About this listen
Grania regresa a su Irlanda natal dispuesta a empezar una nueva vida, pero un viejo y oscuro secreto familiar se interpone en su camino.
Una figura diminuta y descalza al borde del acantilado, una melena pelirroja que se mueve con las ráfagas de viento, un vestido blanco hasta los tobillos... Así es la niña la primera vez que Grania Ryan la ve. «Si le digo algo podría asustarse y caer, pero igualmente la podría arrastrar el viento», piensa. Grania se ha refugiado en casa de sus padres, en Irlanda, después de que la relación con su novio en Nueva York haya terminado. Allí entabla una íntima amistad con esa niña, Aurora Lisle, y su padre, viudo. Sin embargo, esta inesperada relación reaviva un profundo resentimiento entre las dos familias de cuyo origen nadie quiere hablar.
Reseña:
«Una fascinante y romántica novela sobre la recuperación de las riendas de la vida, la redención, las nuevas oportunidades y el amor perdido».

Story
Two little girls stand with their heads bowed in my living room. I’m told they’re my granddaughters. Daisy is nine, and Alice seven. Daisy is the spitting image of her mother. This is the first time I’ve met them since my daughter and I fell out after she married that waste of space, Vince. They’ve come to live with me because their mother — my daughter — was murdered. In her own home while they slept close by. I think Vince killed her. But the police can’t prove it. I’ve always known he was no good. He treated my daughter like dirt. I said he’d cheat on her — but she wouldn’t listen.

Who is Audrey Hoedemaker? It's a question her sister Maureen has heard more times than she can count, and she doesn't know what the short answer would be. Little sister, troubled teen, backpacker, musical theatre coach, con artist, childcare worker. Murderer. A tragic, traumatic childhood casts a long shadow on the Hoedemaker sisters. Maureen has worked hard to move beyond the violence of the past and build a good, honest life for herself. Audrey, however, just can't seem to do the same, careening from one state of chaos to another.

Lucas knows the perfect night entails just three things: video games, wine, and pad thai. Peanuts are a must! Other people? Not so much. Why complicate things when he’s happy alone? Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.

When Heather McKinley dreamed of becoming a doctor, she imagined curing sick kids and sporting pink stethoscopes. She never anticipated the sleepless nights, grueling exams, and endless labs. And she certainly never knew that her medical school earned the nickname Dead Med thanks to the tragic history of students overdosing on illegal drugs. But Heather would never consider doing anything like that. That is, until her longtime boyfriend dumps her, she finds herself failing anatomy, and her world starts to crumble.

Story
When Heather McKinley dreamed of becoming a doctor, she imagined curing sick kids and sporting pink stethoscopes. She never anticipated the sleepless nights, grueling exams, and endless labs. And she certainly never knew that her medical school earned the nickname Dead Med thanks to the tragic history of students overdosing on illegal drugs. But Heather would never consider doing anything like that. That is, until her longtime boyfriend dumps her, she finds herself failing anatomy, and her world starts to crumble.

Story
Johnnie Rico never really intended to join up—and definitely not the infantry. But now that he’s in the thick of it, trying to get through combat training harder than anything he could have imagined, he knows everyone in his unit is one bad move away from buying the farm in the interstellar war the Terran Federation is waging against the Arachnids. Because everyone in the Mobile Infantry fights. And if the training doesn’t kill you, the Bugs are more than ready to finish the job.

Magnífica!!!
Después del bloqueo lector y depresión post terminar las "Siete Hermanas" dije la volveré a leer y hasta ahora es que vuelvo a Lucinda y aunque al principio dije de que va esto, la encontré y dije si esta es la pluma que me encanta.
Si bien parte de la historia es predecible, si tiene detalles que te siguen manteniendo ahí, un poco de misterio e intriga, secretos familiares, perdida, amor, familia, intereses personales, etc.
Mis personajes favoritos sin duda son Aurora y Kathleen, su sabiduría, intuición, magía, hace que sus personalidades sean centradas.
Hay lugares de ensueño que me encataría conocer, te situa en fechas, lugares y momentos comprobables.
Me parece, simplemente genial.
Gracias por estas historías.
