The Lantern
by Deborah LawrensonA modern gothic novel of love, secrets, and murder-set against the lush backdrop of Provence Meeting Dom was the most incredible thing that had ever happened to me. When Eve falls for the secretive, charming Dom in Switzerland, their whirlwind relationship leads them to Les GenÉvriers, an abandoned house set among the fragrant lavender fields of the South of France. Each enchanting day delivers happy discoveries: hidden chambers, secret vaults, a beautiful wrought-iron lantern. Deeply in love and surrounded by music, books, and the heady summer scents of the French countryside, Eve has never felt more alive. But with autumn's arrival the days begin to cool, and so, too, does Dom. Though Eve knows he bears the emotional scars of a failed marriage-one he refuses to talk about-his silence arouses suspicion and uncertainty. The more reticent Dom is to explain, the more Eve becomes obsessed with finding answers-and with unraveling the mystery of his absent, beautiful ex-wife, Rachel. Like its owner, Les GenÉvriers is also changing. Bright, warm rooms have turned cold and uninviting; shadows now fall unexpectedly; and Eve senses a presence moving through the garden. Is it a ghost from the past or a manifestation of her current troubles with Dom? Can she trust Dom, or could her life be in danger? Eve does not know that Les GenÉvriers has been haunted before. BÉnÉdicte Lincel, the house's former owner, thrived as a young girl within the rich elements of the landscape: the violets hidden in the woodland, the warm wind through the almond trees. She knew the bitter taste of heartbreak and tragedy-long-buried family secrets and evil deeds that, once unearthed, will hold shocking and unexpected consequences for Eve.

Des d'allà, la Laurel fantasieja sobre un noi anomenat Billy, una fugida a Londres i un futur esplèndid que ella espera amb ànsia. Però res és tan senzill, abans que aquella tarda idíl·lica s'acabi, la Laurel serà testimoni d'un crim aterridor que ho canviarà tot. 2011Convertida ja en una actriu cèlebre, la Laurel viu envoltada de les ombres del seu passat. Els records i el misteri del que va veure aquell dia, l'assetgen de tal manera que torna a la casa familiar per començar a desxifrar cada racó de la seva memòria a la recerca de la veritable història. Una història de tres desconeguts amb uns orígens molt diferents (Dorothy, Vivien i Jimmy) que coincideixen en el Londres dels anys de la Segona Guerra Mundial, i les vides dels quals quedaran unides de forma funesta i inexorable. Alternant els anys trenta, els cinquanta i el present, L'aniversari secret és un relat fascinant de misteris i silencis, falsedats i enganys, d'un assassinat i d'un amor indestructible. Ressenyes:«Un enigmàtic drama familiar en el qual s'exploren els secrets de joventut d'una mare, que ressorgeixen d'una manera impressionant quan la seva filla és testimoni d'un crim inesperat.

Amb voltes i sorpreses constants, la novel·la ens transporta a través de diferents èpoques mentre assistim a una successió d'episodis marcats per l'odi, la venjança, les obsessions, la passió, els malentesos, les traïcions, la tragèdia i, per sobre de tot, els capricis del destí.»Bloc Me gustan los libros «A través d'una prosa intensa, dinàmica, neta, extremadament cuidada i molt visual, L'aniversari secret s'endinsa en aquesta zona fosca de l'ésser humà on s'amaguen les pors i les ambicions que porten a comportaments inexplicables, de vegades extrems. Una història de segones oportunitats amb la que Morton aconsegueix indagar en aquesta capacitat que té la memòria per jugar amb un mateix fins a enganyar-lo.»Todoliteratura.es
