»Moliis-Mellberg debuterar med en styv och stilmedveten bok om identitet.« | Victor Malm, Expressen »Moliis-Mellberg skriver sig genom en utveckling som utmynnar i komplex och egen poesi.« | Aase Berg, DN »Att läsa henne [Moliis-Mellberg] påminner om hur det kan vara att läsa Anne Carson och Sara Stridsberg - halsbrytande, och med tankar som rör sig snabbare än ljuset. Att läsa det är aldrig krävande, bara befriande.« | Björn Kohlström, Bernur Cousteau - som till namn och yrke påminner om oceanografen och undervattensfotografen Jacques-Yves Costeau - identifierar sig så starkt med hajen att han försöker bli en. Ett flickjag älskar den brutala Alfa Cassiopeia, vars kropp är tatuerad med filtros, olivträd, änglatrumpet. Tillsammans driver de genom öknen på jakt efter banditer. Atlas försöker dölja sin vilsenhet där han står med himlen på sina axlar. Man kan tro att det är hans hjärta som slår, med det är bara ryggkotorna som glider. Martina Moliis-Mellbergs hyllade prosalyriska debut A (med de tre sviterna »Ad undas«, »Alfa Cassiopeia« och »Atlas«) är en starkt personlig undersökning av möjligheten att göra insidan till utsida och tvärtom. Boken tematiserar begäret att forcera en gräns - den mellan människa och djur, mellan sand och vatten, eller huden som skiljer människokroppar åt. MARTINA MOLIIS-MELLBERG är en finlandssvensk författare, född 1984 i Ekenäs. Numera är hon bosatt i Malmö. A är hennes debutbok. »Moliis-Mellberg gör det svåra lätt - och imponerar.« | Karin Nykvist, Sydsvenskan »Blixtrande prosalyrik som låter sig läsas om och om igen.« | Tommy Gunnarsson, Tidningen Kulturen »Språket är enkelt, samtidigt knivskarpt träffande i sin avskalade struktur.« Betyg 4 av 5 | Mats Linderoth, BTJ »Moliis-Mellberg skriver med en imponerande lätthet om gestalter som på ett eller annat vis försöker frigöra sig från livets tyngd eller olika sorters begränsningar.« | Petter Lindgren, Aftonbladet »Sviterna är som systrar och bröder, som föräldrar och barn, som älskande och som hela världens ensamhet.« | Catarina Salo, Svenska YLE »Det finns en smått oemotståndlig djärvhet i Martina Moliis-Mellbergs debut.« | Sebastian Johans, Ny tid

In the blockbuster storytelling tradition that is Barbara Taylor Bradford’s hallmark, here is an extraordinary novel about a remarkable young woman and the people whose lives she touches. At thirty-one Laura Valiant is a successful art historian who runs her own art advisory and acquisitions company. She and her husband Douglas Casson, a Wall Street lawyer, have a happy marriage marred only by the fact that they are still childless. But Laura’s life changes radically in 1997, when her best friend from childhood, Claire Benson, tells her she is dying. Claire, who is divorced, begs Laura to become her daughter Natasha’s guardian upon her death. Laura agrees and brings the fifteen-year-old girl to live with them in New York City after Claire dies. It is then that Laura’s troubles begin – with Natasha, with the girl’s father and grandmother, who suddenly reappear in her life, and with Douglas. Laura’s love and trust in her husband are shaken when she discovers he has a secret life apart from her. But it is her problems which force her to examine her own life, and this sets her on a path that inevitably leads her to a series of shattering truths. These revelations give Laura the chance to start a whole new life which promises to give her the happiness and fulfilment she craves. From the streets of Paris and London to the art galleries and art auctions of New York, A Sudden Change of Heart takes the reader on an unforgettable journey where secrets, survival, love and redemption mesmerize the reader from the first page to the last. This is Barbara Taylor Bradford’s fifteenth novel and it is told with the emotion and feeling readers have come to expect from one of the world’s most beloved authors.

2002

A contemporary novel which combines the intriguing subjects of surrogacy and obsessive love. Tina and Steve seem like the golden couple: rich, good looking with everything they could want except a child of their own. Tina is a very beautiful but temperamental former model, Steve a successful businessman with international interests, but he also wants to develop his stately home in the country as a garden centre and leisure complex. The lynchpin to this enterprise is Louise who, though not unattractive, is solid and sensible and has loyally and devotedly worked for Steve for a number of years, since before his marriage to Tina which came as a shock to her. Louise becomes obsessed with Steve. Her wish to be more closely bound to him leads her to make the radical suggestion that she should be a surrogate mother to his much wanted child by Tina. The consequences of this offer and the effect it has on the relationships not only of the three people most intimately concerned, but also their family and friends, is the subject of this riveting novel.

HarperPerennial
2005

A wonderfully rich and absorbing historical novel following the fortunes of a struggling artist around the courtly world of Elizabethan London. Norfolk, the 22nd year of Elizabeth I's reign. An ambitious young painter strikes out from his humble beginnings for the teeming City of London. Haunted by the image of his bride's gruesome death, and fuelled by his desire to portray the splendour of life, he sets his sights on a place at the Queen's glittering court. Yet talent alone does not open the doors to royal favour, and the artist is thrown into the petty intrigues and rivalries of the English portrait schools. Here he meets Kat, a legendary courtesan with an unusual proclivity for paint. Their complex alliance leads them into a world of bribery, politics and power, and a court peopled by the celebrated figures of the age. A Likeness is a masterly portrayal of Elizabethan England, the lives of noblemen and servants, artists and courtesans. It is also a deliciously erotic tale of two young people's desires and a thriller of intrigue and double-dealing.
