”Weinerin terävä äly tekee murhastakin viihdyttävän.” – The Miami Herald Lähiön täydellisten naisten hyvin hoidetun julkisivun takaa paljastuu salaisuuksia, valheita – ja yhteiskunnan vaatimusten kanssa tasapainottelua. Kate Kleinin elämä connecticutilaisessa lähiössä kulkee samoja uuvuttavia ratoja. Kolme alle viisivuotiasta lasta, kotona vain kääntymässä käyvä aviomies ja superäitien seurapiiri, johon ei millään tahdo päästä mukaan. Mutta kun yksi naapuruston äideistä murhataan, Katen mielenkiinto viriää ja hän heittäytyy tutkimuksiin – joka maanantai, keskiviikko ja perjantai kello 8.45-11.30, kun lapset ovat hoidossa. Jennifer Weinerin (s. 1970) romaaneja on myyty maailmanlaajuisesti yli 11 miljoonaa kappaletta 36 eri maassa. Hänen kirjansa nousevat järjestään ykkösiksi The New York Timesin bestsellerlistalla. Weinerin romaanit ovat täynnä hersyvää sanailua ja herkullisia henkilöhahmoja. Hänellä on taito kertoa kipeistäkin asioista kevyesti. The New York Times on nimittänyt Weinerin "kesäkirjojen kiistattomaksi kuningattareksi". Weiner asuu Philadelphiassa perheensä kanssa. * ”Hulvaton... Pakko lukea yhdeltä istumalta.” – Philadephia Enquirer ”Weiner kuvaa briljantisti yhteiskuntaluokkia, henkilöhahmojaan ja lähiötunnelmaa.” – The Washington Post Book World ”2000-luvun Peyton Place, mutta modernimpi, tyylikkäämpi ja hauskempi kuin esikuvansa.” – The Boston Globe ”Rikoksia ja hiekkakakkuja on tulvillaan Weinerin terävää älyä, selkeää proosaa ja pisteliäitä havaintoja.” – The Miami Herald ”Kiehtova murhamysteeri... Weiner panee huumorintajunsa likoon ja luo viihdyttävän lukukokemuksen.” – Newport News ”Ihastuttavan hauska lähiörouvamysteeri.” – Newsday

Onko paratiisia ilman käärmettä? Hiekkaa varpaiden välissä, auringon lämpö iholla, uusin Weiner kädessä tai korvissa – paras kesäkirja on tässä! Sarah Danhauserin kauhuksi hänen 22-vuotias tytärpuolensa Ruby ilmoittaa avioituvansa korona-aikaisen poikaystävänsä kanssa. Ja mikä pahinta, häät ovat vain kolmen kuukauden päästä suvun isossa rantatalossa Cape Codissa. Tie suureen päivään ei ole kuopaton: yleensä niin itsevarma Ruby huomaa yhä useammin miettivänsä äitiään, joka hylkäsi hänet vauvana. Sarahin veli on toipumassa suuresta surusta ja kyseenalaistaa nyt kaiken elämässään. Rubyn isä puolestaan kantaa suurta salaisuutta, joka paljastuessaan muuttaa kaiken. Kun hääpäivä valkenee, kaikki naamiot on riisuttu, väärinkäsitykset ovat saavuttaneet huippunsa ja salaisuudet tulleet päivänvaloon – nyt voi tapahtua mitä tahansa... ”Kesäparatiisi on niin hyvä, että se tulee olemaan jokaisen rantalukemista tänä kesänä.” – USA Today Jennifer Weinerin (s. 1970) romaaneja on myyty maailmanlaajuisesti yli 11 miljoonaa kappaletta 36 eri maassa.

The #1 New York Times bestselling author of Big Summer masterfully combines Stephen King with Donna Tartt, plus a twist of Shirley Jackson, in this timely tale of a man, his new partner, and his old dog. When he was a boy, it was just him and his mother, and when he was an adult, it was just him, alone. Michael Corcoran thought it would always be that way. Then he’d met Tina, who didn’t know that he’d never had friends, or what kinds of “experiments” he liked to do in his lab in the garage as a boy. Instead of being alone, Michael had a wife, and children and, eventually, a dog. Michael had promised himself he wasn’t going to be one of those people who pushed their dogs in carriages and called them “fur babies.” “Just wait,” Tina said—and soon enough, Lady was enjoying premium kibble and wearing a tiny Eagles jersey, plus special booties for the snow. He and Tina even developed a voice for Lady, a routine: a low, gruff, cigarettes-and whiskey tone that went with the tragic backstory they gave her. Then Tina found a lump in her breast. And then she was gone. And then small, determined Suzanne Nelson dropped by Michael’s newly empty apartment with some homemade lasagna and never left. The transition would’ve gone smoothly if not for Lady—and the lisping, babyish falsetto Suzanne used when she “talked” as the dog. Michael asked her to stop. And Suzanne did her best. But some things people can’t change, no matter how they try, like how they sound, and who they love—and who they are, in the wee small hours, when it’s dark and no one’s watching.

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER “Sexy and satisfying, Big Summer is the perfect quarantine read.” —USA TODAY “The beach read to end all beach reads.” —Entertainment Weekly “Big fun, and then some. It’s empowering and surprising—a reminder to put down the phone and enjoy each moment for what it is.” —The Washington Post A deliciously funny, remarkably poignant, and simply unputdownable novel about the power of friendship, the lure of frenemies, and the importance of making peace with yourself through all life’s ups and downs. From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Good in Bed and Best Friends Forever, Big Summer is the perfect escape with one of the most lovable heroines to come to the page in years. Six years after the fight that ended their friendship, Daphne Berg is shocked when Drue Cavanaugh walks back into her life, looking as lovely and successful as ever, with a massive favor to ask. Daphne hasn’t spoken one word to Drue in all this time—she doesn’t even hate-follow her ex-best friend on social media—so when Drue asks if she will be her maid-of-honor at the society wedding of the summer, Daphne is rightfully speechless. Drue was always the one who had everything—except the ability to hold onto friends. Meanwhile, Daphne’s no longer the same self-effacing sidekick she was back in high school. She’s built a life that she loves, including a growing career as a plus-size Instagram influencer. Letting glamorous, seductive Drue back into her life is risky, but it comes with an invitation to spend a weekend in a waterfront Cape Cod mansion. When Drue begs and pleads and dangles the prospect of cute single guys, Daphne finds herself powerless as ever to resist her friend’s siren song. A sparkling novel about the complexities of female relationships, the pitfalls of living out loud and online, and the resilience of the human heart, Big Summer is a witty, moving story about family, friendship, and figuring out what matters most.

In this instant New York Times bestseller and “multigenerational narrative that’s nothing short of brilliant” (People), two sisters’ lives from the 1950s to the present are explored as they struggle to find their places—and be true to themselves—in a rapidly evolving world from #1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Weiner. Jo and Bethie Kaufman were born into a world full of promise. Growing up in 1950s Detroit, they live in a perfect “Dick and Jane” house, where their roles in the family are clearly defined. Jo is the tomboy, the bookish rebel with a passion to make the world more fair; Bethie is the pretty, feminine good girl, a would-be star who enjoys the power her beauty confers and dreams of a traditional life. But the truth ends up looking different from what the girls imagined. Jo and Bethie survive traumas and tragedies. As their lives unfold against the background of free love and Vietnam, Woodstock and women’s lib, Bethie becomes an adventure-loving wild child who dives headlong into the counterculture and is up for anything (except settling down). Meanwhile, Jo becomes a proper young mother in Connecticut, a witness to the changing world instead of a participant. Neither woman inhabits the world she dreams of, nor has a life that feels authentic or brings her joy. Is it too late for the women to finally stake a claim on happily ever after? In “her most sprawling and intensely personal novel to date” (Entertainment Weekly), Jennifer Weiner tells a “simply unputdownable” (Good Housekeeping) story of two sisters who, with their different dreams and different paths, offer answers to the question: How should a woman be in the world?

Genom high school och college, äktenskap och skilsmässor, genom framgångar och förluster hittar Andy och Rachel om och om igen tillbaka till varandra. Tills de en gång för alla måste bestämma om kärleken är tillräcklig för att övervinna olikheterna och avståndet.

Kate''s move to suburbia has been full of unpleasant surprises, including a local murder. Kate is determined to solve the crime, leading her to the discovery of dirty secrets.

"Generous and entertaining." —Publishers Weekly (starred review) Finalist for the PEN/Diamonstein-Spielvogel Award for the Art of the Essay * Nominated for “Best Memoir & Autobiography” by Goodreads Choice Awards 2016 * Named a “Best Book of the Year” by New York Post "You''ll laugh, you''ll cry, you''ll want to read it again." —TheSkimm “I''m mad Jennifer''s Weiner''s first book of essays is as wonderful as her fiction. You will love this book and wish she was your friend." —Mindy Kaling, author of Why Not Me? "Fiercely funny, powerfully smart, and remarkably brave." —Cheryl Strayed, author of Wild Jennifer Weiner is many things: a bestselling author, a Twitter phenomenon, and an “unlikely feminist enforcer” (The New Yorker). She’s also a mom, a daughter, and a sister, a clumsy yogini, and a reality-TV devotee. In this “unflinching look at her own experiences” (Entertainment Weekly), Jennifer fashions tales of modern-day womanhood as uproariously funny and moving as the best of Nora Ephron and Tina Fey. No subject is off-limits in these intimate and honest essays: sex, weight, envy, money, her mother’s coming out of the closet, her estranged father’s death. From lonely adolescence to hearing her six-year-old daughter say the F word—fat—for the first time, Jen dives into the heart of female experience, with the wit and candor that have endeared her to readers all over the world.

The bestselling "In Her Shoes"--soon to be a major motion picture by Fox 2000 starring Cameron Diaz, Toni Collette, and Shirley MacLaine--is now available in paperback. As she did in "Good in Bed," Weiner has created a story that is by turns poignant and comical as she unfolds the tale of how three women who have nothing in common but their shoe size find each other--and themselves.

A haunting, original eStory from Jennifer Weiner. When Eleanor Goode meets Gerald King, she''s a senior at Wellesley who''s won all the writing prizes. He''s just published his first novel, Dirty Blond, and is well on his way to becoming one of the literary lions of his day. Gerry seduces Ellie, spinning her a fantasy of working with him, two writers, side by side. How could she have known that, in their years together, it would be one typewriter, not two; his words, not hers? How she would become the fetcher of coffee, the holder of trinkets fans would press into his hands after readings, the keeper of his legacy. A Memoir of Grief (Continued) begins with Gerald’s death. Ellie, who hasn''t written more than a grocery list in decades of marriage, had no intention of writing a memoir. It''s not until she realizes how broke he left her that she decides to write a whitewashed account of her life with the Great Man of Letters. Widow''s Walk spends over a year on the New York Times bestseller list. Critics hail Ellie''s talent, the revelatory way she writes about grief, and how to live through it.
