Malibu Rising: A Novel
Taylor Jenkins Reid · 2021
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Read with Jenna Book Club Pick as Featured on Today • From the author of Carrie Soto Is Back, Daisy Jones & The Six, and The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo . . . “Irresistible . . . High drama at the beach, starring four sexy, surfing siblings and their deadbeat, famous-crooner dad.”—People ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The Washington Post, Time, Marie Claire, PopSugar, Parade, Teen Vogue, Self, She Reads Four famous siblings throw an epic party to celebrate the end of the summer. But over the course of twenty-four hours, the family drama that ensues will change their lives forever. Malibu: August 1983. It’s the day of Nina Riva’s annual end-of-summer party, and anticipation is at a fever pitch. Everyone wants to be around the famous Rivas: Nina, the talented surfer and supermodel; brothers Jay and Hud, one a championship surfer, the other a renowned photographer; and their adored baby sister, Kit. Together the siblings are a source of fascination in Malibu and the world over—especially as the offspring of the legendary singer Mick Riva. The only person not looking forward to the party of the year is Nina herself, who never wanted to be the center of attention, and who has also just been very publicly abandoned by her pro tennis player husband. Oh, and maybe Hud—because it is long past time for him to confess something to the brother from whom he’s been inseparable since birth. Jay, on the other hand, is counting the minutes until nightfall, when the girl he can’t stop thinking about promised she’ll be there. And Kit has a couple secrets of her own—including a guest she invited without consulting anyone. By midnight the party will be completely out of control. By morning, the Riva mansion will have gone up in flames. But before that first spark in the early hours before dawn, the alcohol will flow, the music will play, and the loves and secrets that shaped this family’s generations will all come rising to the surface. Malibu Rising is a story about one unforgettable night in the life of a family: the night they each have to choose what they will keep from the people who made them . . . and what they will leave behind.
Um Sopro De Vida

Tudo é Rio
Carla Madeira · 2023
Lucy é a prostituta mais concorrida da cidade. Dalva, por contraste, é de origem familiar e muito tradicional, mulher de Venâncio, senhor de uns ciúmes doentios.<br/><br/>Lucy e o casal, Dalva e Venâncio, protagonizam um triângulo amoroso que se afasta dos lugares-comuns dos romances e nos faz questionar, sob formas surpreendentemente originais, quais os verdadeiros limites do perdão, até onde pode ir a intensidade de um amor, de que valores se reveste a importância da família e, acima de qualquer outra coisa nesta história, quão forte ou fraca pode ser a afeição entre mulheres.<br/><br/>Neste seu impressionante primeiro livro, a escritora brasileira Carla Madeira socorre-se de uma linguagem sem pudores ou complexos, com uma narrativa madura, mas ao mesmo tempo poética e imagética; e dessa forma incorpora todos os extremos, sem ideias básicas de certo e errado, apresentando-nos o extraordinário mundo de mulheres fortes, fracas, com problemas e soluções, com sentimentos e desejos reais.
