Grand Duchess Olga Romanov comes of age amid a shifting tide for the great dynasties of Europe. But even as unrest simmers in the capital, Olga is content to live within the confines of the sheltered life her parents have built for her and her three sisters: hiding from the world on account of their mother's ill health, their brother Alexei's secret affliction, and rising controversy over Father Grigori Rasputin, the priest on whom the tsarina has come to rely. Olga's only escape from the seclusion of Alexander Palace comes from the grand tea parties her aunt hosts amid the shadow court of Saint Petersburg - a world of opulent ballrooms, scandalous flirtation, and whispered conversation. But as war approaches, the palaces of Russia are transformed. Olga and her sisters trade their gowns for nursing habits, assisting in surgeries and tending to the wounded bodies and minds of Russia's military officers. As troubling rumors about her parents trickle in from the front, Olga dares to hope that a budding romance might survive whatever the future may hold. But when tensions run high and supplies run low, the controversy over Rasputin grows into fiery protest, and calls for revolution threaten to end 300 years of Romanov rule

Luke Richardson has returned home after burying Natalie, his beloved wife of sixteen years, ready to face the hard job of raising their three children alone. But there's something he's not prepared for--a blue envelope with his name scrawled across the front in Natalie's handwriting, waiting for him on the floor of their suburban Michigan home. The letter inside, written on the first day of Natalie's cancer treatment a year ago, turns out to be the first of many. Luke is convinced they're genuine, but who is delivering them? As his obsession with the letters grows, Luke uncovers long-buried secrets that make him question everything he knew about his wife and their family.

"Amsterdam, May 1943. As the tulips bloom and the Nazis tighten their grip across the city, the last signs of Dutch resistance are being swept away. Marijke de Graaf and her husband are arrested and deported to different concentration camps in Germany. Marijke is given a terrible choice: to suffer a slow death in the labour camp or - for a chance at survival - to join the camp brothel. On the other side of the barbed wire, SS officer Karl Muller arrives at the camp hoping to live up to his father's expectations of wartime glory. But faced with a brutal routine of overseeing executions and punishments, he longs for an escape. When he encounters the newly arrived Marijke, this meeting changes their lives forever. Woven into the narrative across space and time is Luciano Wagner's ordeal in 1977 Buenos Aires, during the heat of the Argentine Dirty War. In his struggle to endure military captivity, he searches for ways to resist from a prison cell he may never leave. From the Netherlands to Germany to Argentina, The Dutch Wife braids together the stories of three individuals who share a dark secret and are entangled in two of the most oppressive reigns of terror in modern history. This is a novel about the blurred lines between love and lust, abuse and resistance, and right and wrong, as well as the capacity for ordinary people to persevere and do the unthinkable in extraordinary circumstances"--Provided by publisher

Napíšte zoznam všetkých vecí, ktoré považujete za dôležité pre svoj život. Požiadavka je na prvý pohľad čudná, dokonca vtieravá ? a pre dve ženy, ktoré ju splnia, bude mať zničujúce dôsledky. EMMA Emma si po traumatickom rozchode hľadá nový byt, ale tie, ktoré jej realitní agenti ukážu, si buď nemôže dovoliť, alebo sa v nich necíti bezpečne. Jej predstavám vyhovie až dom na Folgate Street 1. Tento architektonický skvost zo svetlého kameňa má minimalistický dizajn, obrovské okná a vysokánske stropy či najmodernejšiu elektroniku. Nájomníčka však musí dodržiavať zvláštne pravidlá. Tajomný architekt, ktorý dom navrhol, si ponecháva úplnú kontrolu: nijaké knihy, nijaké ozdobné vankúše, nijaké fotografie alebo rušivé osobné predmety. Dom je navrhnutý tak, aby zmenil svojho obyvateľa ? a to sa mu aj podarí. JANE Jane po osobnej tragédii potrebuje nový začiatok. Keď jej ponúknu na prenájom dom na Folgate Street 1, okamžite ju zaujme pôsobivý priestor aj jeho odmeraný, ale príťažlivý tvorca a majiteľ. Jane sa do domu nasťahuje a čoskoro sa dozvie o predčasnej smrti predchádzajúcej nájomníčky, ktorá sa na ňu vekom aj vzhľadom dosť podobala. Keď sa Jane usiluje rozmotať klbko lží a zistiť pravdu, nevedomky sa správa podľa rovnakého vzorca, prijíma rovnaké rozhodnutia, stretáva sa s rovnakými ľuďmi a prežíva rovnaké hrôzy ako ona. Je však oveľa silnejšia ako nešťastná Emma. ASTRID Ďalšia žena na prenájom?
