Sinossi
Un rapporto sbagliato fin dall’inizio, quello tra Calista e Alexandros. Lei, irlandese, appena diciassettenne si invaghisce di quel greco affascinante che ha quasi il doppio dei suoi anni. Scambia per amore la sua ansia di controllo e quando rimane incinta non può far altro che sposarlo, visto che vive nell’Irlanda cattolica e perbenista degli anni Settanta. Il matrimonio, tra violenze psicologiche e fisiche, durerà solo sei anni e vedrà nascere una femmina, Imogen, e anche un maschietto, Omiron. Separata dal marito, che per ripicca si tiene i figli, Calista cerca di rifarsi una vita con il cognato, e attua la sua vendetta nei confronti del marito, truffandolo con false opere d’arte. Ma dal male può nascere solo altro male…

Many critics feel this is a story about children and family, for me it was more about how easily women are swept away by love and the consequences of their choices. This story is beautifully crafted bring the lives of the two main characters Calista a young 17 year old Irish girl who is swept off he Leggi tutto
It was overall an okay read, however I couldn't help but think that it could have been wound down to a 3 minute read in a take a break magazine. Many parts were boring and felt like page fillers. Tbh I don't see any part that is inspired by Greek mythology. More like a story line picked up from 'pic Leggi tutto
Sometimes in publishing you fall madly in love with a novel and can't. stop. talking about it. Catherine Dunne is such a rare talent and we are extremely proud to publish her.
