Sinossi
UNA RAGAZZA DEVE IMPARARE A DIVENTARE PADRONA DEL PROPRIO DESTINO. New York, anni Venti, i famosi Roaring Twenties: Anna ha sedici anni e fin da bambina aiuta la madre, una famosa medium, negli spettacoli. Ma, contrariamente a sua madre che è un’abile attrice, Anna ha veramente il dono di «sentire» le emozioni altrui e di predire il futuro. E in questo futuro vede sua madre in pericolo: le sue visioni si fanno sempre più intense e spaventose, al punto che Anna decide di esplorare fino in fondo questa parte di sé che aveva sempre negato. Così, quando Cole, un ragazzo misterioso, si trasferisce in un appartamento vicino e introduce Anna a una società segreta che studia proprio persone come lei, Anna si trova costretta a confrontarsi con il suo passato e con le certezze della sua vita. Ma Anna è anche una sedicenne come tante altre, con i suoi istinti ribelli, i suoi capricci e la sua rabbia esplosiva. E, come tutte le ragazze della sua età, anche lei è alla ricerca dell’amore e dell’affermazione di se stessa. Riusciranno le sue abilità a districare la rete di intrighi in cui, suo malgrado, è caduta? E, soprattutto, la sua sensibilità sarà in grado di farle individuare qual è il suo vero destino? Riuscirà Anna lillusionista, brava a liberarsi da quasi tutto, a liberarsi dai condizionamenti e a seguire il suo cuore?

Born of Illusion falls into that inevitably irritating category of novels which have received a mixed bag of reviews. A handful of my trusted reviewers loved this, another handful really enjoyed this, and still another group of them just couldn't connect with this one. Thus, I did what any reader wo Leggi tutto
One of the recent trends seems to be historical fiction set in the 1920s. Born of Illusion is the third one I've read in the last year with a focus on the occult during the prohibition era. The fact that Born of Illusion follows on the heels of The Diviners and In the Shadow of Blackbirds does not r Leggi tutto
