Haven Point
A Novel
Virginia Hume - 2021-06-08
Calificación de Goodreads
Haven Point is a sweeping family saga that follows the lives of multiple generations who spend their summers in a seaside community on Maine's rocky coast. From a young nurse swept off her feet by a Boston Brahmin in 1944 to a fiercely independent granddaughter returning to scatter her mother's ashes in 2008, this novel explores the complexities of family, traditions, and secrets over 70 years in America's history. Fans of Elin Hilderbrand, Beatriz Williams, and Sarah Blake will love this stunning debut from Virginia Hume, which PopSugar has called "the book equivalent of a beach getaway."

La casa holandesa
A Novel
Ann Patchett - 2019-09-24
Calificación de Goodreads
A finales de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, a Cyril Conroy lo visita la suerte: hace una única pero muy inteligente inversión que le permite poner en marcha lo que se convertirá en un gigantesco imperio inmobiliario. El negocio catapulta a su familia desde la pobreza a una ingente riqueza, y su primera decisión es comprar la Casa Holandesa, una rica mansión a las afueras de FIladelfia. La casa quiere ser un regalo para su esposa, pero terminará desencadenando la ruina de todos sus seres queridos. El narrador de la historia es Danny, el hijo de Cyril. Él y su hermana mayor, Maeve, tan brillante y áspera como segura de sí, se exilian de la casa en la que crecieron junto a su madrastra. Los ricos hermanos regresan de nuevo a la pobreza de la que habían escapado sus padres y caen en la cuenta de que lo único que tienen es el uno a la otra. Este vínculo indestructible entre ambos les salva la vida y, a un tiempo, truncará su futuro. " La casa holandesa " es la historia de un paraíso perdido, un " tour de force " que ahonda en cuestiones como la herencia, el amor y el perdón, y se pregunta cómo queremos vernos a nosotros mismos y quiénes somos realmente. Sembrada de suspense, quizá el lector quiera terminarla pronto para descubrir el desenlace; de cualquier modo, Danny y Maeve se quedarán con él durante largo tiempo.
