She combines an almost militant support for her subject with a considered analysis of her books and plays.' - Economist'Admirably scrupulous' - New York Times'Nobody in the world was more inadequate to act the heroine than I was.'Why did Agatha Christie spend her career pretending that she was 'just' an ordinary housewife, when clearly she wasn't?

The Less You Know The Sounder You Sleep
Kiadó: Harper CollinsMegdöbbentő történet valós háttérrel, igaz szereplőkkel. Egy megrázó regény, melyet a sztálini Szovjetunióban született sziámi ikerpár Mása és Dása Krivosljapova élete ihletett.Egy igaz, mesének egyáltalán nem mondható történet túlélésről,ártatlanságról, szerelemről és hazugságokról.Mikor Mása és Dása megszületett - egy törzsüknél fogva összenőtt sziámi ikerpár - senki sem gondolta volna, hogy túlélik a gyermekkort. Sem a szovjet tudósok, akik csak valami fura lényként kezelték őket, akiket tanulmányozni kell, sem más defektusosgyerek, akik csak bántalmazták őket, sem az egészségesek, akiktől viszont elzárták őket. De az életösztön mindennél erősebb!Senki sem ismerte valójában az ikreket. Csodálkoztak is azon, hogy rendelkezhetnek ennyire eltérő személyiséggel? Míg Dása visszahúzódó és csendes volt, mindentől és mindenkitől félt, addig Mása pont az ellenkezője volt. Fegyelmezhetetlen, félelemnélküli kis lény.És ő elhatározta, hogy életben marad.Életben maradnak, bármibe is kerül!Az ikrek egészen a pokoli sztálini kommunizmustól kezdve a putyini demokráciáig igyekeztek többek lenni, mint az egyikrek. Próbáltak valódi, teljes életet élni, reménykedni, szerelmet találni a világ egyik legszeretetlenebb helyén.Sokáig Mása volt az erősebb személyiség. De Dása erőre kapott. Ha ő is teljes életet akar élni, minden bátorságát össze kell ahhoz szednie, hogy kiemelkedjen nővére árnyékából.Based on the true story of conjoined Russian twins, Masha and Dasha Krivoshlyapova, The Less You Know the Sounder You Sleep is a tale of survival and self-determination, innocence and lies.No one expects Dasha and Masha to live beyond childhood. Not the Soviet scientists who study them, the other 'defective' children who bully them, or the 'healthies' from whom the twins must be locked away.But they don't know Masha like her sister does. While Dasha is gentle and quiet and fears everything, her twin is fearless and irrepressible and determined they will survive. Whatever the cost.Through the seismic shifts of Stalin's communism to the beginnings of Putin's democracy, the sisters strive to be more than just 'the together twins', finding hope - and love - in the unlikeliest of places.But strength can come in many different forms and if Dasha is to live more than half a life she must find the courage to emerge from her sister's shadow.TovábbISBN: 9780008203795nyelv(ek): angolRaktárkészlet: 1-10 pldWebes ár:
