Poignant, hopeful, and full of emotional power, an unforgettable story in the vein of P.S. I Love You about two people learning to love again after great loss, perfect for fans of Jojo Moyes and Josie Silver. How can you move on if you can't let go? Spencer was the love of Anna's life: her husband, her best friend, her rock. She thought their love would last forever. But three years ago, Spencer was tragically killed in an accident and Anna's world was shattered. How can she ever move on, when she's lost her soulmate? On New Year's Eve Anna calls Spencer's phone number, just to hear his old voicemail greeting. But to her shock, someone answers... Brody has inherited Spencer's old number and is the first person who truly understands what Anna's going through. As her and Brody's phone calls become lengthier and more frequent, they begin opening up to each other--and slowly rediscover how to smile, how to laugh, even how to hope. But Brody hasn't been entirely honest with Anna. Will his secret threaten everything, just as it seems she might find the courage to love again?

Der Schmerz will nicht nachlassen – bis ein Fremder in ihr Leben tritt, der vielleicht alles für immer verändern wird. Wie so oft ruft Anna verzweifelt das Handy ihres verstorbenen Mannes an, um noch einmal seine Stimme auf dem Anrufbeantworter zu hören und der Mailbox ihr Herz auszuschütten. Doch diesmal ist da jemand am anderen Ende der Leitung. Und dieser Mann ist sehr lebendig. Doch da spricht nicht Spencer, sondern Brody. Zum ersten Mal glaubt Anna sich in ihrer Trauer verstanden zu fühlen. Denn auch Brody hat sich nach einem harten Schicksalsschlag aus dem Leben zurückgezogen. Während Anna langsam versucht, zurück in ihren Londoner Alltag zu finden, denkt sie immer häufiger an Brody. Werden die zwei es wagen, die Geschichte ihres eigenen Glücks zu schreiben?

Roman

Am Abgrund balanciert es sich am besten

Explore the rich history of women's work and the art of cooking over an open hearth in historic Canadian kitchens. Today the fireplace with its crackling logs is a romantic icon representing the heart of the home, but not so long ago its role was much more than symbolic. A hearth or fireplace was an essential first fixture in Canadian homes and its warmth sustained the family in many ways. Whether in a longhouse, a fishing shack, a log cabin, a manor home, or on a thriving farm, the kitchen was the main workplace of Canadian women within family centred households for generations. Its central feature is the focal point of Hearth and Home, a social history that evokes the sights, smells, and tastes of historic kitchens. This book tells the story of the women who worked back-breaking hours tending the fire and using its energy with skill and resourceful creativity to nourish their families or feed a hungry fort. Fiona Lucas, culinary historian and practiced hearth cook, synthesizes the shared experience of the family cook across decades and cultures, along the way introducing readers to fascinating dishes such as the hedgehog pudding and tools such as the salamander and the spider. The text is illustrated with photographs from historic sites including Black Creek Pioneer Village, Louisbourg, Kings Landing, Upper Canada Village, and many others. This is a book that will appeal to readers of Canadian history, and to anyone who has puzzled over the now unusual kitchen tools once common in 19th-century homes.
