Софи Кинселла " Ты умеешь хранить секреты?" / Sophie Kinsella "Can you keep a secret?"
104
 
 

altТайны. Маленькие женские тайны.
Тайны, которыми можно поделиться лишь со случайным попутчиком в самолете. Удобно? Безопасно? Возможно... Но помните, женщины, - все, что вы когда-нибудь скажете мужчине, может быть рано или поздно использовано против вас! Если, конечно, вы не способны разузнать и его секреты, а потом отплатить ему той же монетой...
With the same wicked humor, buoyant charm, and optimism that have made her Shopaholic novels beloved international bestsellers, Sophie Kinsella delivers a hilarious new novel and an unforgettable new character.

The Things They CarriedThe Things They Carried

In 1979, Tim O'Brien's Going After Cacciato--a novel about the Vietnam War--won the National Book Award. In this, his second work of fiction about Vietnam, O'Brien's unique artistic vision is again clearly demonstrated. Neither a novel nor a short story collection, it is an arc of fictional episodes, taking place in the childhoods of its characters, in the jungles of Vietnam and back home in America two decades later.
