Рейтинг Goodreads
This powerful novel by a three-time National Book Award finalist delves into the enduring legacies of slavery on an antebellum plantation in Louisiana. Through intergenerational stories, Williams-Garcia confronts the routine horrors, buried secrets, and tangled bonds that bind those bound to the plantation. Essential reading for anyone grappling with America's long history of racism, this empathetic and brutal tale is a tour-de-force of human experience.

Рок-группа "Дейзи Джонс & The Six" стала настоящей легендой, а ее солистка, Дейзи, иконой своего времени. Едва ли не каждая девчонка мечтала вырасти и стать такой же яркой и талантливой, как Дейзи.

Даже десятилетия спустя подробности случившегося неизвестны, но о "Дейзи Джонс & The Six" помнит весь мир. Их история - это страсть, скандал и рок-н-ролл. Загадка, приправленная разрушительными влюбленностью, ревностью и аддикцией, а также прекрасной музыкой, покорившей сердца миллионов. Настало время раскрыть эту тайну. Дейзи Джонс, ваш выход!

This romantic novel follows the story of soap opera actress Jasmine Lin Rodriguez. After a public breakup, she returns to her hometown of New York City to star in a romantic comedy for a streaming service. However, a casting shake-up pairs her with hunky telenovela actor Ashton Suárez, and they must generate on-screen chemistry despite a disastrous first impression. As they rehearse in private, their romance becomes worthy of a soap opera, but the media spotlight threatens to expose Ashton's closely guarded secret and destroy Jasmine's new image.
