Wonderful Life and Groundhog Day follows a woman dangerously close to losing it all as she receives an unexpected Christmas gift that prompts a surprising journey of self-discovery...and another chance at happiness. "Annie Rains is a gifted storyteller."―RaeAnne Thayne, New York Times bestselling authorWhat if you could have one more day with someone you lost? Diana Merriman, a physical therapist, is probably the only person in the small town of Snow Haven, North Carolina, who isn&’t looking forward to Christmas. It&’s been three weeks since her fiancé Linus was critically injured when a car hit him as he biked home from the toy store he owns and manages. Watching him open his eyes is the only gift she wants, but she can&’t help losing a little more hope every day. But an unexpected visit from a friendly neighbor and finding a snow globe of Snow Haven—a gift Linus had hidden in the closet—the night before Christmas Eve changes things in ways Diana never would have imagined. Because on Christmas Eve Diana wakes up to find that it&’s not—Christmas Eve, that is. Instead, it&’s somehow December 4 all over again, the day Linus got hurt, and as mystified as Diana is, she immediately starts a plan to save her partner from his fate. Nothing is that simple, of course. Instead of a single repeat of that day, Diana finds herself in an endless loop of December 4, experiencing every possible variation of events. Along the way, she uncovers startling truths about herself, her relationship, and even her career that illustrate the ways she&’s retreated from her life—and in the face of life&’s slights and outright blows, from her deepest feelings. Suddenly hope is second only to joy as Diana opens her heart to the people she loves in every way she can."Annie Rains puts her heart in every word!"―Brenda Novak, New York Times bestselling authorParaules al sol
Par Maria Antònia Oliver i Cabrer. 2023
Una novel·la inèdita de Maria Antònia Oliver, premi d'Honor de les Lletres Catalanes, que és un cant a la llibertat…
i, sobretot, a l'amor. Maria Antònia Oliver va escriure aquesta novel·la epistolar, inèdita fins ara, a partir de les cartes que ella i la seva parella, el també escriptor Jaume Fuster, es van intercanviar mentre ell feia el servei militar a l'illa de Cabrera, on el van traslladar per motius polítics.La història d'amor dels dos protagonistes, escrita amb els pseudònims d'Olívia Guillot i Yus Picó, trena les emocions, l'enyor i la ràbia per la separació imposada amb el retrat d'un país gris, a finals dels anys seixanta, amb la llibertat i la llengua tancades amb pany i clau. «La vida, en sortir del present, no la conec, serà totalment nova per a tots dos. Quan hi penso fredament, m'esvero. Hi ha un munt de preguntes materialistes: de què viurem? Trobarem feina? [...] Val més no fer càbales, no creus? Després de les tenebres que vivim al començament del nostre camí, el més probable és que tot se'ns faci més planer: almenys estaré al teu costat i això sol omple la meitat del tot. Desitjo un futur inquiet, ple de tu, completament diferent de l'ara que sembla no acabar mai».It Happened One Christmas
