A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

Hannah Richell instantly draws you into her story: powerful, real and memorable (Elizabeth Noble, author of Things I Want My Daugher to Know)

An engrossing and clever tale (Anita Shreve)

The past and present storylines are deftly woven and equally engrossing, while the atmosphere of unease builds and builds, and lingers way beyond the last page. Brilliant (Emylia Hall, author of The Book of Summers)

A compelling debut tale of infidelity, betrayal and tragedy that will have you turning the pages until the early hours (GRAZIA)

The writing is so vivid that we became completely lost in the Tide family's world (GOOD HOUSEKEEPING on Secrets of the Tides)

A compelling tale of grief and forgiveness (WOMAN AND HOME)

[An] ambitious, wide-ranging family saga (DAILY MAIL)

I held my breath from the first page to the very end. SECRETS OF THE TIDES is a masterpiece - a rich and intricate exploration of a family torn apart by tragedy. Du Maurier, Pilcher, Shreve - it is easy to make comparisons, yet it would be wrong to liken Hannah Richell to any other, her voice is so strong (Veronica Henry)

Assuredly written and impeccably structured, it excavates the emotional layers of family drama when something goes terribly wrong - think Jodi Picoult without the formulaic writing...Moving and darkly suspenseful (SYDNEY MORNING HERALD)

Not only does THE SHADOW YEAR have at its heart a clever surprising story, but it's also beautifully written. Author Hannah Richell paints a vivd, colourful picture of of the Peak District through her writing, but its the small details I loved most ... This powerful beautiful book will keep you guessing to the end. A must read! (FABULOUS / SUN ON SUNDAY)

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Still grieving the death of her prematurely delivered infant, Lila finds a welcome distraction in renovating a country house she's recently inherited. Surrounded by blueprints and plaster dust, though, she finds herself drawn into the story of a group of idealistic university grads from thirty years before, who'd thrown off the shackles of bourgeois city life to claim the cottage and rely only on each other on the land. But utopia-building can be fraught with unexpected peril, and when the fate of the group is left eerily unclear, Lila turns her attention to untangling a web of secrets to uncover the shocking truth of what happened that fateful year, in order to come to terms with her own loss and build a new future for herself.

Suspenseful and moving, with a deep secret at its heart, THE SHADOW YEAR is Hannah Richell's breakout book.
