Reader, she married me... the beloved, enigmatic hero of Jane Eyre tells his story for the first time.
Sarah Shoemaker Knihy
Sarah Shoemakerová sa na základnej škole rozhodla, že sa stane spisovateľkou, a po dlhej a kľukatej ceste, ktorá zahŕňala povolania učiteľky, manželky, matky v domácnosti a knihovníčky, sa jej to konečne podarilo. Jej diela skúmajú zložité postavy a vzťahy, pričom sa ponára do hlbín ľudskej psychiky. Shoemakerová má talent na oživovanie známych literárnych postáv a skúmanie ich vnútorného sveta novým a pútavým spôsobom. Jej písanie je oslavou sily rozprávania príbehov a hľadania porozumenia v literatúre.
"It is 1908 and Smyrna is the most cosmopolitan city on the Mediterranean Sea. Though long a part of the Ottoman Empire, Smyrna has always been Greek, and its citizens honor the traditions of previous generations. The Demirigis and Melopoulos families are no different, and now Liana Demirigis will wed the only Melopoulos son, Vassili--a marriage arranged by her parents. After the wedding, Liana and Vassili build an idyllic life for themselves and their children outside of the city, safe from rising political tensions roiling the region and the world. But less than a decade later, the growing divisions between the Greeks and Turks threaten to boil over. When each country chooses a different side with the outbreak of the Great War, a hunger to reclaim Izmir consumes Greece. Suddenly Liana and her family, like thousands of others like them, are thrust into danger ... and many will not survive"-- Provided by publisher
