Nella vita di Elizabeth ogni cosa ha il suo posto: dalle tazzine del caffè nella scintillante cucina ai barattoli di vernice nel suo atelier di arredatrice d''interni. Ordine e precisione le consentono di mantenere il controllo, soprattutto sulle emozioni: ha già sofferto abbastanza in passato. Ma un giorno un estraneo si insinua nella sua vita, trasformandola come lei non avrebbe mai potuto immaginare. Un uomo uscito da chissà dove e che sembra non avere un passato, ma che mostra di conoscerla profondamente. Un uomo capace di farla star bene, di farla ridere, ballare, di farle guardare le stelle... Se tu mi vedessi ora è la storia di un amore magico. Presente o passato, reale o soltanto sognato non ha importanza, perché nell''amore è il segreto della vera felicità.

“C’è più di un semplice tocco fiabesco nei libri di Cecelia Ahern.” — Glamour Una storia di sentimenti autentici, scritta con freschezza e un pizzico di magia. Da quando una sua compagna di classe, anni prima, è scomparsa nel nulla, Sandy Shortt è ossessionata dalla paura della perdita: per questo ha dedicato la propria vita a cercare persone scomparse. Ma un giorno è proprio lei a scomparire: mentre fa jogging imbocca un sentiero poco tracciato in un bosco, e si ritrova in un luogo magico. Un posto chiamato Qui, dove finiscono tutte le cose e le persone smarrite, tutte le sensazioni, le voci, i suoni e gli odori dimenticati. Sandy vi ritrova oggetti perduti e le persone che ha cercato per tutta la vita, scordandosi di cercare se stessa. E ora, lontana dai propri cari e dalla casa da cui per tanti anni è fuggita, vuole una sola cosa: tornare indietro. Un posto chiamato Qui è un romanzo che celebra il valore dell’amicizia, l’importanza di amare ed essere amati.

Har du lurt på hvor det blir av alt som forsvinner? Det har Sandy Shortt gjort siden hun var ti år og nabojenta Jenny-May ble borte. Sandy blir besatt av å finne ting og personer som er forsvunnet. Men så en dag forsvinner Sandy selv. Endelig får hun svar på alle spørsmålene sine – og hun finner noe hun slett ikke hadde regnet med.

Un vero gotico dei nostri giorni, una storia traboccante di segreti di famiglia, intrighi e magia. — Booklist Tamara non ha mai dovuto preoccuparsi del futuro. Per lo meno, fino a quando una tragedia impensabile cambia per sempre la sua vita: il suicidio del padre non lascia dietro di sé che dolore, incredulità e una lunga lista di debiti. La ragazza e sua madre, senza più un soldo, sono obbligate a trasferirsi in campagna, nella contea di Meath. Qui, nel corso di lunghe passeggiate solitarie alle rovine del castello di Kilsaney, Tamara si imbatte in una bizzarra biblioteca ambulante, gestita da Marcus, un ragazzo bello e misterioso. Tra le pile di vecchi libri ce n’è uno, in particolare, che la attrae: non ha autore né titolo e le sue pagine sono tutte bianche, ma sembra possedere un incredibile potere. Quello di svelare ciò che ancora deve accadere. Una storia commovente e delicata che insegna a credere nel destino e nella forza sorprendente dei sogni.

Mit ihrer verzaubernden Phantasie und ihrem unnachahmlichen Humor erzählt Weltbestsellerautorin Cecelia Ahern von der wichtigsten Begegnung, die es für uns geben kann: mit dem eigenen Leben.

Als sie tatsächlich zu dem Termin geht und direkt vor ihm steht, ist Lucy dann aber doch überrascht: So hat sie sich ihr Leben wirklich nicht vorgestellt! Am liebsten würde sie es direkt wieder loswerden. Doch ihr Leben denkt gar nicht daran, sie in Ruhe zu lassen ... »Wunderbare und kluge Unterhaltungsliteratur.

Qual è il regalo più grande che puoi fare a te stesso? “All’ inizio vi ho detto che questa storia racconta di una persona che riscopre se stessa, e per la prima volta si rivela agli altri. Pensavate che parlassi di Lou Suffern, giusto? Sbagliato. Stavo parlando di tutti noi.” Lou Suffern è un uomo in carriera, in guerra perenne con l’orologio: per lui svegliarsi la mattina vuol dire passare direttamente “dal sonno al lavoro”; vorrebbe, dovrebbe essere sempre in almeno due posti contemporaneamente; e nella sua agenda ormai da anni non ci sono spazi vuoti: nemmeno per i suoi due bambini, che pure amano di un amore testardo quel papà che non c’è. Finché, a pochi giorni dal Natale, ogni cosa cambia. A compiere l’incantesimo è un incontro, inatteso come sanno essere a volte le cose più belle. L’incontro con un uomo misterioso, forse un imbroglione, forse un pazzo, di certo un angelo. Nella notte più magica dell’anno, Lou riceverà da lui il dono più straordinario: un po’ di quel tempo che ha così tenacemente sprecato nella sua vita frenetica, proprio mentre pensava di sfruttarlo il più possibile, dimenticando le cose e le persone importanti. Perché il tempo non possiamo comprarlo o ipotecarlo: possiamo solo condividerlo con quelli che amiamo. Il nuovo, acclamato romanzo di Cecelia Ahern è una favola romantica, emozionante e piena di sorprese: una storia che commuove e scalda il cuore proprio come un regalo di Natale inaspettato e perfetto.
