De Daniel Pitt Triliogie Reeks

Deze trilogie speelt zich af in de turbulente jaren rond de eeuwwisseling, waarin jonge individuen persoonlijke drama's beleven te midden van de dreigende schaduw van een wereldomvattend conflict. Het volgt de lotsbestemmingen van families, wiens ervaringen gekenmerkt worden door liefde, verlies en de zoektocht naar geluk in buitengewoon uitdagende tijden. De verhalen onderzoeken de kwetsbaarheid van menselijke verbindingen en de veerkracht die nodig is om zelfs na immense verwoestingen een nieuwe toekomst op te bouwen. Dit is een aangrijpend verhaal over volwassen worden en een blijvende geest tegen de achtergrond van ingrijpende historische veranderingen.

    A return to the epic romance, heroism, history and warm and eccentric cast of characters that made CAPTAIN CORELLI'S MANDOLIN such an extraordinary hit (2.5 million copies sold). In the brief golden years before the outbreak of World War I, Rosie McCosh and her three very different sisters are growing up in an eccentric household in Kent, with their neighbours the Pitt boys on one side and the Pendennis boys on the other. But their days of childhood adventure are shadowed by the approach of the conflict that will engulf them on the cusp of adulthood. When the boys end up scattered along the Western Front, Rosie is left confused by her love for two young men - one an infantry soldier and one a flying ace. Can she, and her sisters, build new lives out of the opportunities and devastations that follow the Great War?

    Rosie and Daniel have moved to Ceylon with their little daughter to start a new life at the dawn of the 1920s, attempting to put the trauma of the First World War behind them, and to rekindle a marriage that gets colder every day. However, even in the lush plantation hills it is hard for them to escape the ties of home and the yearning for fulfilment that threatens their marriage. Back in England, Rosie's three sisters are dealing with different challenges in their searches for family, purpose and happiness. These are precarious times, and they find themselves using unconventional means to achieve their desires. Around them the world is changing, and when Daniel finds himself in Germany he witnesses events taking a dark and forbidding turn.
