New Releases by Ann Brashares

Кармен купила джинсы в комиссионном магазине. Выглядели они не очень хорошо: поношенные, грязные, в пятнах отбеливателя. Кармен решает их выбросить, но ее лучшие подруги Тибби, Лина и Бриджет считают, что штаны великолепны. Девочки решают: кому они больше подойдут – тому и достанутся. Однако штаны, ко всеобщему удивлению, подходят всем идеально. Даже Кармен, которой никогда не нравится, как на ней сидит одежда. За несколькими пакетами сырных булочек подруги решают создать Союз «Волшебные Штаны»… А на следующий день наступают летние каникулы, и девочки прощаются до нового учебного года. Тут-то и начинается путешествие штанов и самое запоминающееся лето в жизни четырех подруг.

Si chiamano Lena, Tibby, Carmen e Bee e sono amiche da sempre, perfino da prima di nascere, perché le loro madri erano amiche quando le aspettavano. Sono diventate grandi insieme, ciascuna con la propria personalità, ciascuna bella a modo suo, speciale a modo suo. Poi arriva l''estate in cui devono separarsi per la prima volta. Un paio di jeans trovati in un negozio dell''usato saranno il loro legame per quelle vacanze: se li spediranno e li indosseranno a turno, e grazie ai magici pantaloni viaggianti saranno insieme anche se lontane, con mille storie da raccontarsi, in quella prima estate e in quelle che seguiranno. Tra i 100 migliori libri per Giovani adulti di tutti i tempi secondo la rivista "Time".

''J''ai voulu écrire l''histoire d''une famille avec de multiples points de vue, mais aussi celle d''un divorce perçu de l''intérieur et de l''extérieur. Je viens d''une famille peu conventionnelle et "fracturée", j''ai toujours été attirée par ce sujet'' Ann Brashares.

"A gorgeous exploration of family, secrets, and love." —Teen Vogue From the bestselling author of the beloved Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series, comes a “must-read” (PopCrush) novel about two teenagers who have never met but share the same room on alternating weeks during an unforgettable summer. Previously published as The Whole Thing Together. For Sasha, summer means time at her family''s sprawling old house out on Long Island. For Ray, it''s the same. Sasha and Ray aren''t related--and they''ve never met--but long ago, before they were born, Sasha''s dad and Ray''s mom were married. Then came a bitter divorce, remarriages, and a new generation of children. Now, the two families have an arrangement: use the summerhouse at your designated time and never cross paths. Sasha and Ray do connect, though, by email--joking around, confiding in one another, forming a friendship. They''ve shared so much already . . . what would happen if they met in real life? "A gorgeously written novel on love, loss, and family." —Nicola Yoon, #1 New York Times bestselling author

Het zomerhuis is een prachtige YA-roman en ultiem zomerboek van bestsellerauteur Ann Brashares, die internationaal doorbrak met haar succesvolle serie 4 vriendinnen, 1 spijkerbroek. Sinds hun geboorte delen Sasha en Ray drie halfzussen, een zomerhuis en één slaapkamer. Sasha’s vader was ooit getrouwd met Rays moeder, maar sinds hun scheiding ontlopen ze elkaar. In hun zomerhuis komen ze nu met hun nieuwe gezinnen, maar nooit tegelijk. Zo komt het dat Ray en Sasha in hetzelfde bed slapen, zonder elkaar ooit ontmoet te hebben. Toch intrigeert die andere kant van de familie. Door een onverwachte ontmoeting, een explosief familiefeest en een lang verzwegen geheim wordt alles op zijn kop gezet. Kan er uit deze chaos ook iets moois ontstaan?

A beautifully written novel about love, class differences, and betrayal playing out over the course of a fractured American family’s Long Island summer from #1 New York Times bestselling author Ann Brashares, author of the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series. “A gorgeously written novel on love, loss and family.” —NICOLA YOON, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Everything, Everything Summer for Sasha and Ray means the sprawling old house on Long Island. Since they were children, they’ve shared almost everything—reading the same books, running down the same sandy footpaths to the beach, eating peaches from the same market, laughing around the same sun-soaked dining table. Even sleeping in the same bed, on the very same worn cotton sheets. But they’ve never met. Sasha’s dad was once married to Ray’s mom, and together they had three daughters: Emma, the perfectionist; Mattie, the beauty; and Quinn, the favorite. But the marriage crumbled and the bitterness lingered. Now there are two new families—and neither one will give up the beach house that holds the memories, happy and sad, of summers past. The choices we make come back to haunt us; the effect on our destinies ripples out of our control . . . or does it? This summer, the lives of Sasha, Ray, and their siblings intersect in ways none of them ever dreamed, in a novel about family relationships, keeping secrets, and most of all, love. ★ “Masterful.” —PW, Starred ★ “A continuous, consistently engrossing narrative . . . deeply moving.” —The Bulletin, Starred “A gorgeous exploration of family, secrets, and love.” —Teen Vogue “You absolutely must read it.” —PopCrush An Amazon Best of the Month Selection A Teen Choice Book Award nominee!

The long, hot summers spent on Fire Island have always been the highlight of the year for sisters Riley and Alice.

Then Paul goes to university, and he leaves them both behind him. Three years later, as Alice prepares to start Law School, Paul returns. The trick, he tells himself, is to have what he had without destroying it. But their world will change irresistibly, wonderfully and tragically, with every breath they take.

"Prima dei pantaloni viaggianti non sapevamo come rimanere unite quando eravamo lontane. Non sentivamo ancora di essere più grandi e più forti del tempo che passavamo insieme."

Riley, Alice et Paul, les deux soeurs et l''ami d''enfance. C''est l''été des retrouvailles : côté Est des Etats-Unis, plages de l''île qu''on connait par coeur, maisons de vacances. Mais tout a changé, ils ont 20 ans, l''amitié se trouble. Entre Alice et Paul, une attirance nouvelle s''installe. C''est alors que la tragédie frappe. Une fois de plus, Ann Brashares nous emporte dans une histoire d''amour et d''émotion.

La vita come l''abbiamo conosciuta finora sta finendo. Domani sera inaugureremo il terzo viaggio estivo dei pantaloni. Domani comincia il tempo della vita, quello in cui avremo più bisogno dei pantaloni."

Un appassionante viaggio nel tempo scandito dai battiti del cuore Daniel ha attraversato gli oceani del tempo per trovare Sophia. La sua “memoria” – la capacità di ricordare le sue tante vite passate – è per lui un dono ma anche una maledizione. Sophia ora si chiama Lucy, è una studentessa liceale, e non crede a una sola parola di ciò che le dice Daniel: le sembra impossibile che in passato si siano amati e poi siano stati separati da una crudele forza misteriosa. Ma lui sa che si sono conosciuti molto tempo prima, nel 541 d.C. E poi, nel corso dei secoli, Daniel l’ha sempre rincorsa pur di stare insieme a lei: sulla via per la Cappadocia nel 776, nell’Inghilterra del 1918, e poi in Virginia nel 1972. Brevi, fugaci attimi che la morte ha sempre brutalmente spezzato. Anche oggi le loro anime si stanno cercando, e ancora una volta quella forza oscura è pronta a separarli. Un romanzo magico, un’avventura romantica che si snoda attraverso i secoli per abbracciare non una, ma tante vite, inseguendo l’unico, vero, grande amore. «Un romantico e avvincente viaggio nel tempo che affascinerà i giovani quanto gli adulti.» The Washington Post «Ann Brashares riesce a descrivere a fondo i sentimenti e le passioni.
