10.49 €
Najnovšia kniha Louisa de Berniéra je voľným pokračovaním románu Prach, čo padá zo snov, o osudoch detí spriatelených rodín McCoshovcov a Pittovcov z anglického vidieka. Začiatkom dvadsiatych rokov 20. storočia Daniel odíde s Rosie a ich malou dcérkou na Cejlón, kde chcú začať nový život a zabudnúť na traumy vojny. No ani tu v pozemskom raji uprostred čajových plantáží sa nedokážu zbaviť pút, ktoré ich spájajú s domovom, a rozdielnych predstáv o plnohodnotnom živote. Aj Rosiným trom sestrám, ktoré zostali doma v Anglicku, stoja v ceste za šťastím mnohé prekážky a v neľahkej dobe hľadajú spôsob, neraz aj veľmi nekonvenčný, ako naplniť svoje túžby.
