Goldinga Melānija - Little Darlings; Omniva already included in the price

mīlulīši” ir veidots, stāstījumā iepludinot diezgan biedējošus folkloras elementus. Lasītājs tiek ierauts notikumos, kur nav īsti skaidrs, vai izlasītais ir ilūzija vai notiek īstenībā, un ir grūti izšķirties, kam ticēt un kam ne...

“Kā man patika šī grāmata! Tā ievelk un apbur no pirmās līdz pat beidzamajai lappusei. Autore mani burtiski saņēma aiz rokas un maigi, bet neatlaidīgi izveda caur noslēpumiem un mītiem... Prasmīgi uzrakstīts stāsts kā smalks un precīzi izstrādāts mākslas darbs,” atzīst rakstniece Sūzana Krauforde.

Tā kā vairākas mātes bildušas, ka bail lasīt šo grāmatu, jo nevēlas sevi sāpināt, piebildīšu: lai gan romāns “Mazie mīlulīši” ir spraigs un brīžiem biedējošs, dvīņu puisēniem Morganam un Railijam nenotiek nekas ļauns! Rakstnieces fantāzija ir apbrīnojama, un, izvadāts cauri dažādiem attiecību līkločiem, pārpratumiem un brīžiem pat teju vai mistiskai pieredzei, beigās lasītājs kopā ar Lorēnu un dvīņiem var mierīgi atvilkt elpu un izbaudīt patiesi intriģējošās un negaidītās grāmatas beigas.

“Mazie mīlulīši” ir Melānijas Goldingas debijas romāns. Autore tā ideju ir aizguvusi tautas teiksmām un pasakām par samainītiem bērniem, un pēc grāmatas motīviem tiek uzņemta arī kinofilma.

Left alone in the hospital ward with her newborn twins, Lauren experiences something that shakes her to the core, and it's good that she manages to call the police. Police Sergeant Joanna Harper, who also has a sad secret in her past, gets involved in the investigation. Perhaps that's why the investigator is more willing to listen to the young mother's concerns rather than suggesting treatment for postpartum depression.

The psychological thriller "Little Darlings" is crafted by incorporating quite frightening folklore elements into the narrative. The reader is drawn into events where it's not clear whether what is read is an illusion or happening in reality, making it difficult to decide what to believe and what not...

"How I loved this book! It captivates and enchants from the first to the very last page. The author literally took me by the hand and gently but persistently led me through mysteries and myths... A skillfully written story like a delicate and precisely crafted artwork," says writer Susan Crawford.

Since several mothers have said they are afraid to read this book because they don't want to hurt themselves, I'll add: although the novel "Little Darlings" is intense and sometimes frightening, nothing bad happens to the twin boys Morgan and Riley! The writer's imagination is remarkable, and after being led through various twists and turns of relationships, misunderstandings, and sometimes even almost mystical experiences, in the end, the reader can calmly take a breath with Lauren and the twins and enjoy the truly intriguing and unexpected ending of the book.

"Little Darlings" is Melanie Golding's debut novel. The author has drawn its idea from folk tales and legends about swapped children, and a film is being made based on the book's motifs.
