Sinossi
Un grande romanzo americano epico come un classico. Dopo trent'anni, Vincent sta per tornare a casa. Per molti ha scontato la sua pena ma non la sua colpa. Tra vecchi affetti e odi mai sopiti, il suo arrivo in città sconvolgerà per sempre i destini di Cape Haven. Duchess Radley ha tredici anni e si è autoproclamata «fuorilegge», convinta che le regole valgano solo per gli altri. È lei a proteggere il fratellino e a occuparsi di Star, sua madre. L'unico sostegno arriva da Walk, lo sceriffo, un uomo dallo sguardo perennemente rivolto al passato che non ha mai lasciato Cape Haven. Walk è vicino a Star e alla sua famiglia perché trent'anni prima una tragedia li ha segnati in modo indelebile. Ma adesso che Vincent, responsabile di quei fatti, è stato rilasciato, bisognerà fare i conti con il prezzo del suo ritorno.

I’m not giv Leggi tutto

He makes it his mission to keep a close eye on those who he needs to protect the most. I love small town Leggi tutto
This is NOT one of those past/present dual narratives that are so often found in novels these days. It is a present moment story, but the past is as present as the now. When we learn of things that happened in the past, the relevancy is stunning and sometimes surprising. I’m not going to discuss the Leggi tutto
I spent the first 40% of this book questioning why it was getting so many stellar reviews. I mean, I thought it was 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥 but I wasn't super impressed.
