A 15 éves Amber Alton jól tudja, hogy az órák máshogyan járnak Black Rabbit Hallban, ebben az õsi cornwalli házban. A végtelenbe nyúló nyarak tökéletesek a rejtélyekkel és nyúlüregekkel teli birtokon - egészen addig a viharos éjszakáig, amikor minden megváltozik. Több mint három évtizeddel késõbb Lorna egy homályos gyermekkori emlék hatására úgy dönt, hogy ebben az omladozó, repkénnyel benõtt házban köti össze életét szíve választottjával, ám a néhai nagyságának nyomait õrzõ házat és az azt körülvevõ birtokot járva rá kell jönnie, hogy nem csupán a szeszély hozta vissza ide. Élete összefonódik a hajdan Black Rabbit Hallban történtekkel - ahogy annak az egykor boldog családénak is, amelynek emlékei a mai napig kísértik az ódon házat. Lorna tudja, hogy fel kell fednie a titkokat - mind saját gyermekkoráét, mind a tragikus sorsú Alton családét. Eve Chase nagy sikerû bemutatkozó regényében elfeledett gyermekkorról, széttört álmokról és a családi szeretet erejérõl szõ lenyûgözõ történetet.

Borostyánba szőtt titkok

Amber Alton sa che il tempo scorre in modo diverso a Black Rabbit Hall, la grande casa di famiglia dove lei, il suo gemello Toby, i piccoli Kitty e Barnes trascorrono le estati e le vacanze. Vacanze all'insegna della libertà, delle corse scalzi sulla spiaggia o tra i boschi. Il tempo a Black Rabbit Hall è immobile, eterno, nessuno fa caso agli orologi e sembra non accada mai nulla. Eppure una notte tempestosa qualcosa succede, qualcosa di terribile, e niente più è come prima. Sono passati oltre trent'anni quando Lorna arriva a Black Rabbit Hall, decisa a sposarsi in Cornovaglia, in una di quelle maestose e austere residenze che hanno il sapore di un'altra epoca. È un incontro col passato degli Alton, un'immersione totale, sconvolgente, nella stagione felice di una famiglia che sembra essersi dissolta tra le sale ormai fredde e umide, i soffitti crepati, le stanze polverose di quella grande casa. È tra quelle camere che Lorna scopre l'urgenza di capire cosa è accaduto a quei bambini e al tempo stesso di trovare risposte al proprio passato, disseppellendo ricordi e immagini della sua infanzia e della madre adottiva, scavando nei segreti che ancora segnano la sua famiglia.Con un romanzo intriso di atmosfere gotiche, Eve Chase ci conduce in un viaggio affascinante nel cuore di due donne, separate dai decenni eppure irrimediabilmente legate in un nodo di misteri e non detti che avvolge ogni pietra, ogni soglia, ogni gradino di Black Rabbit Hall.
