Hello Beautiful
von Napolitano Ann
William Waters grew up in a house silenced by tragedy, where his parents could hardly bear to look at him, much less love him-so when he meets the spirited and ambitious Julia Padavano in his freshman year of college, it's as if the world has lit up around him. With Julia comes her family, as she and her three sisters are inseparable: Sylvie, the family's dreamer, is happiest with her nose in a book; Cecelia is a free-spirited artist; and Emeline patiently takes care of them all. With the Padavanos, William experiences a newfound contentment; every moment in their house is filled with loving chaos. But then darkness from William's past surfaces, jeopardizing not only Julia's carefully orchestrated plans for their future, but the sisters' unshakeable devotion to one another. The result is a catastrophic family rift that changes their lives for generations. Will the loyalty that once rooted them be strong enough to draw them back together when it matters most? An exquisite homage to Louisa May Alcott's timeless classic, Little Women, Hello Beautiful is a profoundly moving portrait of what is possible when we choose to love someone not in spite of who they are, but because of it.[Bokinfo].

Rezension von Julia☀️Schöne Geschichte aber lang
Rezension von Victoria StDieses Buch hat mich aus einer Leseflaute geholt! Über mehrere Jahrzehnte begleitet die Geschichte William Waters, der sich im College in Julia Padavano verliebt. Julia gibt es nur im Viererpack mit ihren 3 jüngeren Schwestern.. Ann Napolitano erzählt wunderschön über Liebe, Familie, Freundschaft. Es geht um starke Frauen, die nach und nach lernen, für sich selbst einzustehen und den Zusammenhalt unter den Charakteren. William darf in diesem Umfeld lernen, was Zusammenhalt und Liebe bedeutet, denn seine Kindheit war von Einsamkeit geprägt.. Die Geschichte und der Stil der Autorin haben mich sehr berührt. Das Buch wird an keinem Punkt kitschig, sondern schafft es, die Gefühle der Charaktere authentisch zu vermitteln. Die Autorin wechselt immer wieder die Perspektive zwischen verschiedenen Charakteren, teilweise überlappt sich die Erzählung. Das fand ich aber nicht verwirrend, sondern eher bereichernd.
