Über diesen Titel
From the very first time you open your eyes, they are all talking at you–telling stories, telling secrets. So why when at last you can make them understand you, are they so surprised that you remember, that you know?
Rachel Isaacson, spirited, otherworldly, and haunted, is born into a rigidly Old World family in New York’s Lower East Side. Hungry for independence, Rachel enters a marriage of convenience with violent consequences.
Across the Atlantic, storyteller, fiddler, and cliff climber Ciaran McMurrough is raised in pastoral innocence on Rathlin off the coast of Ulster. His upbringing in a tight-knit, isolated community leaves him unprepared for the subtle political passions following the Irish Civil War.
Outcasts—one by choice, one by chance—Rachel and Ciaran meet on the docks of lower Manhattan in 1928. Drawn to each other in this lyrical story, they seemed doomed as eternal lovers to repeat a cycle of love and loss.

Kritikerstimmen
"This novel is quietly, subtly, an epic told on a human scale. From the very beginning, I found myself submerged in early 1900s New York. The setting and the characters were painted in stunning detail as the story of young Rachel unfolds, a girl whose spirit cannot be confined by her rigid Jewish upbringing. She discovers a hidden power in thinking for herself and defying her repressive family. Meanwhile, across the world on a small island off Ireland, we meet Ciaran, a young man who likewise carries a spirit that sets him apart from his own people. That the author so deftly brings these two completely different people and their worlds so authentically to life left me in awe." (Joe Stillman, Academy Award®-nominated screenwriter)
