Книги автора Mary Beth Keane

История двух обычных соседских семей, живущих в тихом пригороде Нью-Йорка, в которой их дети — Кейт и Питер — связаны вначале дружбой, а затем любовью. Но нелепая трагедия, затронувшая оба семейства, разводит влюбленных на долгие годы. Встретившись снова через тридцать лет, смогут ли они понять и преодолеть?

This bold and intriguing novel is inspired by the true story of Typhoid Mary, the first person in America identified as a healthy carrier of Typhoid Fever. Mary is a brave and headstrong Irish immigrant who dreams of being a cook and fights to climb up the domestic-service ladder. However, after a medical engineer identifies her as a carrier of Typhoid Fever, Mary becomes a hunted woman and is forced into isolation. Bringing early-twentieth-century New York to life, Mary Beth Keane's ambitious retelling of a forgotten life is a fiercely compelling, dramatic, sympathetic, and unforgettable read.

An Irish woman named Greta Cahill sets sail for America and builds a new life for herself, but when secrets from her past come to light, the worlds she's kept separate collide. The Walking People beautifully captures the range and power of this story of love, family, and sacrifice. A must-read for those who love old-fashioned novels.
