ROSEMARY'S BABY by Ira Levin-premiyeri

Ajansı Harold Ober'in bu kitabın NBC'de yeniden mini dizi olarak yayınlanmasıyla ilgili yorumunun Türkçeleştirilmiş halidir;

Rosemary's Baby'i NBC'nin yeniden gösterime almasıyla ilgili eleştirmenlerden gelen olumlu yorumlarla, dizinin Pazar günkü premiyeri ile ilgili heyecanımızı daha da arttırmakta olduğunu söylemekten mutluyum. Bu yorum New York Times'dan,"   Paris'in 8. bölgesindeki kötü olasılıkların yakalanmasından, Jason Isaacs ve Carole Bouquet'a oyunculuklarını sergilemesine kadar her haliyle Agnieszka Holland’ın diziye farklı dokunuşlarla sergilediği  mükemmel yönetmenliği, Ruth Gordon ve  Sidney Blackmer'in Polanski yönetmenliğiyle oynadıkları ilk orjinal halinden ayrılıyor, " diyerek yönetmen Agnieska Holland'ı övüyor.
Sahne arkası görüntülerine bağlanan link filmin yeniden gösteriminden de parçalar sunuyor, ayrıca Zoe Saldana, Jason Isaacs, Patrick J. Adams, ve yönetmenle yapılan söyleşilerde bulunmakta. Tıklayınız;http://nyti.ms/1nt9EpT

Romanda oyuncu eşiyle birlikte New York'ta yeni bir daireye taşınan Rosemary Woodhouse'un yaşamının yan dairede oturan yaşli çiftle tanıştıktan sonra nasıl değiştiği ve korkuyla dolduğu gayet ustalıklı ve akıcı bir şekilde anlatılır. Bu eserRoman Polanski tarafından 1968'de romana sadık kalınarak aynı adla sinemaya da aktarılmıştı.

Robin Stevens:Murder Most Unladylike

Praise for Robin Stevens’ MURDER MOST UNLADYLIKE!

“The book that has given me most pleasure is a first novel by Robin Stevens, Murder Most Unladylike (Corgi, published next month), which combines the pleasures of Enid Blyton’s boarding school books with her secret society ones. Best friends Daisy Wells and Hazel Wong find themselves at the heart of a murder investigation when Hazel discovers the body of a teacher in the school gym.

Plotting is what sets this book apart; this is about who was where at the time of the murder, and it’s about finding the chink in the alibi. Stevens’s duo – Daisy, who hides her sharpness under a chummy exterior, and Hazel, recently arrived from Hong Kong and out of place in an English boarding school – are interesting enough to hold up a second volume.” –Lorna Bradbury, The Telegraph UK
