Found this book at Periplus, MKG, and imagined my surprised :) complete with open mouth and off course...gasp. One thing for sure is, you never know what kind of story Cecelia Ahern will deliver on her books or how she will tell the story, but whatever it is, I'm also sure that it will good, it will be different. And this one...is definitely different than her other stories, but still good.
Finished it up in just few hours and really can't wait to read her next books. I'm still waiting for her book "The Gift" to be able in here...or until my friends Nina bought me one :) whichever comes first I think :D
Tamara Goodwin has always got everything she′s ever wanted. Born into a family of wealth, she grew up in a mansion with its own private beach, a wardrobe full of designer clothes, a large four poster bed complete with a luxurious bathroom en-suite. She′s always lived in the here and now, never giving a second thought to tomorrow.
But then suddenly her dad is gone and life for Tamara and her mother changes forever. Left with a mountain of debt, they have no choice but to sell everything they own and move to the country to live with Tamara′s Uncle and Aunt. Nestled next to Kilsaney Castle, their gate house is a world away from Tamara′s childhood. With her mother shut away with grief, and her aunt busy tending to her, Tamara is lonely and bored and longs to return to Dublin.
When a travelling library passes through Kilsaney Demesne, Tamara is intrigued. She needs a distraction. Her eyes rest on a mysterious large leather bound tome locked with a gold clasp and padlock. With some help, Tamara finally manages to open the book. What she discovers within the pages takes her breath away and shakes her world to its core.
I think, what makes it different is the heroine. For once (I think this is the first) the heroine is 16 years old girl. And the story is told from her perspective. Not just that, there also some mystery/thriller in the story, although the thriller won't give you too much goosebumps, but at least it makes you wonder all the time. I guess you can say, this is not your average chicklit book.
Again, Cecelia Ahern has done it! Right now, she's my #1 author :)
