Emily Griffin Knihy

Niečo požičané je vrúcny príbeh plný citu a emócií, inteligentný a plynúci ľahučko ako dych. A pritom hovorí o banálnom ľudskom zlyhaní – snúbenec sa krátko pred svadbou zaľúbi do najlepšej priateľky svojej snúbenice. Rachel si na oslave svojich tridsiatych narodenín, ktorú pre ňu usporiadala jej najlepšia priateľka Darcy, uvedomí, že život vôbec nespĺňa jej predstavy. Pracuje síce v prestížnej advokátskej kancelárii na Manhattane, kde si zarobila na vlastný byt, ale okrem úmornej práce a víkendových stretnutí s priateľmi ju nič nenapĺňa a cíti sa osamelá. A potom sa to stane. Darcin snúbenec Dex odprevadí Rachel po večierku domov a skončia spolu v posteli. Obaja to chcú považovať len za jednorazový úlet, ale uvedomia si, že cítia k sebe o niečo viac. Stretávajú sa aj naďalej, vychutnávajú si každú minútu spoločného času vediac, že ide o zakázanú lásku. Je na Dexovi, aby sa rozhodol, či zruší svadbu a zostane s Rachel, alebo sa vráti späť k Darcy. Kniha sa po vydaní stala bestsellerom nielen v USA, ale aj v Austrálii. Príbeh bol sfilmovaný a podľa knižnej predlohy vznikla aj divadelná hra, ktorá slávi úspech na divadelných doskách doteraz. Autorka oživila príťažlivý príbeh priateľského a mileneckého vzťahu majstrovsky stvárnenými postavami a pozvoľna odkrýva ich pravé tváre a city.

Jestliže Něco vypůjčeného…, autorčin první román, vyprávěla Rachel, ta zodpovědnější a morálnější z dvojice kamarádek, přestože přebrala té druhé snoubence, pokračování knihy vypráví Darcy, ta, jíž šlo všechno vždycky hladce a s ničím si nedělala vrásky, natož aby měla morální dilema. Podle rčení, že "boží mlýny melou pomalu, ale jistě" uvízla v těhotenství s mužem, který je ještě lehkomyslnější než ona a rozhodně si ji nehodlá vzít.Jako předtím její kamarádka i ona v době krize zvedne plachty a odlétá na čas z New Yorku do Londýna. Očekává, že tam se pro ni vše uspokojivě vyřeší. Je to ovšem dlouhá cesta, na které se musí změnit.

"Giffin excels at creating complex characters and stories that ask us to explore what we really want from our lives."--Atlanta Journal-Constitution Tessa Russo is the mother of two young children and the wife of a renowned pediatric surgeon. Despite her own mother's warnings, Tessa has recently given up her career to focus on her family and the pursuit of domestic happiness. From the outside, she seems destined to live a charmed life. Valerie Anderson is an attorney and single mother to six-year-old Charlie--a boy who has never known his father. After too many disappointments, she has given up on romance--and even to some degree, friendships--believing that it is always safer not to expect too much. Although both women live in the same Boston suburb, the two have relatively little in common aside from a fierce love for their children. But one night, a tragic accident causes their lives to converge in ways no one could have imagined. In alternating, pitch-perfect points of view, Emily Giffin's Heart of the Matter creates a moving, luminous story of good people caught in untenable circumstances. In Heart of the Matter, each is tested in ways they never thought possible. Each questions everything they once believed. And each ultimately discovers what truly matters most.

All's well until one of them has a change of heart. Someone wants a baby after all. This is the witty, heartfelt story about what happens to the perfect couple when they suddenly want different things and there is no compromise. It's about deciding what is most important in life and wagering everything to get it. And most of all, it's about the things we will--and won't--do for love.

As the wedding date draws near, events spiral out of control, and Rachel knows she must make a choice between her heart and conscience. In doing so, she discovers that the lines between right and wrong can be blurry, endings aren't always neat, and sometimes you have to risk everything to be true to yourself.Something BlueDarcy Rhone has always been able to rely on a few things: her beauty and charm. Her fiancé Dex. Her best friend Rachel. She never needed anything or anyone else. Or so she thought until she uncovered the ultimate betrayal.

But to her dismay, she discovers that her tried-and-true tricks no longer apply--and that her luck has finally expired.
