( Esme Lennox is a dreamy, bookish young woman, the kind ...)
Esme Lennox is a dreamy, bookish young woman, the kind of girl who stares and listens and won’t flirt with boys. And then, in the space of a moment, she disappears. Years later, a stunning phone call breaks the silence at Iris Lockhart’s vintage shop: her great-aunt Esme, whom she never knew existed, is being released from Cauldstone Hospital after sixty-one years. Iris’s grandmother Kitty always claimed to be an only child, but Esme’s papers prove she is Kitty’s sister, and Iris can see the shadow of her dead father in her face. Still, she’s basically a stranger, a family member never mentioned by the family, sure to bring life-altering secrets when she leaves the ward. If Iris takes her in, what dangerous truths might she inherit?

(Eine große Liebe, ein unfassbarer Betrug und ein über Jah...)
Eine große Liebe, ein unfassbarer Betrug und ein über Jahrzehnte gehütetes Familiengeheimnis Lexie Sinclair und Elina Viitala sind zwei Frauen, deren Leben fünfzig Jahre trennen. Und doch gibt es etwas, das die beiden über die Zeit hinweg verbindet. Lexie ist eine lebenshungrige Schönheit im London der 60er Jahre, die in dem weltgewandten Innes Kent ihre große Liebe gefunden hat. Die Malerin Elina und ihr Lebensgefährte Ted sind im London der Gegenwart gerade Eltern eines Sohnes geworden und müssten eigentlich überglücklich sein. Aber nicht nur die dramatischen Umstände der Geburt werfen einen Schatten auf ihr Glück: Es gibt ein Geheimnis in Teds Vergangenheit, das die kleine Familie zerstören könnte – und das die Lebenswege von Lexie, Innes, Elina und Ted untrennbar verknüpft …

Es ist der heißeste Sommer, den die Menschen in England je erlebt haben. Seit Monaten hat es nicht mehr geregnet, in den Gärten verdorrt das Gras, und schon morgens liegt die Julihitze bleiern über London, als Robert Riordan wie jeden Tag das Haus verlässt, um die Zeitung zu holen. Doch er kehrt nicht zurück. Die Suche nach ihm zwingt die drei Kinder von Robert und Gretta zur Rückkehr in ihr Elternhaus: die seit Jahren zerstrittenen Schwestern Monica und Aoife sowie ihren Bruder Michael Francis. Alle drei haben mit privaten Krisen zu kämpfen, und die Sorge um den Vater sowie das plötzliche Aufeinandertreffen spitzen die Probleme und ihre Konflikte untereinander zu. Sie ahnen nicht, dass Gretta eine Erklärung für Roberts Verschwinden haben könnte, aber ihr Geheimnis nicht einmal jetzt preisgeben kann.

( Maggie O'Farrell's captivating and critically acclaimed...)
Maggie O'Farrell's captivating and critically acclaimed gothic tale of family secrets and the irrepressible freedom that truth brings Chic and independent, Iris Lockhart is tending to her vintage-clothing shop in Edinburgh (and evading her married boyfriend) when she receives a stunning phone call: her great-aunt Esme—whom she never knew existed—is being released from Cauldstone Hospital, where she has been locked away for more than sixty years. Iris’s grandmother Kitty always claimed to be an only child. But Esme’s papers prove she is Kitty’s sister, and Iris can see the shadow of her father in Esme’s face. Esme has been labeled harmless—sane enough to coexist with the rest of the world—but she's still basically a stranger, a family member hidden away who will surely bring secrets with her when she leaves the ward. Moving expertly among the voices of Iris, Kitty, and Esme herself, Maggie O'Farrell reveals the story of Esme's tragic and haunting absence.
