The author very piercingly showed the experiences of a terminally ill girl who does not want to bring suffering to her loved ones. Will Rune have enough strength to cope with the misfortune that has piled on, and can this love story end with a happy ending?

The tragedy of human lives intertwined with a tender and touching love story of two teenagers. They had their whole lives ahead of them, many dreams and plans.

An old dilapidated building becomes a place where the main characters and secondary, no less interesting characters meet. Isabella Delancey is the new owner of the mansion, which she inherited from her great-uncle. After the sudden death of her beloved husband, she and her children move to the Spanish House in order to forget a little and recover from the misfortune that has befallen her.

Isabella hires a neighbor for repairs, but does not suspect that Matt and his wife will do everything to survive her and the children from the house, since they were sure that they would inherit the mansion. Nicholas Trent wants to build up these places with new cottages. Firth, finding himself on the street without a roof over his head, secretly settles in the boiler room. They all have their own plans for the house, but which one of them will come true?

Moyes, as always, was surprised by the famously twisted plot. It evokes diverse feelings in the reader, but we are sure of one thing that this is by no means indifference. We advise you to read this work, which will teach you a lot and help you rethink life values.

Published in June 2005, the book immediately became a super-bestseller, and was read with rapture by men and women, office workers and housewives, youth audiences and people of advanced age. J. Moyes combined several genres into one fascinating story. Jennifer goes on a trip with her grandmother, and in India, seeing an old ship, an elderly relative begins her story, which takes us back to 1946.

The war came to an end, and 600 brave women went on the aircraft carrier Victoria to their lovers from Australia to England. As if forgetting about the heroic military past, it is called the ship of brides. But in fact, they are all legal wives who married in their homeland with British soldiers. They sail into the unknown, because they don’t know if they are expected in a new place, or if marriage was just an opportunity to live their last days in happiness, because one could die at any moment.

Most of all, women were afraid of telegrams: “Don't come. I don't wait." Before us appear four main characters, completely different, but they have to put up with each other's neighborhood and find a common language. The book is based on real events and immerses the reader in difficult relationships, shows the difficult post-war period and the difficulty of adapting to a new life.

Sara Gio is an American writer specializing in sentimental novels. Her books consistently become bestsellers. We also could not miss another masterpiece and are pleased to present it in our rating. The work tells about Emily Wilson, in whose life, as in a rollercoaster: then you fall sharply down, then you fly up again.

A once-lucky girl who imagined her future in the most rosy light faces problems that are difficult to resolve. Leaving everything and leaving for the island, she settles in the house of her great-aunt, next to which tender touching violets grow. Emily's acquaintance with Jack does not please the old woman at all, but for what reason, she does not say. The found diary, dated 1943, helps to evoke revelations from local residents.

The past reveals secrets, and Emily begins to understand a lot. Readers will love the love storyline with a detective element. Together they form a fascinating work that can keep the intrigue until the very end, which will surprise many. Riddles, passions, betrayal, betrayal - welcome to the world of S. Gio.

The second part of Irene Kao's trilogy about the passionate and ardent love of Elena and Leonardo captivated readers and made it possible to enjoy the magic of the feelings of the main characters.

Helen moves to Rome, leaving in Venice the memories of the crazy days spent with Leo. New life, new love. It would seem that everything worked out, making a strong, self-sufficient nature out of a woman. She is happy with Filippo, but fate has prepared trials for her to pass. The meeting with Leonardo stirred up a storm of feelings in her, and what to do next and what to choose: family or passion, the heroine does not know.

But having abandoned the reliable love of Filippo, she also loses Leonardo. Elena becomes an ordinary abandoned woman. Readers empathize with her, as many of them experienced the same feelings. The book makes you think about difficult things: what is more important, to live by the principles or follow your desires. The heroine made her choice, but it did not bring her happiness. Elena's further fate can be found by reading the third part of "I love you."

We all remember the fairy tales of Scheherazade, and we believe that Eastern women are just as happy in life. But Alsani Raj's book, included in the rating, tells about the real world, in which they are obliged to follow the harsh Sharia laws, the family chooses their soulmate, and it is almost impossible to marry for love. But in fact, they are no different from Western girls. They love fashionable outfits, study at prestigious institutions of higher education, communicate with men.

The story is told by a friend of four girls from Saudi Arabia. The reader is attracted not only by stories about people from high society, but also by the laws of one of the most closed countries, and the life that we can see from the inside. The author reveals the psychology of men who profess Islam, and gives an opportunity to women who aspire to marry a chosen one from the East to assess their strengths, whether they can adapt to Muslim customs and mores.

Readers will love the design of the chapters, each of which begins as an email telling its own story. Despite the huge gap in worldviews, after this book you understand how we are all the same, regardless of nationality, religion, place of residence.

Guillaume Musso created a bestseller that, from the moment of its publication, excites readers with its intricate storyline, intricacies of intrigue, secrets and the past of heroes. The romantic story is full of tragedy. The denouement is so unexpected that in the first minutes it is shocking. Raphael - a single father - meets Anna and realizes that he is ready to live the rest of his life with this woman. A few weeks before the wedding, she disappears, and the reaction to the photo shown to the groom, with whom they agreed not to have secrets from each other, is to blame.

Rafael, together with his friend, a retired policeman, begins the search, learning new shocking details about the past of his beloved. And everything that happened to Anna seems monstrous and unreal. But thanks to the strength of her spirit, she finds the strength to live on. The detective line has everything: difficult relationships between parents and teenagers, corruption, the intrigues of the powerful, the indifference of the authorities, drugs, alcohol, and the worst thing is child abuse.

"The Girl from Brooklyn" is not a love story, it is a mixture of genres, and the book is not recommended for especially impressionable natures. But if you are a fan of not simple romantic stories, but with thriller and detective elements, then this work will not leave you indifferent.

"If you knew..", Elchin Safarli

The novel "If you knew ..." is a story about feelings, doubts, expectations, fears, which most often help to start all over again. A story that can only be told to the snow-white sheets of a diary. I asked before leaving: "Tell me, do you love me?". You were silent for a long time, and then: “I feel good with you. This is not enough?". At that moment, I realized that I was able to embellish absolutely everything in a feminine way: my life, the feelings of a loved one, the world around me. With a brush in hand, women are born artists, and men are just a blank sheet of paper for us - we draw, paint, cover something up. As a result, it turns out that we draw not from nature, but on the occasion of fantasies.
