The New York Times bestselling author of In Five Years and One Italian Summer returns with "a romantic gem" (Laura Dave, New York Times bestselling author) about a young woman who decides to finally live for herself rather than rely on the universe for answers. Daphne Bell believes the universe has a plan for her. Every time she meets a new man, she receives a slip of paper with his name and a number on it--the exact amount of time they will be together. The papers told her she'd spend three days with Martin in Paris; five weeks with Noah in San Francisco; and three months with Hugo, her ex-boyfriend turned best friend. Daphne has been receiving the numbered papers for over twenty years, always wondering when there might be one without an expiration. Finally, the night of a blind date at her favorite Los Angeles restaurant, there's only a name: Jake. But as Jake and Daphne's story unfolds, Daphne finds herself doubting the paper's prediction, and wrestling with what it means to be both committed and truthful. Because Daphne knows things Jake doesn't, information that--if he found out--would break his heart. "Daphne's sometimes heart-wrenching, often heartwarming search for meaningful relationships, both romantic and platonic, is sure to inspire" (Publishers Weekly, starred review) new and longtime fans of Rebecca Serle.

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER In this "magical trip worth taking" (Associated Press), the New York Times bestselling author of In Five Years returns with a powerful novel about the transformational love between mothers and daughters set on the breathtaking Amalfi Coast. When Katy's mother dies, she is left reeling. Carol wasn't just Katy's mom, but her best friend and first phone call. She had all the answers and now, when Katy needs her the most, she is gone. To make matters worse, their planned mother-daughter trip of a lifetime looms: to Positano, the magical town where Carol spent the summer right before she met Katy's father. Katy has been waiting years for Carol to take her, and now she is faced with embarking on the adventure alone. But as soon as she steps foot on the Amalfi Coast, Katy begins to feel her mother's spirit. Buoyed by the stunning waters, beautiful cliffsides, delightful residents, and, of course, delectable food, Katy feels herself coming back to life. And then Carol appears--in the flesh, healthy, sun-tanned, and thirty years old. Katy doesn't understand what is happening, or how--all she can focus on is that she has somehow, impossibly, gotten her mother back. Over the course of one Italian summer, Katy gets to know Carol, not as her mother, but as the young woman before her. She is not exactly who Katy imagined she might be, however, and soon Katy must reconcile the mother who knew everything with the young woman who does not yet have a clue. "Rebecca Serle is known for her powerful stories that tug at the heartstrings--and her latest is just as unforgettable" (Woman's World) as it effortlessly shows us how to move on after loss, and how the people we love never truly leave us.

Da Katy mister sin mor, Carol, mister hun også sin bedste ven. Desuden smuldrer drømmen om en mor-datter-rejse til den italienske kystby Positano, hvor Carol tilbragte en sommer, før hun mødte Katys far. Men Katy bestemmer sig for at drage ud på den idylliske rejse alene med sin mor i tankerne. Da Katy mærker Amalfikystens bløde sand, fornemmer hun, hvordan Carols ånd gennemstrømmer stedet. Og pludselig, ud af det blå, dukker Carol op – lyslevende, solbrændt og kun tredive år gammel. Katy ved, at det umulige er sket: Hun har fået sin elskede mor tilbage. Men er hun den samme kvinde, som Katy kendte? DEN ITALIENSKE SOMMER er en øm, rejselysten og sorgfuld fortælling om kærlighed, der aldrig forsvinder, om alder og familiebånd, og om lange sommeraftener med magi i luften.

Dannie Kohans liv er minutiøst planlagt, mens Bella, hendes bedste veninde, er hendes diametrale modsætning – vild, lunefuld og med en ukuelig tro på den eneste ene. Men Dannies altomfattende femårsplan bærer tilsyneladende frugt, da hun lander drømmejobbet og bliver forlovet på én og samme dag. Hun har altid været forberedt på alt – bare ikke på det, der sker, da hun falder i søvn samme nat. Da hun vågner, befinder hun sig i en fremmed lejlighed, med en ny ring på fingeren og en mystisk mand ved sin side, og det står klart, at noget er helt galt: Kalenderen skriver ikke længere 15. december 2020, men derimod 15. december 2025. Dannie tilbringer kun én time i fremtiden, før hun ved midnatstid vender hjem igen – men det bliver en time, som bliver umulig at ryste af sig. Og Dannie har stadig det egentlige chok i vente, da hun fire år senere møder Bellas nye kæreste, som umiskendeligt ligner manden fra fremtidsvisionen. Fem år senere er en bagvendt kærlighedshistorie og en moderne romanceklassiker, der udforsker venskab, tab og magi. Det er en fortælling om en kvinde, som ikke overlader noget til tilfældighederne, men som ender med selv at blive en brik i tilfældighedernes spil.

Lumoava kuvaus Italiasta ja siteestä äidin ja tyttären välillä. Katy Silverin elämän suurin rakkaus on aina ollut hänen äitinsä Carol. Nyt äitiä ei enää ole, ja Katyn täytyy totutella uuteen todellisuuteen. Hän matkustaa Positanoon, äidilleen merkitykselliseen italialaiseen rantakylään, jossa tämä vietti kesän ennen kuin tapasi Katyn isän. Huumaantuessaan Amalfin rannikon maisemista ja ruoasta Katy tuntee heti pääsevänsä lähemmäs äitiään. Ja sitten hän kohtaa Carolin: ilmielävänä, ruskettuneena - ja kolmekymppisenä. Katy ei ymmärrä, mitä oikein tapahtuu, mutta jotenkin hän on saanut äitinsä takaisin. Kesän aikana Katy oppii tuntemaan Carolin, ei äitinään vaan ikäisenään naisena, joka tämä oli ennen kuin sai hänet.

KUS NÄED SINA END VIIE AASTA PÄRAST? Kui see küsimus ambitsioonikale advokaadile Dannie Kohanile tema elu kõige tähtsamal töövestlusel esitatakse, on tal hoolikalt komponeeritud vastus varnast võtta. Hiljem, pärast edukat vestlust ja olles võtnud vastu oma peigmehe abieluettepaneku, vajub Dannie unne teadmises, et on täpselt on viie aasta plaani graafikus. Aga ärgates leiab ta end ootamatult hoopis ühest teisest korterist, sõrmes üks teine sõrmus, kõrval keegi teine mees. Taustal mängivad uudised ja ta näeb ähmaselt ekraani allservas kuvatud kuupäeva. Ohtu on sama - 15. detsember -, aga aasta on 2025, viis aastat tulevikus. Pärast väga pingelist, jahmatavat tundi ärkab Dannie uuesti, veidi enne keskööd, tagasi aastas 2020. Ta ei saa juhtunut peast. See tundus palju enamat kui lihtsalt unenägu, aga Dannie ei ole seda tüüpi inimene, kes usuks nägemustesse. See jamps kõlab nunnult vaid vabahingede suust nagu on tema eluaegne parim sõber Bella. Niisiis otsustab ta sellest veidrast kogemusest mitte välja teha ning heidab selle peast. Kuni hetkeni neli ja pool aastat hiljem, kui Dannie kohtab juhuslikult sedasama meest oma kaugest nägemusest. "Viie aasta pärast" on unustamatu, rõõmu ja südamevalu täis armastuslugu, mis tuletab meile meelde, kui suur vägi on truudusel ja sõprusel, ja kui ettearvamatu võib olla saatus.
