English Bookshop+One Day av David Nicholls

Igår fick jag hem min femte bok från The Uppsala English Bookshop, går man med i deras bokklubb får man en engelsk pocket bok varje månad för 100 kr, och man kan välja mellan kategorierna ; General fiction, Myster/Thrillers och Non fiction. Har själv valt general fiction.
Och igår fick jag hem One Day av David Nicholls , en såndär bok, som har fått så mycket bra kritik att man brukar dra ut på att läsa den för att inte bli besviken.

'A totally brilliant book about the heartbreaking gap between the way we were and the way we are...the best weird love story since THE TIME TRAVELLER'S WIFE. Every reader will fall in love with it. And every writer will wish they had written it.' -Tony Parsons


Incredibly moving' -Marian Keyes


'[Nicholls] has both a very deft prose style and a great understanding of human emotion. His characterisation is utterly convincing . . . ONE DAY is destined to be a modern classic.' -Daily Mirror


'It's rare to find a novel which ranges over the recent past with such authority, and even rarer to find one in which the two leading characters are drawn with such solidity, such painful fidelity, to real life that you really do put the book down with the hallucinatory feeling that they've become as well known to you as your closest friends. Hard to imagine anyone encountering characters as well drawn as this and not recognizing the extraordinary talent of the writer who has created them.' (Jonathan Coe, Guardian


och mycket mer

Kommer antagligen att börja läsa den i början av nästa veckan,ska bli spännande att se om den verkligen är så otroligt bra.
