Aimee Molloy

From "master of clever misdirection" (Kirkus Reviews) Aimee Molloy, author of the New York Times bestseller The Perfect Mother, comes an irresistible psychological thriller featuring a newly married woman whose life is turned upside down when her husband goes missing. Golden boy and reformed heartbreaker Sam Statler is looking forward to returning to his hometown of Orlando, New York, with his clever new wife, Annie. They've bought the house of their dreams and Sam, a therapist, is finally opening his own practice, attending to the egos of his (mostly female) clientele. Sensitive, curious, with a dimple to die for, Sam is a changed man--nothing like his no-good father, who left his own wife for a Talbots catalogue model. From the outside, Sam and Annie are building a picture-perfect life. But when Sam disappears and his secrets are exposed--including a house facing foreclosure and a mountain of debt he hid from Annie--everyone assumes he's following in his father's footsteps. Of course, assumptions being what they are, the truth is far more complex--and shocking. Showcasing Aimee Molloy's deft ability to subvert norms and expectations and culminating in the kind of unexpected twist that is becoming her trademark, Goodnight Beautiful is a thrilling tale of domestic suspense that explores just how far individuals will go to protect the ones they love--and to hide their own secrets.

Goodnight, Beautiful

Keiner sieht dich. Doch du hörst alles ... Der Psychotherapeut Sam und seine Frau Annie ziehen aus New York in die verschlafene Kleinstadt, in der Sam aufgewachsen ist. Dort arbeitet Sam fast rund um die Uhr in seiner Praxis im Souterrain mit seinen (hauptsächlich weiblichen) Klientinnen, während Annie zu viel Zeit allein verbringt. Sam ahnt nicht, dass durch einen Lüftungsschacht all seine Therapiesitzungen im Obergeschoss zu hören sind: die Frau des Apothekers, die sich scheiden lassen möchte. Die Malerin mit dem enttäuschenden Liebesleben. All diese Geschichten mit anzuhören, ist unwiderstehlich. Doch dann taucht die betörende junge Französin in dem grünen Mini Cooper auf. Und Sam geht eines Tages zur Arbeit, um nicht wieder zurückzukehren ...

Die Mutter

In 1974, American exchange student Molly Melching arrived in Senegal for a six-month program that would become a forty-year journey of transformation. Inspired by her experiences living in a remote village, she founded Tostan, an organization dedicated to empowering communities by using democracy and human-rights-based education to promote relationships built upon dignity, equality, and respect. Tostan's groundbreaking strategies have led to better education for the women of rural Africa, improved health care, a decrease in child/forced marriage, and declarations by thousands of African communities to abandon the practice of female genital cutting. However Long the Night is the story of how Melching, named by Newsweek and the Daily Beast as one of the "150 women who shake the world," is paving the way to a world with human dignity for all.

O seară în oraș. Câteva ore de distracție. Asta e tot ce ar fi trebuit să fie. Își spun Mamele din Mai – un grup de proaspete mămici ai căror copii s-au născut în aceeași lună. De două ori pe săptămână se întâlnesc în Prospect Park din Brooklyn ca să petreacă puțin timp împreună. Atunci când femeile ies să bea ceva la barul din cartier, tot ce-și doresc este să ia o pauză de la rutina zilnică. Dar, într-o noapte fierbinte de 4 iulie, ceva teribil se întâmplă: unul dintre copii dispare din pătuțul lui. Winnie, o mamă singură, a ezitat să-l lase pe Midas, băiețelul ei de șase săptămâni, cu o bonă, dar colegele sale de la Mamele din Mai au insistat că totul va fi bine. Acum copilul a dispărut. Ceea ce urmează este o cursă contracronometru pentru a-l găsi pe Midas, în timpul căreia o mulțime de secrete ies la iveală, căsniciile sunt puse la încercare și prieteniile sunt distruse. „Molloy, o maestră a pistelor false, explorează cu abilitate așteptările, nesiguranța și prejudecățile nesfârșite care însoțesc maternitatea în acest thriller palpitant, ce prezintă un grup de femei puternice, inteligente și imperfecte care se sprijină reciproc atunci când au mai multă nevoie. Fascinant.” Kirkus Reviews „Extrem de inteligent... Un roman care duce cu gândul la recentele bestselleruri Fata din tren și Femeia de la fereastră, dar care este, de asemenea, o prezentare emoționantă a ceea ce înseamnă să fii un părinte modern și a presiunii deosebite puse asupra femeilor – din interior și din afară – pentru a face totul în mod impecabil.” Entertainment Weekly „Un thriller electrizant – o prezentare subtilă, inteligentă a așteptărilor nesfârșite ale maternității moderne.”
