Odvážny plán – sila jednoduchej ženy

Sumár recenzie
Recenzentka si vybrala knihu Odvážny plán kvôli záujmu o chémiu, peknej obálke a pútavej anotácii. Hlavná hrdinka, Rosalinda Wernerová, je talentovaná biochemička pracujúca na chlórovaní vody, ktoré vzbudzuje odpor obyvateľov, hoci bez neho by voda šírila choroby, ktoré jej kedysi zabili rodičov. Nick Drake je inštalatér a novopečený milionár; obaja chcú čistú a bezpečnú vodu, no rozchádzajú sa v metódach, medzi nimi preskočí iskra a navyše ich ohrozuje tajomný pomstychtivý útočník. Autorka Elizabeth Camdenová podopiera príbeh historickými a vedeckými detailmi; román je napínavý, dojímavý a vhodný pre čitateľov, ktorí majú radi silné ženské hrdinky, historické romány, nenakyslú romantiku a vedecké či spoločenské témy.
