Clementine begint een zoektocht die haar leven al snel drastisch zal veranderen. Hier werd ze met haar mooie en extroverte nichtje Bea grootgebracht door haar aristocratische oom en tante. Addie en Bea zijn elkaars tegenpolen, maar closer dan zussen. Dan vertrekt Bea met haar man naar Kenia en als Addie haar daar bezoekt is alles anders. Er blijkt iets ergs te zijn gebeurd dat de vrouwen niet met elkaar kunnen delen. Hun sterke band wordt hevig op de proef gesteld. A New York Times best seller!
As a lawyer in a large Manhattan firm, just shy of making partner, Clementine Evans has finally achieved almost everything she's been working towards—but now she's not sure it's enough. Her long hours have led to a broken engagement and, suddenly single at thirty-four, she feels her messy life crumbling around her. But when the family gathers for her grandmother Addie's ninety-ninth birthday, a relative lets slip hints about a long-buried family secret, leading Clemmie on a journey into the past that could change everything.
Growing up at Ashford Park in the early twentieth century, Addie has never quite belonged. When her parents passed away, she was taken into the grand English house by her aristocratic aunt and uncle, and raised side-by-side with her beautiful and outgoing cousin, Bea. Though they are as different as night and day, Addie and Bea are closer than sisters, through relationships and challenges, and a war that changes the face of Europe irrevocably.
But what happens when something finally comes along that can't be shared? When the love of sisterhood is tested by a bond that's even stronger? From the inner circles of British society to the skyscrapers of Manhattan and the red-dirt hills of Kenya, the never-told secrets of a woman and a family unfurl.
Then he rescues her from a blackmailer—and kisses her! From Harlequin Historical: Your romantic escape to the past. Rafe Beaumont, fifth son of an earl, uses his irresistible charm with the ladies to glean dangerous war secrets.
Now he's putting those skills to the ultimate test: capturing an elusive assassin by seducing his daughter. The problem? She's entirely immune to Rafe's flattery. Never before has Collette Fortier met a man as attractive as Rafe. But her father's life is at stake, and succumbing to Rafe would be disastrous.
But when Rafe turns the tables on her, offering support and friendship instead of a fleeting affair, Collette finds herself tempted in ways she never could have imagined Galen is an amazing talent and never disappoints.
A sharp, poignant battle of wills between a wonderful wounded hero and the only heroine brave enough to get past his defenses.
Don't miss it! Late-eighteenth- and early-nineteenth-century British texts often repressed the very sexual energies they claimed to be bringing into the open. The delineation of what could and could not be said and done in the name of physical pleasure was of a piece with the capitalist consecration of the social trust to the individual profit-motive.
Both these practices, moreover, presupposed a determinate self with sovereignty over its own interests. Writings from and about some nominally public institutions were thus characterized by privatism—a sexual, economic and ontological withdrawal from otherness.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and loved the characters and their struggles and triumphs. It was a book I greatly enjoyed and would love to see Lauren Willig. Public Pastes. Python 26 min ago 1.
