La mafia du chocolat

Více o knize

From the author of the critically acclaimed <i>Elsewhere</i> comes this brilliant novel about an impossible romance, a family living outside of the law, and the ties that forever bind us. Chocolate and coffee are illegal, paper is hard to find, water is increasingly scarce, and New York City is rife with crime and poverty. And yet, for Anya Balanchine, the sixteen-year-old daughter of the city’s most notorious (and dead) crime boss, life is fairly routine—going to school, taking care of her siblings and her dying grandmother, trying to avoid falling in love with the new assistant D.A.'s son, and avoiding her loser ex-boyfriend. That is until someone in her inner circle ends up poisoned by the chocolate her family manufactures and the police think she’s to blame. Suddenly, Anya finds herself thrust unwillingly into the spotlight—at school, in the news, and most importantly, within her mafiya family. Engrossing and suspenseful, <i>All These Things I’ve Done</i> is an utterly unique, unputdownable read that blends both the familiar and fantastic.
