Acerca de esta escucha

From the author of the New York Times bestsellers The Paris Apartment and The Guest List, an evocative love story set along the Italian Riviera about a group of charismatic stars who all have secrets and pasts they try desperately—and dangerously—to hide.

Rome, 1953: Hal, an itinerant journalist flailing in the post-war darkness, has come to the Eternal City to lose himself and to seek absolution for the thing that haunts him. One evening he finds himself on the steps of a palazzo, walking into a world of privilege and light. Here, on a rooftop above the city, he meets the mysterious Stella. Hal and Stella are from different worlds, but their connection is magnetic. Together, they escape the crowded party and imagine a different life, even if it's just for a night. Yet Stella vanishes all too quickly, and Hal is certain their paths won't cross again.

But a year later they are unexpectedly thrown together, after Hal receives an invitation he cannot resist. An Italian Contessa asks him to assist on a trip of a lifetime—acting as a reporter on a tremendous yacht, skimming its way along the Italian coast toward Cannes film festival, the most famous artists and movie stars of the day gathered to promote a new film.

Of all the luminaries aboard—an Italian ingénue, an American star, a reclusive director—only one holds Hal in thrall: Stella. And while each has a past that belies the gilded surface, Stella has the most to hide. As Hal's obsession with Stella grows, he becomes determined to bring back the girl she once was, the girl who's been confined to history. An irresistibly entertaining and atmospheric novel set in some of the world's most glamorous locales, The Invitation is a sultry love story about the ways in which the secrets of the past stay with us—no matter how much we try to escape them.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Can I find words eloquent enough to describe this novel? Lucy Foley's THE INVITATION is so exquisite in its writing that it may take a place among the classics—but it was the combination of the glittering, glamorous setting and the magnetic characters that mesmerized me. This book is luminous."—Elin Hilderbrand, bestselling author of Here's To Us

"Pop this tale of love, secrets and obsession right into your beach bag."—People

"Certain that they'll never meet again, journalist Hal and socialite Stella indulge in an illicit rendezvous. But when they're reunited on a yacht in Cannes a year later, temptation is everywhere."—Cosmopolitan

My least favorite of her books

I was so excited to see she had a new book out. I loved the Guest List and the hunting party. This one dragged on at parts and I didn’t find myself sneaking in a listen when I shouldn’t like I do when I get sucked into a book. I was good, but not my favorite.

Who are we really?

I have read all of Lucy Foley’s more recent books, so it was interesting to go back and read one of her first books. She is a master of the multi-point of view story. This book moves a lot slower than many of her recent books. The characters are very interesting in their own ways. I hadn’t guessed the very end and that was a happy surprise.

Really great character development

I wasn’t sure I liked this story in the first third of the book but then I realized how well she had described the cast and how much I liked (most of) the characters. Fun people, glamorous places and great historical context. Didn’t want it to end.

Disappointed

I’ve read a few of Lucy Foley books and I felt this one meandered a lot, the character development was strong but I felt like it wasn’t as strong of a story line.

A perfect gem of a novel!

I love all of Foley's books, but this one stands out. The story is believable, and the connection between past and present a tantalizing mechanism.

Great story

Loved the book and the story line. I’m becoming a big fan of Lucy Foley’s.
The narration was pretty good but since the book has some Italian in it I’d loved to hear the correct pronunciation to those words.

So Intriguing

I don’t often write reviews, but felt compelled to do so upon finishing the book. I found it particularly well written and thought the reader was unusually good with all the characters. I thought her tone so suited the story. Initially it took me a bit to get involved, but I was hooked not long after.

A Mediterranean Escape

Fascinating, creative, beautiful prose and description. Evokes moods of places beautifully. I felt like I had escaped on a wonderful trip.
