Pan • 2015

Thirty years have passed since Greta left Marchmont Hall, a grand and beautiful house nestled in the hills of rural Monmouthshire. But when she returns to the Hall for Christmas, at the invitation of ...her old friend David Marchmont, she has no recollection of her past association with it - the result of a tragic accident that has blanked out more than two decades of her life. Then, during a walk through the wintry landscape, she stumbles across a grave in the woods, and the weathered inscription on the headstone tells her that a little boy is buried here . . .The poignant discovery strikes a chord in Greta's mind and soon ignites a quest to rediscover her lost memories. With David's help, she begins to piece together the fragments of not only her own story, but that of her daughter, Cheska, who was the tragic victim of circumstances beyond her control. And, most definitely, not the angel she appeared to be . . .

RECENZIA: Lucinda Riley - Anjelský strom

Sumár recenzie
Román Anjelský strom (pôvodne vyšel ako Nie práve anjel) od Lucindy Rileyovej, napísaný pod pseudonymom Lucinda Edmonds, je rozsiahla rodinná sága sledujúca osudy troch generácií žien. Hlavná hrdinka Greta Simpsonová po strašnej nehode trpí amnéziou, kým jej dcéra Cheska vyrastie ako filmová hviezda, ktorá nikdy nezažila bežné detstvo a jej život je plný konfliktov. Po návrate na staré panstvo s Davidom Marchmontom nález náhrobku malého Jonnyho spustí lavínu spomienok a odkrývanie rodinných tajomstiev, ktoré autorka pri reedícii doplnila o nové kapitoly. Podľa recenzie kniha zaujme silnými postavami a emotívnou kombináciou tragédie, nádeje a lásky, ktorá čitateľa hlboko zasiahne.
