The Flatshare: the utterly heartwarming debut sensation, now a major TV series
Autor Beth O'Learyen Limba Engleză Paperback – 20 feb 2020
Cititorul care a apreciat mixul dintre umor și situații locative complicate din Lease on Love de Falon Ballard va găsi aici o premisă similară — dar explorată printr-un concept mult mai îndrăzneț. În The Flatshare, descoperim o soluție locativă neconvențională care devine fundația unei povești de dragoste atipice: Tiffy și Leon împart un pat, însă nu s-au văzut niciodată. El ocupă garsoniera noaptea, fiind asistent medical, iar ea o folosește ziua, lucrând în editură.
Apreciem modul în care Beth O'Leary transformă un tropar clasic de tipul „străini care locuiesc împreună” într-o experiență intimă, mediată inițial doar prin bilețele lăsate pe frigider și resturi de mâncare împărțite. Deși este un roman de debut, acesta demonstrează o maturitate narativă pe care autoarea a continuat să o rafineze în lucrări precum The Switch sau The No-Show. Spre deosebire de tonul pur ludic din The Name Game, The Flatshare ancorează romantismul în realități sociale mai dure, precum trauma unei relații anterioare abuzive sau lupta pentru dreptate a unui frate încarcerat.
Ritmul este alert, susținut de alternanța perspectivelor celor doi protagoniști, oferindu-ne acces la nesiguranțele lui Tiffy și la tăcerile pline de înțeles ale lui Leon. Este o lectură care echilibrează perfect momentele de comedie pură cu o profunzime emoțională neașteptată, redefinind ce înseamnă să construiești o casă împreună cu cineva înainte de a-i cunoaște chipul.

Notă biografică
Beth O'Leary is a Sunday Times bestselling author whose novels have been translated into more than thirty languages. Her debut, The Flatshare, sold over a million copies and will soon be a TV series. Her subsequent novels, The Switch, The Road Trip and The No-Show, were all instant bestsellers, and The Switch has been optioned by Amblin Partners, Steven Spielberg's production company.
Beth writes her books in the Hampshire countryside with a very badly behaved Golden Retriever for company. If she's not at her desk, you'll usually find her curled up somewhere with a book, a cup of tea and several woolly jumpers (whatever the weather).
