefredakteur des Konkurrenzblattes, ist sie schwanger. Fragt sich nur von wem....

Witzig, geistreich und voller Überraschungen

Нищо особено. Никаква тръпка, на моменти плоска и изтъркана ми идваше- и темата, и стилът на автора. Никаква художествена стойност.
Млада наследница на провинциален вестник в борба да запази наследството, да си намери подходящ съпруг, да открие кой е бащата на бебето й, да се грижи да болния си от Алцхаймер баща. Нещата от живота, но представени твърде прозаично.

An amusing and entertaining story for days when you just want to read something light! I like the characters MAeve Haran is drawing a lot - but the story of course is very predictable :)

An easy read. Good holiday/beach book. Light but story predictable.
