Die Kunst, Schluss zu machen

Sommer, Sonne, Kalifornien – sie ist 17, als sie in London vom Tod ihrer Mutter erfährt, die sie nie gekannt hat. Mit einer Handvoll Briefe und Fotos macht sie sich in Los Angeles auf die Suche nach dem Menschen, der ihre Mutter gewesen ist – und findet Unglaubliches sowie ihre erste Liebe. Ein aufregendes Debüt."

Pink Hotel

Leaving has always come naturally to Eva Elliott. The daughter of a pilot, she spent her childhood leaving schools and cities. Now an adult, she enjoys the thrill of saying goodbye much more than the butterflies of a first smile or kiss. There's so much more potential in walking away, and Eva has always had a dangerously vivid imagination. During a rainy summer in Soho, when she becomes fascinated by a golden eagle that has escaped London Zoo to prowl the city, and a beguiling stranger begins appearing around town armed with a conspiratorial smile and a secret, Eva discovers that endings just aren't as easy as they used to be. Is it a flirtation playing out among the crumbling offices, clubs, and alleys of Soho, or something much darker?
