But in her attic, hidden in trunks, are keys to a turbulent past. As she and Vivian unpack her possessions and memories, Molly is about to discover that Vivian's story is a piece of America's tumultuous history: the tale of a young Irish immigrant, orphaned in New York City and put on a train to the Midwest with hundreds of other children whose destiny would be determined by luck and chance. As Molly digs deeper into this compelling coming of age story, she finds surprising parallels in her own experience as a Penobscot Indian - and Molly realizes that she has the power to help Vivian find answers to mysteries that have haunted her for her entire life.Rich in detail and epic in scope, Orphan Train is a powerful work of historical fiction about upheaval and resilience, second chances, unexpected friendships, and the secrets we carry that keep us from finding out who we are. 352 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Nobel Laureate and two-time Booker prize-winning author of Disgrace and The Life and Times of Michael K, J. M. Coetzee reimagines Daniel DeFoe's classic novel Robinson Crusoe in Foe. Published as a Penguin Essential for the first time. In an act of breathtaking imagination, J.M Coetzee radically reinvents the story of Robinson Crusoe.In the early eighteenth century, Susan Barton finds herself adrift from a mutinous ship and cast ashore on a remote desert island. There she finds shelter with its only other inhabitants: a man named Cruso and his tongueless slave, Friday. In time, she builds a life for herself as Cruso's companion and, eventually, his lover. At last they are rescued by a passing ship, but only she and Friday survive the journey back to London.Determined to have her story told, she pursues the eminent man of letters Daniel Foe in the hope that he will relate truthfully her memories to the world. But with Cruso dead, Friday incapable of speech and Foe himself intent on reshaping her narrative, Barton struggles to maintain her grip on the past, only to fall victim to the seduction of storytelling itself.Treacherous, elegant and unexpectedly moving, Foe remains one of the most exquisitely composed of this pre-eminent author's works.'A small miracle of a book. . . of marvellous intricacy and overwhelming power' Washington Post'A superb novel' The New York Times 157 pp. Englisch.…
