De roep van het verleden

Viac o knihe

"ISN'T IT TIME I KNEW THE TRUTH, MAMA?" Tucked away in a bureau drawer lay the necklace a Hungarian housewife had taken from the baby girl she named Kirstina and raised as her own. Born amid savage violence, Kristina would grow up in solid comfort, ignorant of her true heritage. A golden-haired beauty, she would be swept toward triumph in the glamoorous, competitive world of ballroom dancing, only to be brutally betrayed by a handsome young Baron and a nation in thrall to fascism. Freeing to France, she sought santuary in the old cheateau she would transform into Europe's grandest hotel. Kirstina had escaped, but the past would follow her lovely daughter,Ella, to America. And there, in another fabulous hotel, ChateauElla, the secrets of three generations would ignite and explode in a shattering climax of truth and desire.
