Een luxe hotelopening die uit de hand loopt. Oude vrienden die vijanden worden. Een midzomerfeest dat niemand zal vergeten... Het is midzomer aan de Engelse kust. In de koele schaduw van een oeroud bos verzamelen de gasten zich voor het openingsweekend van het nieuwe luxe hotel The Manor. De opulent gedekte tafel buigt onder heerlijke gerechten en de champagne stroomt rijkelijk, terwijl de zon in de zee zakt en een onvergetelijk feest voorbereidt. Maar al snel verstoren jongeren uit het dorp het feest; het ongenoegen van de dorpsbewoners groeit, die het hotelterrein voor zichzelf opeisen. Het feest escaleert. Ware identiteiten worden onthuld en geheimen komen aan het licht. Vijandigheden die onder het mom van oude vriendschap verborgen waren, komen naar boven. Nog voordat de nacht ten einde is, staat het gebouw in lichterlaaie, en de volgende ochtend wordt er een lichaam gevonden aan de steile kliffen. Iets duisters heeft zich onder de midzommersonne gemanifesteerd...

The novel follows a a tight-knit group of Oxford university alumni as they celebrate New Year’s Eve in the wilderness of the Loch Corrin Estate in Scotland. A HarperFiction spokesperson said: “In these wild, white climes the group reminisce, go deer stalking, and hide friendship-destroying secrets, secrets that set a razor-sharp sequence of events in motion, culminating with a broken body in the snow.”

Istanbul, 1921: Die ehemals schillernde Metropole des Osmanischen Reiches ist durch Krieg und Besatzung durch die Alliierten nur noch ein Schatten ihrer selbst. Viele der Bewohner haben ihr Zuhause verloren, unter ihnen eine junge Frau namens Nur, die einst wohlbehütet in einer intellektuellen Familie aufgewachsen ist, fließend Englisch spricht und sich am liebsten an die herrlich trägen Sommer in ihrem Haus am Bosporus erinnert. Inzwischen lebt sie mit ihrer Mutter und Großmutter in einer kleinen Wohnung und schlägt sich mit Näharbeiten durch. Als sie eines Tages einen verwaisten Jungen in einem ausgebrannten Haus findet, nimmt sie ihn zu sich, und als er hohes Fieber bekommt, bringt sie ihn in ein englisches Militärkrankenhaus. Dort nimmt sich einer der Ärzte, George, aufopferungsvoll des Kindes an, und so sehr Nur ihn, den Engländer, und also einer der feindlichen Besatzer, auch verachtet – nach und nach entspinnen sich zarte Bande zwischen den beiden … Eine stolze, unbeugsame Frau. Ein Junge, der alles verloren hat. Ein Mann, der ihnen den Glauben an Mitgefühl und Liebe zurückgibt. Lucy Foleys neuer Roman atmet die vibrierende Atmosphäre einer Metropole im Umbruch und erzählt von einer Liebe über alle Grenzen hinweg.
