"Желание на звезду" - это веселая романтическая комедия от бестселлерного автора "Клуб первых жен". Идеально подходит для фанатов Кэндес Бушнелл.
Клэр - секретарь из Стейтен-Айленда, которая каждое утро ездит на пароме в Манхэттен и работает с 9 до 5 в юридической фирме, читая романтические романы и отчаянно желая, чтобы ее жизнь была такой же полной приключений, как у героинь в книгах. Но все меняется, когда ей предоставляется возможность поездки в Лондон - все расходы оплачиваются.
Когда Клэр ступает на британскую землю, она безумно влюбляется - в страну. Жизнь в Нью-Йорке забывается, и она снимает комнату, чтобы начать совершенно новую жизнь как американка в Лондоне. Но она не учитывает препятствующих усилий очень закомплексованного англичанина...
Olivia Goldsmith's Wish Upon A Star is a sparklingly romantic comedy for fans of the fabulous Candace Bushnell, sly wit and charm encompassed in this very Brit-com style novel. Taking place entirely whilst our heroine, freelance secretarialist/American exile Claire (a typical Staten Island woman, quick with the kettle and longing for her own James Bond adventure) is in England completing a ten-day placement trip sponsored by work, the book pits her against strict Tawny Parsonage neighbour and newfound suitor Simon (we can already hear an ABBA rendition of Take A Chance On Me in the offing) – raising various ethical quandaries and underlying lessons about the art of international romance in one deliciously measured volume. Mic drop. Loved? Long-time fans will find new things to appreciate while novices will happily open up their hearts (or rather, their satisfaction sliders) to an entertaining mix of instantly relatable plot points and fillers and finely-spun cultural missives between modern Britain and its multinational occupants. What makes Goldsmith shine is her incredible ability to capture our modern marrying of work and pleasure in such adroitly compassionate and endearing fashion, resulting in a novel brimming with both the light-hearted and the wistful – playful without being scribbly, smart without being condescending, and perfect for anyone wanting a bit of chuckles and a good cry over the highs and lows of modern wander-filled existence.
