A forbidden love, a life-long secret, and one chance to make the right decision.
Isabel Wolffová vo svojich desiatich celosvetovo vydaných románoch skúma hlboké ľudské príbehy, často zasadené do kontrastných časových a geografických období. Jej štýl sa vyznačuje prepracovanými postavami a pútavým rozprávaním, ktoré čitateľa vtiahne do víru emócií a udalostí. Zameriava sa na témy ako láska, strata a hľadanie identity, pričom jej diela oslovujú čitateľov po celom svete. Wolffová dokáže majstrovsky prepojiť minulosť s prítomnosťou a odhaliť univerzálne pravdy o ľudskej povahe.

But just as she lets her guard down, her own past reappears and Miranda must come to terms with the fact that she hasn't always been as sweet as she'd like to believe
