But over the course of twenty-four hours, the family drama that ensues will change their lives forever. Malibu: August 1983. It’s the day of Nina Riva’s annual end-of-summer party, and anticipation is at a fever pitch. Everyone wants to be around the famous Rivas: Nina, the talented surfer and supermodel; brothers Jay and Hud, one a championship surfer, the other a renowned photographer; and their adored baby sister, Kit. Together the siblings are a source of fascination in Malibu and the world over—especially as the offspring of the legendary singer Mick Riva. The only person not looking forward to the party of the year is Nina herself, who never wanted to be the center of attention, and who has also just been very publicly abandoned by her pro tennis player husband. Oh, and maybe Hud—because it is long past time for him to confess something to the brother from whom he’s been inseparable since birth. Jay, on the other hand, is counting the minutes until nightfall, when the girl he can’t stop thinking about promised she’ll be there. And Kit has a couple secrets of her own—including a guest she invited without consulting anyone. By midnight the party will be completely out of control. By morning, the Riva mansion will have gone up in flames. But before that first spark in the early hours before dawn, the alcohol will flow, the music will play, and the loves and secrets that shaped this family’s generations will all come rising to the surface. Malibu Rising is a story about one unforgettable night in the life of a family: the night they each have to choose what they will keep from the people who made them . . . and what they will leave behind.

Da mesma autora de Os Sete Maridos de Evelyn Hugo Vencedor do Prémio Goodreads Toda a gente conhece os icónicos Daisy Jones & The Six, mas nunca ninguém soube o que levou à sua separação no auge da popularidade... Até agora. Durante a adolescência, no final da década de 1960, Daisy Jones descobre a noite de Los Angeles: os bares, as estrelas de rock, o sexo e as drogas. Mas o que ela quer realmente é escrever as suas próprias canções. Com uma voz rouca, uma beleza distintiva e uma atitude confiante, Daisy está no caminho certo para o sucesso. Os The Six, a banda dos irmãos Billy e Graham Dunne, começam também a ganhar alguma notoriedade, mas o ritmo da vida na estrada, as groupies e o álcool levam a que Billy comece a descarrilar, tanto em palco como na sua vida pessoal. Os caminhos de Daisy e Billy cruzam-se quando o produtor musical da banda decide juntar as duas vozes num dueto, que resulta num êxito estrondoso. A partir daí, os Daisy Jones & The Six começam a tocar em todos os gira-discos, os seus concertos esgotam os recintos e a banda torna-se uma verdadeira lenda. Esta é a história dos primeiros tempos e das noites loucas, mas todos os membros da banda recordam o que aconteceu de maneira diferente. Porque nem sempre é fácil perceber onde acaba a música e começam os sentimentos. Os elogios da crítica: «A Daisy e a banda conquistaram o meu coração e vão certamente conquistar o vosso também.» — Reese Witherspoon

This is a breathtaking love story about a woman unexpectedly forced to choose between the husband she has long thought dead and the fiancé who has finally brought her back to life.

THE SUNDAY TIMES AND NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ''I LOVE it . . . I can''t remember the last time I read a book that was so fun'' DOLLY ALDERTON _________________ They were the new icons of rock and roll, fated to burn bright and not fade away. But on 12 July 1979, it all came crashing down. There was Daisy, rock and roll force of nature, brilliant songwriter and unapologetic drug addict, the half-feral child who rose to superstardom. There was Camila, the frontman''s wife, too strong-willed to let the band implode - and all too aware of the electric connection between her husband and Daisy. There was Karen, ice-cool keyboardist, a ferociously independent woman in a world that wasn''t ready for her. And there were the men surrounding them: the feuding, egotistical Dunne brothers, the angry guitarist chafing on the sidelines, the drummer binge-drinking on his boat, the bassist trying to start a family amid a hedonistic world tour. They were creative minds striking sparks from each other, ready to go up in flames. It''s never just about the music... _________________ ''Brace for 2019''s first pop-culture sensation . . . we''re not exaggerating . . . new obsession, incoming'' TELEGRAPH ''Utterly believable...fantastically enjoyable'' THE TIMES ''Pitch perfect'' SUNDAY TIMES ''Reads like an addictive Netflix documentary meets A Star Is Born - despite being utterly fictional.

HEPHZIBAH ANDERSON, MAIL ON SUNDAY ''The characters leap off the page, seducing you with their dramas, and making you wish the band was real.''
