Melancia por Marian Keyes
Melancia conquistou uma legião de fãs no Brasil e no mundo ao contar a história de Claire Walsh e apresentar as mulheres da família Walsh, protagonistas de outros romances de Marian Keyes.Claire tinha tudo o que sempre quis na vida: um marido que ela idolatrava, um ótimo apartamento, um bom emprego. Mas, no que seria uma data muito especial em sua vida, o dia do nascimento da sua filha, James anuncia que a está deixando por uma vizinha com quem tem um caso há mais de seis meses. Com o coração partido, uma bebê recém-nascida e um corpo pós-parto para o qual ela mal consegue olhar, ela decide ir para a casa dos pais, em Dublin. Lá, recebendo os cuidados de sua excêntrica família, Claire avalia os prós e contras de um casamento de três anos e começa a se sentir melhor. Aliás, bem melhor. Até que o ex-marido reaparece, forçando-a a tomar uma decisão, que, de uma maneira ou de outra, mudará sua vida mais uma vez.Engraçadíssimo e irreverente, Melancia foi o romance que projetou a autora irlandesa Marian Keyes para o mundo todo. É um romance sobre sobrevivência e sobre a arte de manter o bom humor mesmo diante das circunstâncias mais adversas.… (mais)
