Sinossi
Sorelle separate da centinaia di anni. Voci che non possono essere soffocate. 2019. Nel cuore della notte Lucy si sveglia di soprassalto; si trova nella stanza del suo ex ragazzo, a cavalcioni su di lui, con le mani strette attorno alla sua gola. Cosa ci fa lì? Confusa e terrorizzata, cerca rifugio dalla sorella Jess, sperando che possa aiutarla a capire il sogno che da qualche tempo popola le sue notti: la scena vivida e inquietante di due sorelle che stanno naufragando. 1800. Le sorelle Mary ed Eliza vengono strappate al loro amato padre in Irlanda e costrette a imbarcarsi su una nave diretta in Australia. Mentre vengono trasportate sempre più lontano da tutto ciò che amano e conoscono, iniziano a notare nei loro corpi degli strani cambiamenti che non riescono a spiegarsi. 2019. Giunta a casa di Jess, Lucy non trova alcuna traccia di lei. Mentre attende il suo ritorno, inizia a sentire strane storie sulla cittadina di mare dove la sorella si è da poco trasferita: racconti di uomini scomparsi, rapiti dagli abissi; sussurri di voci femminili che serpeggiano tra le onde. Nel frattempo, quello strano sogno inizia a sembrare più reale che mai. Sirene è la storia di quattro donne separate dal tempo eppure legate più di quanto si possa immaginare. Un nuovo romanzo sulla resilienza femminile, che racchiude tutto il potere della sorellanza e l'ineffabile magia del mare.

My Reviews Can Also Be Found On: The Book Review Crew Blog I loved the author's first book Weyward , and in this one, she weaves historical mystery and drama wonderfully. The bonds of sisterhood in the two timelines drew me to this title. There's lots of trauma, but these sisters are strong, espec

The Sirens is an absolute masterpiece and my only sadness is that I finished it so quickly. We all know Emilia Hart is a true master of her art but even with extremely high expectations, they were exceeded.
