'Sparkling... funny, it is also cutting, a nearly forensic study of family conflict... both compulsively readable and thought-provoking.' New York Times

What has possessed their parents to make such an unfathomable decision?

A New York Times bestseller

Grace Sachs, a happily married therapist with a young son, thinks she knows everything about women, men and marriage. She is about to publish a book called You Should Have Known, based on her pet theory: women don't value their intuition about what men are really like, leading to serious trouble later on.

But how well does Grace know her own husband? She is about to find out, and in the place of what she thought she knew, there will be a violent death, a missing husband, and a chain of terrible revelations. Left behind in the wake of a very public disaster, and horrified by the ways in which she has failed to heed her own advice, Grace must dismantle one life and create another for herself and her child.

Now a film starring Tina Fey and Paul Rudd

'A book you can't put down.' O, The Oprah Magazine

For years, thirty-eight-year-old Portia Nathan has hidden behind her busy career as a Princeton admissions officer and her less than passionate relationship. Then the piece of her past that she has tried so hard to bury resurfaces, catapulting her on an extraordinary journey of the heart that challenges everything she ever thought she believed.

Soon, just as Portia must decide on the fates of thousands of bright students regarding their admission to university, so too must she confront the life-altering decisions she made long ago.

Webster College: an elite New England campus and a world of learning where creativity and inclusiveness are the presiding principles. Naomi Roth, a feminist scholar, is named to the coveted position of Webster's president.

When a student protest materializes, Naomi initially supports the movement, feeling proud and protective of the protesters, her own daughter Hannah among them. But the protest begins to fester, attracting students from other institutions and media. Attention begins to focus on one charismatic student, a Palestinian immigrant named Omar, and both the tension on campus and the essential conflicts in Naomi's personal life begin to overwhelm her until she finds herself facing an impossible and ultimately tragic conflict.

The Devil and Webster is shot through with caustic comedy, and yet the Faustian notes are a persistent reminder that the possibility of corruption - personal or institutional - remains our persistent companion, however good our intentions might be.

Eleven-year-old Nina would like more than anything to take singing lessons, but her mother wants to see an improvement in her grades first. When Nina fails another test, she retreats to the comfort of art class, and with the encouragement of a mysterious substitute teacher named Charlemagne, draws a picture of her life as she would like it—with a perfect test score. Imagine her surprise when in a matter of seconds—and with the help of a little “interference powder” provided by Charlemagne—that picture becomes reality, and that reality turns out to be less than perfect!

In this delightful children’s literature debut from a well-known writer for adults, the lines of reality and fantasy are comfortably and hilariously blurred, while the importance of self-awareness comes into sharp focus.

Cuando un joven escritor muere antes de completar su primera novela, su maestro, un novelista fracasado, decide continuar con la trama.

El libro resultante es un éxito fenomenal. Pero, ¿y si alguien más lo sabe?

Y si el impostor no puede averiguar con quién está lidiando, corre el riesgo de algo mucho peor que la pérdida de su carrera.

Jacob Finch Bonner fue un joven y prometedor escritor cuya primera novela cosechó un éxito muy respetable. Hoy, él está enseñando en un programa de escritura de tercera categoría y lucha por mantener la poca dignidad que le queda; no ha escrito, y mucho menos publicado nada decente en años.

Cuando Evan Parker, su alumno más arrogante, le dice a Jake que no necesita de su ayuda para continuar con su novela porque considera que la trama de su libro en progreso es magnífica, Jake lo tacha como el típico narcisista aficionado. Pero entonces . . . escucha la trama.

Jake regresa a la trayectoria descendente de su propia carrera y se prepara para la publicación de la primera novela de Evan Parker: pero eso nunca sucede. Jake descubre que su antiguo alumno ha muerto, presumiblemente sin haber completado su libro, y hace lo que cualquier escritor que se precie haría con una historia como esa: una historia que es absolutamente necesario contar.

En unos pocos años, todas las predicciones de Evan Parker se han hecho realidad, pero Jake es el autor que disfruta del éxito. Es rico, famoso, elogiado y leído en todo el mundo. Pero en el apogeo de su gloriosa nueva vida, recibe un correo electrónico, la primera amenaza de una aterradora campaña anónima: eres un ladrón, dice el correo.

Mientras Jake lucha por entender a su antagonista y ocultar la verdad a sus lectores y editores, comienza a aprender más sobre su difunto alumno, y lo que descubre le asombra y aterroriza. ¿Quién era Evan Parker y cómo se le ocurrió la idea de su "apuesta segura" de una novela? ¿Cuál es la verdadera historia detrás de la trama y quién se la robó a quién?

La crítica internacional ha señalado esta novela como uno de los grandes libros del año:

«La trama está tan bien elaborada y es tan convincente que es casi imposible de dejar de lado. Inteligente y escalofriante, te atrapa desde el primer capítulo y no te deja ir hasta su sorprendente e impresionante final.» Greer Hendricks y Sarah Pekkanen

«Desde sus primeras páginas esta novela te atrapa en una rica maraña de vanidades literarias, traición y fraude. Psicológicamente agudo y asombrosamente lleno de suspense, te encontrarás corriendo hacia un final asombroso y totalmente merecido.» Megan Abbott

«La trama de La trama (el mejor thriller del año), es demasiado buena para revelarla.

Verfilmt mit Nicole Kidman und Hugh Grant! THE UNDOING aktuell auf Sky.
