About this deal

But Cain is not a free man. And he’s about to find out that when his wife Caroline said ’til death us do part, she meant it. When Cain is sentenced to life in prison it seems that Caroline might have got her wish. a b c d e Cadwalladr, Carole (31 May 2009). " 'The Booker prize money wouldn't even keep me in cigarettes' ". The Observer . Retrieved 23 June 2018. But Cain is not a free man. And he's about to find out that when his wife Caroline said 'til death us do part, she meant it. Her latest book is still a far cry from her books such as Ladykiller, but it was a book that I started and finished in one day (which always tells me it’s a winner). Cain Moran is a face who seems to have it all. However, when he meets Jenny Riley his life is set to change forever and it changes in a huge way. I liked Cain from the outset, although Jenny seemed a little bit far removed. The story is set over decades, which totally works for me and I love the fact that we see a snippet of the future right at the very beginning of the book. We then see Cain’s life progress over the years and it’s a story that certainly held my interest. Jenny is not just any girl. She cares nothing for Cain's hard-man reputation - she just wants to be with him.

Caroline es el personaje más inestable, no es ninguna santa y no deja indiferente con sus actos. Jenny flojea porque la autora la pinta como alguien que rara vez muestra un carácter fuerte ante los ataques que recibe o las desgracias que vive. Mientras Cain esté con ella, pues es como si todo diera igual. Cain es prácticamente el mismo durante todo el libro, pasan décadas y no noté cambios en él. Jenny evoluciona un poco más, pero incluso cuando le sucede algo muy trágico, vi que se volvía a destacar que lo que le importaba es que Cain y ella pudieran estar juntos. A four-part TV adaptation of Dangerous Lady was broadcast on ITV in 1995, and in 1998 ITV broadcast a four-part adaptation of The Jump. The Take was serialised on British television on Sky1 in June 2009, which starred Tom Hardy as Freddie. Sky1 has also commissioned an adaptation of The Graft, which has yet to go into production.

Cain Moran wanted Jenny Riley more than he had ever wanted anyone or anything before in his life. But loving Jenny Riley was the easy part.... Caroline enjoyed The Good Life with Cain and loved the reflected glory she commanded as his wife. Jenny is not interested in the money or infamy Cain brings, although she does grow used to it and does miss it when he is sentenced to twenty-five years in jail, but not nearly as much as she misses him. All Cain and Jenny know is that if their love can survive such separation, then one day they will have a chance at The Good Life together again. Un libro cuya sinopsis y prólogo lo estropean todo. ¿Por qué digo esto? Pues porque ambas cosas ya te dicen lo más relevante que va a ocurrir. De hecho, el prólogo no solo hace un repaso a los que serán los sucesos más importantes en la vida de los protagonistas, sino que también te sitúa en el día en el que acabará la historia.

Most of her novels feature a female protagonist or antihero, and some take place within the Irish community in and around London. [4] Martina Cole - Sky Arts: The Book Show".

Veremos sus circunstancias en ese momento y, posteriormente, a lo largo de toda la novela se irá detallando cómo fueron sus vidas en los 30 años siguientes. Desde mi punto de vista, debido a la falta de intriga y de sorpresas, la lectura resulta pesada en varios instantes. Además, no es un libro cortito, tiene 437 páginas y muchas son puro relleno.

This was my first Martina Cole book so my expectations were fairly high...after all Cole is considered to be one of the great British best-selling crime authors. What I expected was a gripping and gritty crime novel, what I got was a complete mess. In March 2011 The Runaway, was shown on Sky1 and Sky1 HD. It is based on Cole's 1997 novel of the same name.

Aunque el prólogo se chive de dichas complicaciones, a mí me parece mal nombrarlas. Me gustaría conocer las razones de la autora para haber fastidiado de ese modo la lectura. A esto hay que añadir que la historia intenta dividir la atención entre los negocios de Cain y el triángulo amoroso compuesto por él, Jenny y Caroline, su esposa. Me aburría soberanamente con lo de Cain, sus enemigos y su estatus de mafioso, considero que se podría haber abreviado más esa parte, pues el tema amoroso es el que realmente es el eje de la trama. Lo que irán decidiendo Jenny y Cain y las reacciones de Caroline es lo que interesa. Se sabe la decisión más importante, pero eso no impide que dé cierta curiosidad ver cómo actúa cada personaje cuando eso ocurre.
