Sinossi
Le sorelle Gwendolyn ed Estella sono sempre state unite e hanno potuto contare l’una sull’altra per non farsi schiacciare dalla loro famiglia, tanto ricca quanto infida. Ma adesso Gwendolyn è in coma; solo lei è sopravvissuta all’avvelenamento dell’intero clan perpetrato da Estella durante il ricevimento in onore degli ottant’anni del capostipite. A mano a mano che Gwendolyn riprende conoscenza, si trova a frugare nei ricordi, cercando d’individuare l’origine di quel gesto così spaventoso. È stata la misteriosa morte per annegamento della loro zia? O c’entra il matrimonio infelice di Estella con un individuo rozzo e brutale? Oppure bisogna ricostruire la mappa sempre mutevole degli inganni e delle vendette che caratterizza il loro mondo dorato? Segreti nascosti da molti anni finiranno per riemergere nella sua memoria e Gwendolyn si troverà davanti a una domanda terribile: vuole davvero scoprire la verità su di lei e su Estella?

Recensioni
Go read the description for this book. Just bear with me here... go on. I'll wait. *insert final Jeopardy theme music* Sounds dramatic, mysterious, thrilling even. I mean it says "riveting and disquieting thriller" right there! I'll take 'What is not even close? for $800, Alex'. This book doesn't know wh Leggi tutto
This novel is described as a thriller in the lines of Crazy Rich Asians as if it had been written by Gillian Flynn . It was more of a family drama where the main character opens the story by waking up in the hospital, 300 hundred members of her family have been fatally poisoned, including children. N Leggi tutto
2.5 rounded up. Part of me thinks I’m being generous, but then I don’t know. Telling you what I think about this book will be very challenging. You will get a different answer every time. I haven't read Crazy Rich Asians, but from other reviews I've read - that characterization missed the mark. I wo Leggi tutto
Synopsis Gwendolyn wakes - deeply injured and blinded - in a hospital bed. The sole survivor of a poisoning that has claimed the lives of her entire family. Her sister, closest confidant and best friend in the world, was responsible for killing their entire bloodline. Dying, paralyzed, and unable to Leggi tutto
This is one of those crime novels where the mystery isn't who did it but why. I also suspect it's going to divide a lot of readers, since it has an unusual twisty ending that is more common in the quick-paced thriller set of crime novels than the slow literary character studies like this is. The CRA Leggi tutto
This was a mostly blind read. All I knew were a few vague things like the cover being gorgeous and intriguing. Also, that it’s Asian-American fiction, probably literary, and centers around a family. It’s nice sometimes to go in with little info and get caught off guard. I’ll just get this out of the Leggi tutto
2.5 " dissapointing " Stars The Majesties , a story about family wealth and the betrayals , disappointments and heartbreak that comes with it , is deceitfully engaging only to lose the intrigue and depth the moment we stumble on that tragic plot twist. Way to ruin a good story just so you can make
What a BOLD beginning! The novel starts with Gwendolyn - our narrator - in the hospital. She’s the sole survivor of a mass murder. The scene: her Opa’s birthday party The guests/victims: her wealthy family and their friends and colleagues, some of the wealthiest Chinese families in Indonesia The culp Leggi tutto
