[Romanian] - Fetele de înghețată Audiobook

"Serena Gillmare si Poppy Carlisle, doua femei de 38 de ani, au vieti cit se poate de diferite. Serena, casatorita cu fermecatorul si bonomul doctor Evan Gillmare si mama a doi copii minunati, traieste cel mai romantic si multasteptat moment al vietii ei: Evan a cerut-o a doua oara in casatorie si planuiesc nunta extravaganta pe care nu au putut-o avea prima data, cind o sarcina neprevazuta a condus la o casatorie in pripa. Poppy, pe de alta parte, si-a petrecut ultimii douazeci de ani in inchisoare pentru o crima pe care nu a comis-o. Eliberata conditionat, Poppy incearca sa isi recistige familia – mama, tatal, un frate si o sora – care a rupt orice legatura cu ea odata cu pronuntarea sentintei, dar mai ales sa isi reabiliteze numele, silind-o pe cea pe care o considera adevarata vinovata sa isi marturiseasca fapta. In urma cu douazeci de ani, Serena si Poppy au fost judecate in acelasi proces, fiind acuzate de uciderea fostului lor profesor de istorie si iubit, Marcus Halnsley. In timp ce Serena a fost gasita nevinovata, Poppy a mers la inchisoare. Dar vietile celor doua femei se dau din nou peste cap, pe masura ce trecutul le bintuie, iar amintirea primei relatii cu perversul si violentul Marcus le arunca intr-o noua plasa a vinovatilor fara vina, a remuscarilor si a nevoii de a face dreptate. 'Ne-a facut inimile sa bata mai tare, ne-a lasat cu gura cascata si ne-a indemnat sa dam pe nerasuflate pagina cu pagina.' (Heat) 'De nelasat din mina a ajuns o expresie banala, dar va provocam: incercati sa va dezlipiti de acest roman!' (Company) 'Un roman fascinant, care te pune pe ginduri si-ti merge la suflet.' (She)"
