Ali McNamara Knihy

Scarlett miluje filmy… Ale miluje stejně i svého citlivého snoubence Davida? Jejich svatba je na spadnutí a Scarlett už by si měla být jistá tím, co chce; pro začátek by se měla přinejmenším vzdát svých snů, ve kterých se objevují nejznámější hollywoodské hvězdy, jako třeba Johnny Depp… Když Scarlett dostane šanci měsíc hlídat známým dům v Notting Hill, což je dějiště jejího oblíbeného filmu, neváhá ani vteřinu. Ale žít život, jako by to byl film, je zrádnější, než si myslela — hlavně proto, že její soused Sean ji šíleně vytáčí. Mimo jiné i tím, že je fešák. Scarlett brzy zjistí, že je hlavní hrdinkou své vlastní romantické komedie, jen není jasné, kdo bude nakonec hlavním hrdinou.

Když si Kate v idylickém přístavním městečku otevře řemeslný obchůdek, má pocit, že se jí splnily všechny sny. Brzy zjistí, že její krámek ukrývá tajemství – dávný milostný příběh vyprávěný prostřednictvím nádherných obrazů a složitých výšivek. Majitel obchodu s uměním Jack se nabídne, že Kate pomůže záhadu rozluštit. Jenže přitom si oba uvědomí, že jejich vlastní životy mají s Clarou a Artym, jejich protějšky z padesátých let, podobného víc, než by je napadlo. Podaří se Kate a Jackovi napravit desítky let starou křivdu a třeba najít i své vlastní štěstí?
