Elizabeth Buchan Reihenfolge der Bücher

A gorgeous novel of family secrets and self-discovery from the bestselling author of Revenge of the Middle-Aged Woman and Two Women in Rome.

Paris, 1789. As the shadow of the guillotine falls over a nation at war with itself, three very different women find themselves caught up in the storm of revolution... In France under the last Bourbon king, the extravagance grows more outrageous and the unrest of the poor more dangerous. Into this ferment are swept the innocent English Sophie Luttrell, visiting France for the first time, the French aristocrat Héloise de Guinot, who hates the man her parents have arranged for her to marry, and Marie-Victoire , the loyal maid, who finds herself immersed in revolutionary politics. They are the daughters of the storm which is sweeping France - and over the world. Three women whose lives will be forever marked by this turning point in history and whose passionate struggle for love, liberty - and for life - will have unexpected consequences.

In wartime France an English SOE and a German Abwehr officer fall in love - with consequences neither could have foreseen... I thought loving someone was simple. It isn't. Glorious, yes. Painful, yes. Unforgettable, yes. Simple, no. It took me the war to find out... Evelyn St. John has been parachuted into France to link up with the Resistance and to work undercover. Paul von Hoch's brief, as a member of German Intelligence, is to track down enemy spies. When Evelyn and Paul meet and fall in love, their feelings for one another are fierce, but can never be uncomplicated. And when the battle lines shift, and patriotism gives way to deeper truths, they will both face the gravest of challenges.

A beautifully atmospheric story of two women who can never meet, set in a city full of secrets ancient and modern...

In ihrem neuen Roman erzählt Elizabeth Buchan von einem besonderen Ort voller Wunder und Traurigkeit, Hoffnung und Verlust: »Das Museum der unerfüllten Versprechen«. Auf zwei Zeitebenen und in zwei atmosphärischen Städten – das Paris der Gegenwart und Prag in den 80er-Jahren – entfaltet sich die Geschichte einer zarten und zugleich gefährlichen Liebe und einer bewegenden inneren Reise. Mitten in Paris befindet sich ein außergewöhnliches Museum, das Museum der unerfüllten Versprechen. Jedes seiner Ausstellungsstücke – eine leere Keksdose, ein Zugticket, ein Babyschuh – steht für einen Moment voller Trauer und Verrat. Doch wer hier einen Gegenstand abgibt, macht sich damit frei von den Dämonen der Vergangenheit. Auch Laure, die Besitzerin des Museums, hofft auf diesen befreienden Effekt. Unter den Exponaten sind Zeugnisse ihrer eigenen Jugend. Sie führen ins Prag des Jahres 1985, wo Laure als Au-pair gearbeitet hat. Als sie sich in einen rebellischen jungen Musiker verliebt, hat das schreckliche Konsequenzen. Denn das Leben hinter dem Eisernen Vorhang ist kompliziert – und Gefahr lauert überall. »Eine Perle von einem Buch – elegant geschrieben und wunderschön!« Marian Keyes
