The Gift: The gripping psychological thriller everyone is talking about
Autor Louise Jensenen Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 noi 2017
Traducerea din limba engleză ne aduce o narațiune care își păstrează tensiunea brută, reușind să transfere în română acea neliniște psihologică ce definește opera lui Louise Jensen. Observăm cum premisa acestui roman polițist forțează limitele recunoștinței: Jenna supraviețuiește datorită unei inimi noi, dar transplantul o atrage într-un vârtej de minciuni. Inima care îi bate în piept a aparținut lui Callie, o fată a cărei familie „perfectă” ascunde adevăruri violente. Unde este Sophie, sora dispărută? Ce ascunde Nathan, iubitul rămas în urmă? Considerăm că ritmul este elementul definitoriu aici. Propozițiile sunt scurte, aerisite, iar capitolele se opresc exact când adevărul pare să iasă la suprafață. Atmosfera te trimite cu gândul la Look What You Made Me Do de Nikki Smith, unde secretele de familie sunt la fel de toxice, deși The Gift se distinge prin perspectiva unică a „memoriei celulare” și a legăturii viscerale dintre donator și primitor. În contextul operei sale, Louise Jensen rafinează temele explorate în The Sister sau The Fall — identități fragile și trădări între cei apropiați — transformând doliul într-o investigație contra cronometru. Nu este doar un thriller, ci o cursă pentru supraviețuire unde prețul adevărului poate fi chiar viața proaspăt salvată.

Descriere
Jenna is given another shot at life when she receives a donor heart from a girl called Callie. Eternally grateful to Callie and her family, Jenna gets closer to them, but she soon discovers that Callie's perfect family is hiding some very dark secrets...
Callie's parents are grieving, yet Jenna knows they're only telling her half the story. Where is Callie's sister Sophie? She's been 'abroad' since her sister's death but something about her absence doesn't add up. And when Jenna meets Callie's boyfriend Nathan, she makes a shocking discovery.
Jenna knows that Callie didn't die in an accident. But how did she die? Jenna is determined to discover the truth but it could cost her everything; her loved ones, her sanity, even her life.
A compelling, gripping psychological thriller with a killer twist from the author of the Number One bestseller The Sister.
