1860... Faith Sunderly est la fille d'un pasteur et éminent naturaliste. Accusé d'avoir trompé la communauté scientifique, celui-ci part s'exiler avec sa famille sur une île au large des côtes anglaises. Mais des menaces se propagent, jusqu'au drame. Que son père lui a-t-il caché ? Défiant les convenances sociales, avec toute la fougue de ses quatorze ans, Faith osera-t-elle faire surgir la vérité ? Une vérité qui pourrait se révéler fort dangereuse... Une héroïne passionnée, follement audacieuse et féministe avant l'heure. Une intrigue captivante, une écriture magnifique.

L'île aux mensonges

Verdigris Deep

Faith Sunderly vodi dvostruki život. Za većinu ljudi, ona je pouzdana, stabilna, povjerenja vrijedna mlada dama koja zna svoje mjesto u svijetu devetnaestog stoljeća, mjesto žene inferiorne muškarcu. No, iznutra, Faith vrije od pitanja i znatiželje i teško se može othrvati misterijima, radoznala je, neobuzdana i sasvim ispred svoga vremena. Faithin otac slavni je znanstvenik koji će sa svojom obitelji, u pokušaju da ih zaštiti od skandala, napustiti Englesku i odseliti na udaljeni otok Vane. Ubrzo nakon preseljenja pronađen je mrtav, a okolnosti njegove smrti nisu sasvim jasne. Faith odlučuje pokušati otkriti istinu o očevoj smrti, pa pretražujući njegove rukopise saznaje za neobično drvo. Riječ je o drvu koje rađa plod samo ako mu se šapne laž. Plod, pak, otkriva skrivene istine. Čini se da bi čarobno drvo moglo otkriti tko je ubio Faithina oca. A možda će dovesti ubojice ravno k njoj - jer laži se šire nezaustavljivo kao požar.
