The Moment of Everything

Shelly King
Goodreads  
Grand Central Publishing • 2014

In the tradition of The Cookbook Collector comes a funny, romantic novel about a young woman finding her calling while saving a used bookstore.Maggie Duprès, recently "involuntarily separated from pay...yroll" at a Silicon Valley startup, is whiling away her days in The Dragonfly's Used Books, a Mountain View institution, waiting for the Next Big Thing to come along.When the opportunity arises for her to network at a Bay Area book club, she jumps at the chance-even if it means having to read Lady Chatterley's Lover, a book she hasn't encountered since college, in an evening. But the edition she finds at the bookstore is no Penguin Classics Chatterley--it's an ancient hardcover with notes in the margins between two besotted lovers of long ago. What Maggie finds in her search for the lovers and their fate, and what she learns about herself in the process, will surprise and move readers.Witty and sharp-eyed in its treatment of tech world excesses, but with real warmth at its core, The Moment of Everything is a wonderful read.

Okamžik všeho

Dnešný príspevok bude o knižke Okamžik všeho od americkej autorky Shelly Kingovej. S touto pani som až do týchto čias nemala žiadnu osobnú skúsenosť, preto som do čítania išla ako do veľkého neznáma. Oplatilo sa? Okamžik všeho sa odvíja okolo hlavnej hrdinky Maggie, ktorú vykopli z jej práce v Silicon Valley, preto si kráti dni […]

Shelly Kingová .:. Okamžik všeho

Tentokrát to začalo úplně nenápadně.Měl jsem za sebou pár, ne úplně špičkových, čtenářských večerů a cítil jsem ve své knihomolské duši, že už opravdu potřebuju ten pravý čtenářský zážitek. Něco jednoduchého, prudce čtivého. S tím hřejivým pocitem uvnitř, který dělá spokojeného člověka opravdu spokojeným. Potřeboval jsem knihu, kterou po přečtení okamžitě neodložím na své místo v knihovně,[...]

In the tradition of The Cookbook Collector comes a funny, romantic novel about a young woman finding her calling while saving a used bookstore.

Maggie Duprès, recently "involuntarily separated from payroll" at a Silicon Valley startup, is whiling away her days in The Dragonfly's Used Books, a Mountain View institution, waiting for the Next Big Thing to come along.

When the opportunity arises for her to network at a Bay Area book club, she jumps at the chance-even if it means having to read Lady Chatterley's Lover, a book she hasn't encountered since college, in an evening. But the edition she finds at the bookstore is no Penguin Classics Chatterley--it's an ancient hardcover with notes in the margins between two besotted lovers of long ago. What Maggie finds in her search for the lovers and their fate, and what she learns about herself in the process, will surprise and move readers.

Witty and sharp-eyed in its treatment of tech world excesses, but with real warmth at its core, The Moment of Everything is a wonderful read.
