The Dilemma de B A Paris

The Dilemma

Autor B A Paris
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 iun 2021

Putem afirma că The Dilemma amintește de The Secret Between Us de Barbara Delinsky prin modul în care un incident tragic pune la încercare legătura dintre părinți și copii, dar se diferențiază printr-o structură narativă comprimată în doar 24 de ore, ceea ce amplifică senzația de claustrofobie emoțională. Remarcăm o schimbare de ton semnificativă față de lucrările anterioare ale autoarei B. A. Paris. Dacă în Behind Closed Doors sau The Breakdown accentul cădea pe suspansul psihologic și amenințarea externă, aici explorăm o fragilitate interioară mult mai devastatoare. Premisa este pe cât de simplă, pe atât de chinuitoare: Livia organizează petrecerea vieții ei pentru a marca împlinirea vârstei de 40 de ani, dorind să compenseze nunta de care nu a avut parte. În timp ce ea ascunde un secret despre fiica lor, Marnie, pentru a nu strica atmosfera evenimentului, soțul ei, Adam, află o veste teribilă pe care decide, la rândul său, să o amâne. Stilul autoarei rămâne fidel explorării spațiului domestic, însă ritmul nu mai este dictat de o urmărire, ci de scurgerea inevitabilă a timpului până la coliziunea celor două adevăruri. Este un roman de factură contemporană care analizează cât de departe poate merge cineva pentru a oferi celui drag câteva ore de fericire iluzorie, transformând o celebrare într-un mecanism de tensiune insuportabilă.

De ce să citești această carte

Recomandăm această carte cititorilor care apreciază dramele de familie intense, în care suspansul derivă din etică și sacrificiu personal. The Dilemma oferă o perspectivă profundă asupra modului în care secretele pot proteja, dar și izola membrii unei familii. Este o lectură despre dragoste, pierdere și povara responsabilității, ideală pentru cei care au rezonat cu temele din Mothers de Cath Weeks.

Descriere scurtă

A woman's birthday party takes a dark turn in a poignant, heart-stopping new novel from the reigning queen of suspense, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of Behind Closed Doors, The Breakdown, and Bring Me Back.

"A heartbreaking page-turner that will have you up at night reading just one more chapter." -Catherine Steadman, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Something in the Water

"The phenomenal B.A. Paris has done it again! I devoured The Dilemma in one sitting-it grabbed me from the very first page and wouldn't let go until I'd finished. Secrets, guilt, shame and heartbreak-this story has it all in spades."-Sandie Jones, New York Times bestselling author of The Other Woman

Knowing the truth will destroy her. Keeping it secret will destroy him.

It's Livia's 40th birthday, and her husband Adam is throwing her the party of a lifetime to make up for the wedding they never had. Everyone she loves will be there, except her daughter Marnie, who's studying abroad. But Livia is secretly glad Marnie won't be there.

Livia has recently uncovered a secret about their daughter which, if revealed, will shake the foundation of their family to its core. She needs to tell Adam, but she's waiting until the party is over so they can have this last happy time together.

Adam, meanwhile, has his own surprise for Livia: he's arranged for Marnie to secretly fly back for the party. But before Marnie arrives, Adam hears some terrible news. Now he too is faced with a dilemma: Does he share what he's learned with his wife? Is hiding the truth the same as telling a lie? And how far are Adam and Livia willing to go to protect the ones they love-and give each other a last few hours of happiness?
