Sinossi
Tara e sua madre Violet erano inseparabili. Almeno fino a quando non era entrato nella loro vita Larry, un uomo ricco e affascinante, che alla fine aveva convinto Violet a concedersi una vacanza in Spagna senza la figlia. Una vacanza da cui, però, non erano più tornati…
A trent’anni di distanza, Tara si è ormai rassegnata al fatto che Violet sia morta. Eppure, un giorno, un avvocato di Londra le consegna la chiave di una cassetta di sicurezza intestata a lei. Vi è custodito soltanto un medaglione con, al suo interno, una fotografia di Violet. Tara lo riconosce subito: è l’ultimo regalo che aveva fatto alla madre, proprio alla vigilia della sua partenza. Possibile allora che Violet sia ancora viva? Tara deve scoprirlo, quindi si reca immediatamente in Spagna e, ripercorrendo le tappe di quel fatidico viaggio, a poco a poco ricostruirà la storia di una donna innamorata e ingenua, di un uomo spregevole e senza scrupoli, di un legame che né il tempo né la distanza hanno potuto spezzare. Perché non c’è nulla di più forte dell’amore di una madre per una figlia, e sarà proprio quell’amore a illuminare il cammino di Tara e a condurla, finalmente, alla verità.

Loved almost everything about it - except for one major disappointment. I just feel the ending was rushed. The story itself was so rich and layered with excellent character development and an amazing buildup. But the end...sigh.

This really was a good read! The story fluctuated seamlessly between the present day and 1978. I enjoyed the 70’s trip down memory lane! The characters were engaging and there were a few surprises along the way. Tara hadn’t had an easy life and now she had the chance to find out what had happened to Leggi tutto
I have read all of Kathryn Hughes books. This one was a bit different, but I just loved it. I loved all the characters especially Violet. I loved the Spanish twist. I can’t wait for Kathryn’s next book!
This is the third book I’ve read by this author and my least favourite as the plot was so far-fetched.
