Under Your Spell: 'For any fans of Emily Henry, this is a romantic read supreme' - STYLIST
Autor Laura Wooden Limba Engleză Paperback – 20 iun 2024
Dacă This Spells Love de Kate Robb v-a captivat prin ideea unui ritual mistic care rescrie realitatea după o despărțire, Under Your Spell extinde această experiență în direcția unei comedii romantice efervescente, unde magia este mai degrabă un catalizator emoțional decât un element supranatural pur. Reținem povestea lui Clementine Monroe, care, după ce își pierde locul de muncă și partenerul, decide să apeleze la un „blestem de despărțire” simbolic. Ceea ce urmează nu este neapărat vrăjitorie, ci o serie de coincidențe amuzante și dezastruoase care o forțează să petreacă șase săptămâni alături de Theo Eliott, cel mai dorit rock star al momentului. Ne-a atras atenția dinamica de tip „forced proximity”, construită cu o finețe care trădează erudiția autoarei. Deși Laura Wood vine dintr-o zonă academică, având un doctorat în literatură, proza sa rămâne extrem de accesibilă, caldă și plină de spirit. Merită menționat că, spre deosebire de tonul din A Season for Scandal, unde accentul cădea pe misterul istoric, aici Laura Wood explorează vulnerabilitatea contemporană și redescoperirea de sine. Ritmul este alert, specific stilului „fizzy romcom”, iar tensiunea dintre Clemmie și Theo este dozată cu grijă, evitând clișeele facile în favoarea unor dialoguri inteligente care amintesc de The Happy Ever After Playlist de Abby Jimenez. Este un roman despre riscul de a obține ceea ce îți dorești și despre cum cele mai mari dezastre ale vieții pot deveni, paradoxal, cele mai norocoase momente.

Despre autor
Laura Wood este o autoare de succes, premiată încă de la debutul său cu Montegrappa Scholastic Prize în 2014. Cu o pregătire academică solidă, deținând un doctorat în literatură din secolul al XIX-lea de la University of Warwick, ea reușește să combine rigoarea stilistică cu o sensibilitate modernă. Deși s-a consacrat prin romane destinate publicului tânăr și adolescent (YA), Under Your Spell demonstrează versatilitatea sa în literatura contemporană pentru adulți, păstrând umorul și profunzimea caracteristică lucrărilor sale anterioare.
