Sumár recenzie
Kniha Adelaide vyvoláva záujem nielen svojou krásnou obálkou, ale aj hlbokým príbehom debutového románu od Genevieve Wheeler. Hlavná postava, dvadsaťšesťročná Adelaide, musí čeliť tragédiám a zároveň sa snaží udržať nestabilný vzťah s Rorym. Autorčin pohľad na duševné zdravie a emočnú vnímavosť postáv je veľmi autentický a silný. Kniha predstavuje dôležitý odkaz o starostlivosti o psychiku a nádeji aj v najtemnejších chvíľach.
