Make sure you check triggers before reading this one as it can be a very hard read in some places. This is told in 3 parts. Part 1 focuses around domestic violence and abuse towards children. It was so good though and nothing that I was expecting. Part 2 slows down a lot though. You do get some more around one character from part 1, but it was really short. Part 3 also brings a little bit around someones past but it also moved fast. Sadly, part 2 and 3 were just not for me and focused more on things that just lost that initial engagement for me. Another great Nora Roberts. This one examined heavily the themes of child abuse and domestic abuse. Zane and Britt are growing up in a house that looks perfect on the outside but harbors terrible secrets. No one will believe Zane if he tells the truth. His parents are respected members of the community with connections. As usual, the characters shine in this long saga that takes us across decades and the lives and romances of multiple generations. Beautiful descriptions of North Carolina and gorgeous gardens! Trigger Warnings: Please excuse typos/name misspellings. Entered on screen reader. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

"From the #1 New York Times bestselling author, a novel about the power of family to harm--and to heal. Within the walls of a tasteful, perfectly kept house in North Carolina's Blue Ridge Mountains, young Zane Bigelow feels like a prisoner of war. Strangers--and even Zane's own aunt across the lake--see his parents as a successful surgeon and his stylish wife, making appearances at their children's ballet recitals and baseball games. Zane and his sister know the truth: There is something terribly wrong. As his father's violent, controlling rages--and his mother's complicity--become more and more oppressive, Zane counts the years, months, days until he can escape. He looks out for little Britt, warning her: Be smart; Be careful. In fear for his very life, he plays along with the insidious lie that everything is fine, while scribbling his real thoughts in a secret journal he must carefully hide away. When one brutal, shattering night finally reveals cracks in the façade, Zane begins to understand that some people are willing to face the truth, even when it hurts. As he grows into manhood and builds a new kind of family, he will find that while the darkness of his past may always shadow him, it will also show him what is necessary for good to triumph--and give him strength to draw on when he once again must stand up and defend himself and the ones he loves..."-- Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

No one writes love like Nora Roberts. This one has it in spades. There's peril and escape, there's art, there's family both malevolent and loving. There's true love, and triumph over dark pasts, and decisive vanquishing of danger and evil - strength and love triumphant. ( )
