Lucinda Riley was born in Ireland and, after an early career as an actress in film, theatre and television, wrote her first novel aged twenty-four. Her books have been translated into thirty-seven languages and The Seven Sisters series specifically has become a global phenomenon, creating its own genre.
In 2020, Lucinda received the Dutch Platinum Award for sales of over 300,000 copies for a single novel in one year – an award last won by J. K. Rowling for Harry Potter. In collaboration with her son Harry Whittaker, she also devised and wrote the Guardian Angels series of books for children.
Though she brought up her four children mostly in Norfolk, England, she fulfilled her dream in 2015 of buying a remote farmhouse in West Cork, Ireland, which she always felt was her spiritual home, and this was where her last five books were written.
Lucinda was diagnosed with cancer in 2017 and died on 11 June 2021, surrounded by her family.
Una historia de olvido y recuerdo cuyas raíces se hundirán en lo más profundo de nuestra memoria.
Han pasado treinta años desde que Greta dejara atrás Marchmont Hall, una hermosa casa situada en los montes del rural Monmouthshire. Pero cuando regresa allí en Navidad, invitada por su viejo amigo David Marchmont, no guarda ningún recuerdo de su tiempo pasado allí: un trágico accidente ha borrado las huellas de décadas enteras de su vida. Paseando por el frío paraje, Greta descubre una tumba entre los árboles, y la desdibujada inscripción le revela que un niño descansa eternamente bajo tierra.
El chocante hallazgo despierta antiguos recuerdos en la mente de Greta. Así, con la ayuda de David, empezará a unir las piezas dispersas no solo de su propio pasado, sino de la historia de su hija Cheska, cuya imagen se alejará poco a poco de la del ángel que parecía ser...
Críticas:
«Riley lo ha vuelto a conseguir. Una historia elegantemente esculpida que gustará tanto a los fans de la novela romántica como a los de la histórica.»
Library Journal
