Catherine Isaac

"Sick of his lies, cheating ways, and complete lack of interest in fatherhood, Jessica left her boyfriend, Adam, only months after she gave birth to their son--and never looked back. Adam moved to France to follow his dream, unencumbered by a serious relationship and the child he never wanted. Ten years later, Susan, Jess's mother, lies in a nursing home, battling a debilitating disease. Susan forces Jess to recognize what she's always refused to acknowledge: that William needs his father in his life. So, Jess and ten-year-old William set off to spend the summer at Chau de Roussignol, deep in the rich, sunlit hills of the Dordogne, where Adam runs a beautiful hotel. There, Jess has a mission: to make Adam fall in love with his own son. By turns heartbreaking and hopeful, You Me Everything is a novel about one woman's fierce determination to grab hold of the family she has, and a romantic story about finding love even under the most unexpected circumstances"--

World at My Feet

Te és én - megvan a magunk története. És egy közös gyerekünk. Túl sokáig titkolóztunk egymás előtt. Most eljött az ideje, hogy ezen a nyáron, Dordogne álomszép dombjai között, megváltozzon minden. Őszinte, feledhetetlen történet arról, hogy mennyi mindent készek vagyunk elkövetni azokért, akiket szeretünk. Catherine Isaac regénye megnevettet, megríkat, és örökre az olvasóval marad. Huszonkét országban vették meg a jogait, és film készül belőle. "Lenyűgöző könyv." Jill Mansell "Szívmelengető, elgondolkodtató és nagyon különleges." Jenny Colgan "Kitűnő, nem mindennapi élmény." Milly Johnson
