isa Gardner has long been an ace practitioner of the psychological
crime novel, and her skills don't desert her in her latest outing,
Live To Tell.There are a host of thrillers vying for our attention
at present, and the quality on offer ranges from the indifferent
through the workmanlike to the genuinely inventive. Lisa Gardner
has demonstrated in such books as The Other Daughter and The
Perfect Husband that she’s more than capable of delivering the
genuine article: thrillers which function on both the plotting and
character levels, always couched in smart, well-honed prose. If
Live To Tell isn’t quite vintage Gardner, it’s still an impressive
piece of work – and better than most of her rivals could produce. A
savage crime has rocked a working class neighbourhood of Boston,
four members of a family have been brutally murdered. The father is
lying in an intensive care unit, his survival in doubt. He is the
principal suspect. Female police detective DD Warren, however, is
not one to take things at face value. At the same time, Danielle
Burton is about to have her life thrown into turmoil, a nurse whose
life is at the service of her profession, she has tentatively
recovered from a devastating family tragedy of decades before – and
the investigation by Warren and her partner is about the throw
Danielle’s life into chaos once again. There is one more angle to
the triangle: the devotion of a mother, Victoria Oliver, to her
disturbed son is about to be tested to the limit.
V januári 1965 Gabriel García Márquez cestoval s rodinou na
dovolenku do Acapulca, keď odrazu dostal nápad. Začul vravu
mestečka Macondo. Už vedel, ako napíše svoj nový román. Vrátil sa
domov, zatvoril sa do pracovne, a keď z nej po osemnástich
mesiacoch vyšiel, v ruke držal 1 300 strán rukopisu a bol šťastný.
Román Sto rokov samoty prvý raz vyšiel v roku 1967, Márquez mal
vtedy 39 rokov a svet si navždy zapamätal jeho meno. Dnes je román
považovaný za jedno z najvýznamnejších diel latinskoamerickej a
svetovej literatúry. Je komponovaný z množstva reálnych aj
fantazijných epizód a rozpráva o pôvabných i krutých príhodách
šiestich generácií rodiny Buendíovcov z fiktívneho mestečka
Macondo.
