August,1983, it is the day of Nina Riva's annual end-of-summer party, and anticipation is at a fever pitch. Everyone who is anyone wants to be around the famous Rivas: surfer and supermodel Nina, brothers Jay and Hud, and their adored baby sister Kit. Together, the siblings are a source of fascination in Malibu and the world over - especially as the children of the legendary singer Mick Riva.

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 of dawn, the alcohol will flow, the music will play, and the loves and secrets that shaped this family will all come bubbling to the surface.

Malibu, 27 août 1983.

La fête annuelle de Nina Riva est l’évènement le plus attendu de l’année à Malibu. Star du show-biz, politique ou serveuse au drugstore du coin, tout le monde rêve d’être invité, car ce n’est pas seulement la fête la plus notoirement décadente de toute la côte Ouest, c’est aussi l’occasion d’approcher les Riva.

Nina, Hud, Jay et Kit, non contents d’être les enfants du chanteur qui fait vibrer l’Amérique, sont eux-mêmes un modèle de succès. Ils sont jeunes, ils sont beaux, ils sont talentueux et ont le monde à leurs pieds. Mais sous le vernis des apparences se cachent bien des secrets.

Si à minuit la fête bat son plein, au matin, le passé sera venu frapper à la porte des Riva et leur manoir de verre au sommet de la falaise sera en feu.

Taylor Jenkins Reid vit à Los Angeles. Après un début de carrière dans l’industrie du cinéma, elle s’est tournée vers l’écriture. Elle est aujourd’hui l’autrice de six romans qui ont connu un grand succès aux États-Unis et à l’international.

Le coup de cœur de Reese Wetherspoon !

Un irrésistible page-turner raconté sous la forme d’une interview.

La légende de Daisy Jones transporte instantanément les lecteurs dans l’univers du rock n'roll des années 70 et les immerge dans le chaos créatif au coeur du duo artistique le plus magnétique - et compliqué - de cette époque : celui de Daisy Jones et Billy Dunne. Quand la jeune starlette Daisy Jones est associée par son manager à Billy Dunne et son groupe “The Six” sur leur album "Aurora ", personne ne pouvait imaginer l’alchimie musicale qui naîtrait de cette rencontre.
C’est le premier pas vers une multitude de grammys et un succès planétaire. Mais la même énergie bouillonnante qui a donné naissance à cet album iconique va déchirer les membres du groupe pour ne laisser dans son sillage que regrets, ressentiment et désirs contrariés. Comme de si nombreux partenariats artistiques, celui qui unit la libre et insaisissable Daisy et le charismatique mais torturé Billy marquera l’histoire. Mais le mystère de ce qui a causé la séparation du groupe mythique demeure... et c’est ce secret qui va être révélé dans ce roman sous forme d’interviews, faisant renaître sous les yeux du lecteur une histoire qu’il n’oubliera jamais !

Everybody knows Daisy Jones and the Six.

From the moment Daisy walked barefoot on to the stage at the Whisky, she and the band were a sensation.

Their sound defined an era. Their albums were on every turntable. They played sold-out arenas from coast to coast.

Then, on 12 July 1979, it all came crashing down.

They were lovers, friends, brothers. But they were also rivals.

This is the story of their legendary rise and irrevocable fall. A story of ambition, desire, heartbreak and music.

Everyone was there. Everyone remembers it differently. Nobody knew why they split. Until now...

Carrie Soto is fierce, and her determination to win at any cost has not made her popular.

By the time Carrie retires from tennis, she is the best player the world has ever seen. She has shattered every record and claimed twenty Slam titles. And if you ask her, she is entitled to every one. She sacrificed nearly everything to become the best, with her father as her coach.

But six years after her retirement, Carrie finds herself sitting in the stands of the 1994 US Open, watching her record be taken from her by a brutal, stunning, British player named Nicki Chan.

At thirty-seven years old, Carrie makes the monumental decision to come out of retirement and be coached by her father for one last year in an attempt to reclaim her record. Even if the sports media says that they never liked the 'Battle-Axe' anyway. Even if her body doesn't move as fast as it did. And even if it means swallowing her pride to train with a man she once almost opened her heart to: Bowe Huntley. Like her, he has something to prove before he gives up the game forever.

In spite of it all: Carrie Soto is back, for one epic final season. In this riveting and unforgettable novel, Taylor Jenkins Reid tells a story about the cost of greatness and a legendary athlete attempting a comeback.

Com todo o esplendor que só a Hollywood do século passado pode oferecer, esta é uma narrativa inesquecível sobre os sacrifícios que fazemos por amor, o perigo dos segredos e o preço da fama.

Lendária estrela de Hollywood, Evelyn Hugo sempre esteve sob os holofotes — seja estrelando uma produção vencedora do Oscar, protagonizando algum escândalo ou aparecendo com um novo marido… pela sétima vez. Agora, prestes a completar oitenta anos e reclusa em seu apartamento no Upper East Side, a famigerada atriz decide contar a própria história — ou sua "verdadeira história" —, mas com uma condição: que Monique Grant, jornalista iniciante e até então desconhecida, seja a entrevistadora. Ao embarcar nessa misteriosa empreitada, a jovem repórter começa a se dar conta de que nada é por acaso — e que suas trajetórias podem estar profunda e irreversivelmente conectadas.

"Evelyn Hugo faz Elizabeth Taylor parecer sem graça. Você vai rir com ela, chorar, sofrer, e então voltar para a primeira página e fazer tudo de novo." — Heather Cocks e Jessica Morgan, autoras de The Royal We

The repercussions of an illicit affair unfold in this short story by bestselling author Taylor Jenkins Reid.

Dear stranger…

A desperate young woman in Southern California sits down to write a letter to a man she’s never met—a choice that will forever change both their lives.

My heart goes out to you, David. Even though I do not know you…

The correspondence between Carrie Allsop and David Mayer reveals, piece by piece, the painful details of a devastating affair between their spouses. With each commiserating scratch of the pen, they confess their fears and bare their souls. They share the bewilderment over how things went so wrong and come to wonder where to go from here.

Told entirely through the letters of two comforting strangers and those of two illicit lovers, Evidence of the Affair explores the complex nature of the heart. And ultimately, for one woman, how liberating it can be when it’s broken.
