"Cassandra never set out to be a psychic, least of all a famous one, with her very own magazine column, plus a glamorous TV slot thrown in for good measure. Let's face it, it's not exactly the usual career choice a girl might make, now is it? But whether she likes it or not, ever since Cassandra was a little girl she's been able to see into the future. While she can make predictions with 100 per cent accuracy for everyone around her, her psychic gift floats right out the window whenever there's a D.S.M. (decent single man) around that she actually fancies herself especially when that D.S.M happens to be her hot, new TV producer boss. It seems even being able to foretell the future can't protect Cassandra from what destiny has in store, and sometimes fate won't let you look before you love..." -- Provided by publisher

"Broken-hearted by his wife's infidelity, Nicholas leaves the comfortable life he has known in Dublin for a ramshackle house in rural Cavan. There, the house seems to speak to him, and he catches glimpses of a presence - a fragile lady in blue, a woman trapped in the memory of one regret." "June Fanning came to Cavan from England in 1941 with her Irish husband, the solid but unimaginative Robert. She knows she should be grateful for a release from her previous existence in wartime London but June is a stranger in a foreign land, an outsider. And then Robert leaves to fight in the war. Outside the house lies the orchard, trees ripe with blood red hearts, and on the other side of it is temptation." --Book Jacket.

No hace falta ser un lince para darse cuenta de que Lara Lington no atraviesa un buen momento: su novio le ha dado esquinazo, su mejor amiga se ha largado a Goa y la empresa de cazatalentos que ha montado con ella se va al garete. Ya es hora de que algo le salga bien. Pues no. En plena tormenta existencial, aparece nada menos que el fantasma de su tía abuela Sadie, recientemente fallecida a la edad de 105 años. Con el aspecto y la marcha de una joven de los años veinte, Sadie la apremia para que recupere un misterioso collar desaparecido en extrañas circunstancias, sin el cual nunca podrá disfrutar en paz de su eterno descanso. Y aunque Lara intenta tomárselo con calma, la impulsiva Sadie la empujará a través de un alucinante y laberíntico enredo en el que se verán envueltos personajes como su repelente prima Diamanté, un estirado ejecutivo norteamericano y hasta la misma policía, que se pondrá a husmear ante la sospecha de un improbable asesinato. Así, a lo largo de este hilarante laberinto, Lara acabará convencida de que, si cuentas con la ayuda de un fantasma, al final las cosas siempre se arreglan. Una chica años veinte es una de las novelas más originales de Sophie Kinsella, que con su desternillante humor se ha convertido en la autora más vendida del género en el Reino Unido, Estados Unidos, Italia y Francia.
