Carla Malden Boeken
Carla Malden's achtergrond in de filmindustrie, die zowel productie als ontwikkeling omvatte, heeft haar verhalen vertellen diepgaand gevormd. Haar uitgebreide ervaring met het meeschrijven van scenario's en het werken aan filmprojecten heeft haar vertelkunst aangescherpt. Het meeschrijven aan een veelgeprezen memoire toonde een vermogen om zich te verdiepen in persoonlijke geschiedenissen en boeiende waarheden te ontdekken. Haar werk overbrugt zo het visuele medium met literaire diepgang.
When I got home, I did what I had stopped myself from doing earlier. I Googled the name: Aimee Laroche. I wondered what I would have done if I had found myself embroiled in this scenario fifteen, even ten years ago. Would I have hired a private detective to track this woman down? Would I have passed sleepless nights waiting for him to hand over a manila envelope containing long lens black-and-whites of a femme fatale smoking Gauloises at a sidewalk café? Probably not. But Googling was irresistible. Like everything on screen, it required no effort. It was so easy. Maura Fielder looks like she has the perfect life: every expectation fulfilled. But under the illusory surface of perfection, Maura finds herself blindsided by what she discovers on her husband's computer. She has no emotional cubby hole into which she can shove this ghost from her husband's past, so instead, Maura upends her life--thrashing her marriage, alienating her daughter, and eroding her own moral center. On the verge of sacrificing everything she holds dear to her own obsession, how does Maura manage to regain her equilibrium and reclaim her life? In this post-privacy new world, any woman can find heartache if she searches hard enough.
"Go for a run." That's what Charlotte Most said to her husband Paul on that ordinary day. And when he did, her life was never the same. Yet Charlotte remains the same: mother, daughter, friend, interior designer... and, although single... wife. Until she meets Brian. When she's surprised by his little Tiffany-blue box- and the proposal that goes with it - she is forced to make a decision. But questions begin to consume her. Who will Charlotte be if she's no longer a widow? Does old love prohibit new? Does new love diminish old? How can she marry her one-and-only twice? Heartache and hope propel her through a perilous journey from devoted widow to joyful fiancée. My Two And Only is a love story about clinging to the past and embracing the present. About memory and the stories we tell ourselves. About identities, inner and outward, and the struggle to make peace between them. Humorous and insightful, poignant and profound, My Two And Only explores the question: how much happiness can we allow ourselves... and which self might that be?
