Огъстъс Еверет е признат автор на романи с висока литературна стойност. Дженюъри Андрюз пише сладки романтични комедии. Нейните книги винаги завършват с хепиенд, неговите - със смърт на героите. Те двамата са пълни противоположности. Единственото общо помежду им е, че през следващите три месеца ще живеят в съседни плажни вили, напълно разорени и неспособни да напишат и ред. До една дъждовна лятна вечер, когато сключват облог. Огъстъс ще започне да пише история с щастлив край, а Дженюъри ще се гмурне в сериозната литература. Целта е ясна - да излязат от обичайните си роли и може би да събудят вдъхновението. Част от облога ... |
