Henry James
The novel is complicated, its true. Long, ornate sentences, philosophical speculations of the characters, complex in their structure and further awareness of the phrase.. but.. this and not only the novel represents the uniqueness and sophistication. Restrained and at the same time shocking, harmonious and scary real. Did you know that among the higher aristocracy there are wolves in sheeps clothing?

Brook uwielbia samotne godziny spędzane z książką na tarasie, pod rozgwieżdżonym niebem. A także wiosenne noce. Nie spodziewa się, że to właśnie podczas jednej z nich z naprzeciwka pojawi się ktoś, kto wywróci jej uporządkowany świat do góry nogami. Declan, przystojny chłopak z wielkiego miasta, przyjeżdża do dziadków i zupełnym przypadkiem staje się nowym sąsiadem dziewczyny. Wspólne poranne biegi, rozmowy do późna i sportowe pasje szybko przeradzają się w coś więcej. Ale lato kończy się zbyt szybko, a wraz z nim może skończyć się ta opowieść. Czy kiedy czas działa na niekorzyść dwóch bratnich dusz, warto kłaść na szali własne serce? "The Winning Shot" to pełna ciepła historia o pierwszym zauroczeniu, odwadze mówienia o uczuciach i dorastaniu do decyzji, które nie zawsze są łatwe. Nowelka z Kolekcji romansów sportowych Inanny
S.S. Van Dine
This is the last Filo Vance novel, and it is actually not finished. Vance possessed a surprisingly vast and accurate knowledge of thousands of Willards arts and objects, and was also skeptical of life and society. But in reality, only those who superficially know Willard Huntington Wright will have this similarity. Vance as much as he was Wright.
