Mary Horton, a spinster in her forties. Wealthy, yet simple and lonely, she believes she needs neither friends nor love. She lives quite content in her comfortable home with a spacious garden and an imposing Bentley parked in the garage. Not to mention the beach house, which she acquired with the fruits of her labor and investments. Literature and music help her fill her loneliness. Mary does not aspire to things she has never known. Tim Melville, twenty-five, an inexperienced factory worker, son of Ron and Esme Melville, who received him as a gift for their late marriage. He has the face, body, and grace of a Greek god. Although stunningly beautiful, he is far from possessing an intellect that matches his stunning physique. However, Ron and Esme, simple factory workers, sensible and unambitious, love him for who he is. The couple prepared him to live within his means. Tim is a tireless, insignificant construction worker, far more dedicated than his peers. His days are spent working hard and weekends with his father at a bar; his evenings are spent at home with his family watching television. For him, it's a safe and peaceful life. Tim is so wonderful to behold that Mary Horton can't believe her eyes when she sees him for the first time working on the renovations next door. The neighbor, a frank and kind-hearted person, was the one who alerted her to both his sweetness and his serious limitations. Even so, Mary hires him to work as her gardener on weekends and discovers that, with just a little kindness, she can extract everything from him. This is new to her, as is the affection she feels, a kind of maternal feeling she would bestow upon the son she never had. Tim also teaches her many things, including how to see the real world with new, optimistic eyes. An idyll in which both give and receive much, but which unfortunately changes, as happens with all idylls... A story of simple and gentle beauty, of unexpected events that will both touch and surprise readers.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47174768492796,"sku":"9788528603347","price":59.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/5f1173a540d00ab169bd229796dc4d61.jpg?v=1778316552"},{"product_id":"a-sorte-de-morgan","title":"MORGAN'S LUCK","description":"In her new novel, Colleen McCullough—author of the sweeping bestseller \"The Wounded Birds\" and the historical saga \"The Lords of Rome\"—returns to Australia and narrates a glimpse into her country's past. \"Morgan's Luck\" is an epic adventure centered on the honest and hard-working Richard Morgan, the son of an English tavern keeper.

The narrative of this epic is told from the perspective of several characters: Priam, king of Troy, condemned to make bad decisions for the right reasons; the Greek princess Helen, a beauty enslaved to her desires who leaves a dull husband for the love of another beauty, as enslaved to his desires as she is—Prince Paris; the war machine haunted by a curse that is Achilles; the heroically noble Hector; the subtle and brilliant Ulysses; Agamemnon, the King of Kings, who consents to horror in order to launch his thousand ships into the sea and who, for this very reason, incurs the enmity of his wife, Clytemnestra. Without abandoning their heroic nature, they retain their semi-divine character and fascinate the reader, leading them to empathize with Greece and Troy as each moves inexorably toward an outcome not even the Gods can prevent.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47176309702908,"sku":"9788528608748","price":89.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/a47b1c27e50eaaea257080af5c346473.jpg?v=1778323307"},{"product_id":"assassinatos-demais-vol-2","title":"Too Many Murders (Vol. 2)","description":"Proving once again her mastery of suspense, Colleen McCullough, author of the bestselling Turn On, Turn Off, returns with Too Many Murders, another thriller in the Carmine Delmonico series. Will the captain solve not one, but twelve crimes that occurred in the same day? The story is set in 1967 and revolves around Captain Delmonico's team's investigation into the multiple crimes that occurred over eighteen hours. What is the connection between the murder of Dee-Dee Hall, a local prostitute, and the deaths of a disabled child and her mother? What is the connection between student Evan Pugh and a prominent warmongering businessman? Furthermore, as if the twelve murders weren't enough, the officer finds himself face to face with the mysterious spy who is passing the arms company's secrets to the Russians. Are the murders and the espionage separate cases, or are they somehow connected? For those who enjoy a good mystery, this book will be a delight. One character is murdered by a blow to the head; another, by poisoning with the classic cyanide; another, by rape followed by strangulation, and so on. Too Many Murders is a thriller to be read at the first opportunity. The detective protagonist is excellent and perceptive, with a passionate and intelligent wife; the subordinates participate actively, not just appendages to the protagonists; the coherence of the story is impressive, and the ending is a sure surprise. It's interesting to note that the book is over 400 pages long and, without excessive action scenes, but with plenty of dialogue and analysis of criminal minds, it captivates the reader from the first page. Perfect for anyone who missed reading a good old-fashioned detective story. \"You'll need a pen and paper to keep track of the murders and the victims, and the ending is electrifying.\" - Kirkus Reviews“Colleen McCullough is a master of period romance, and she proves her skill once again in Too Many Murders. She brings her characters to life and skillfully portrays the Cold War era.
