A clairvoyant teen orphan is relocated to India where kidnappings, enemy spies, and terrorist plots of a world at war all challenge her extraordinary powers. It's 1914. Sixteen year old Sophie Pritchard, orphaned two years earlier by a famous sea disaster, is about to begin a new life in the unfamiliar world of British India. For Sophie, still devastated by her parent's death, India proves a dangerously unsettling environment. Are her terrifying experiences in Kali's temple and the Park Street cemetery hallucinations, or has she somehow been drawn back through the centuries as a witness to dark places in Calcutta's past? Sophie it seems has become an unwilling traveler in a timeless zone where past, present and future co-exist. Kidnapping, enemy spies, and terrorist plots all play their part against the background of a world at war and growing unrest in the Indian subcontinent. Soon Sophie's powers of precognition will be called upon to help thwart a conspiracy that could incite a bloodbath in Calcutta, and deliver India into enemy hands. "Sophie, in Shadow deftly weaves intrigue, spies, and mystics with more than a dash of the occult into a story that will captivate any reader." - Linda DeMeulemeester Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

The book takes place at a time when the Raj, the English occupation of India, is drawing to its end, and both danger and new understandings come Sophie's way.
Sophie, in Shadow is a worthy sequel to Wild Talent. The settings, both of Calcutta and of the monastic hermitage of Alexandra David-Neel, adventurer turned student of Tibetan Buddhism, where Sophie retreats for much of one season. There is excitement but also believable characters I came to care about. I read this book every chance I had till, regrettably, it was done. Kernaghan does not disappoint. ( )
