Sinossi
William Waters è cresciuto senza l'affetto dei genitori, in una casa segnata dalla tragica scomparsa della sorella; così, quando al primo anno di università incontra la vivace e ambiziosa Julia Padavano, è come se il mondo si illuminasse intorno a lui. Con Julia arriva anche la sua famiglia e, soprattutto, le sue tre inseparabili sorelle: Sylvie, grande sognatrice, felice solo con un libro tra le mani; Cecelia, artista dallo spirito libero; Emeline, che si prende pazientemente cura di tutti loro. Con i Padavano, e la loro adorabile confusione, William sperimenta per la prima volta l'amore di una famiglia. Quando però il suo passato oscuro riemerge, mettendo in crisi non solo i piani accuratamente orchestrati da Julia per il loro futuro, ma anche l'indissolubile legame delle sorelle, il risultato è una rottura familiare apparentemente insanabile: i loro rapporti si modificano irrimediabilmente, mentre l'esuberanza e la gioia dell'infanzia lasciano il posto alle disillusioni dell'età adulta. Il divorzio, la ferita di un tradimento, la rabbia: ognuno di loro dovrà imparare a guardare oltre i propri orizzonti e a cambiare prospettiva per superare le difficoltà e capire se la lealtà e il legame che un tempo li univano saranno abbastanza forti da sopravvivere. Il nuovo romanzo di Ann Napolitano è una storia d'amore intensa e appassionata, che omaggia e reinterpreta in chiave contemporanea il capolavoro senza tempo di Louisa May Alcott "Piccole donne".

This heart-wrenching, emotional family saga will shake you to the core. The three-dimensional, layered characterization, and references to Little Women make it easy to connect with each character as they feel like lifelong friends. The Padavona sisters resemble the March sisters, although they were

OUTLIER ALERT! Not quite my cup of tea! 🫖 From the New York Times bestselling author of Dear Edward comes a poignant and engrossing family story that asks: Can love make a broken person whole? I have to be honest-this was almost a DNF for me. I picked it up and put it down, read another book, and pic Leggi tutto
Is it just me? I'm baffled by the hype surrounding this book. The characters seem pretty wooden to me – I can't really distinguish the twins from each other, and I feel pretty much the same about Sylvie and Julia. I didn't buy the way William's parents ignored him throughout his childhood. Not becau Leggi tutto
Achingly Beautiful.. William Waters grew up without any love or attention from his parents who had lost their first child, a little girl, just previous to his birth. They were consumed by grief. He picks up a basketball as a young boy and it gets him through tough times, just dribbling and going to th Leggi tutto
So, here I sit in a bit of a conundrum. On the onset, given all the shining star reviews this one had, I thought I would feel the same glow. I didn’t. It wasn’t until I started the dreaded skim that it picked up -three quarters through. Napolatino, you took too long to get leverage. My expectations Leggi tutto
This book is filled with odd, one-dimensional characters that did some odd things and I didn't like most of them. Four too close for comfort sisters and one shadow of a man round out the main cast here. William might as well have been a ghost throughout most of the story, then that thing happened. T Leggi tutto
it was about the 25% mark that i knew this book was just not going to get better for me. and im genuinely surprised i was even able to finish it. i enjoyed ANs previous book immensely and i was super excited to pick this up but, with the end of every chapter, i just couldnt wait to set it down. nothi Leggi tutto
