The House of Tides
Autor Hannah Richellen Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 iul 2013
There is Dora, the family's youngest daughter, who lives in a ramshackle London warehouse with her artist boyfriend. She is doing a good job of skating across the surface of her life, but when she discovers she is pregnant, she finds herself staring back at the darkness of a long-held guilt. Dora's mother, Helen, is a complicated woman whose relationship with her family has always been turbulent, while her father Richard has cobbled together a life that bears little resemblance to his boyhood dreams. And Cassie, Dora's long-estranged sister, has cut off her family entirely, it seems.
When Dora arrives at Clifftops, her family's rambling home on the Dorset coast, it seems that Helen might finally be ready to make amends for her own part in the tragedy. But what Dora soon discovers is that the path to redemption does not rest solely with her mother. Can family crimes this damaging ever really be forgiven?

Recenzii
"I
whiled
away
a
few
joyous
hours
with
Hannah
Richell's
debut
novel
.

.
this
is
a
'family

at
its
stirring
best,
a
page-turner
for
sure.
It's
the
perfect
novel
for
a
sunny
day
at

or
a
rainy
one,
indoors
on
the
windowseat."—The
