Sinossi
Londra, 1888. Una città in cui convivono ladri, prostitute e sognatori, in cui i bambini giocano di giorno nelle stesse strade dove di notte Jack lo Squartatore va a caccia. Fiona Finnegan, bella e indomita, è operaia alla Burton Tea Company, la maggiore società di importazione e lavorazione del tè; è povera, ma crede in una vita migliore, lontana dalle luride banchine del porto e vuole aprire un negozio tutto suo assieme a Joe, il suo grande amore di sempre. Quando però lui tradisce la sua fiducia e il padre, la madre e il fratello maggiore muoiono uno dopo l'altro in maniera sospetta, le sue speranze vengono spazzate via, e a lei non resta che andarsene oltre oceano, a New York, a cercare fortuna.

The Tea Rose was a really good book, and I'm so glad I persevered past the absolutely devastating first 200-300-odd pages. It's one of those books that starts off with everything going so well that you know it's not going to last long. I had a sense of foreboding, but the amount of tragedy and pain
4.5 very strong stars! As I listened to the audiobook on Overdrive of The Tea Rose by Jennifer Donnelly, I knew I had to make a conscious commitment to this book when I learned that it ran for twenty eight hours and thirty-one minutes. As I started listening, I was immediately drawn into this grippi Leggi tutto
Όταν έβλεπα τις 800 σελίδες αυτού του βιβλίου τρόμαζα και το άφηνα για καιρό. Όχι επειδή δεν αντέχω το διάβασμα, αλλά η πείρα μου, μου έχει μάθει ότι κείμενα τέτοιου μεγέθους είναι γεμάτα περιττές λεπτομέρειες και φλυαρίες. Με το “Τριανταφυλλάκι”έπεσα έξω. Mου άρεσαν πολλά πράγματα. Πρώτον, η πλοκή Leggi tutto
