Aprašymas
A stranger's arrival stirs hidden passion and dark secrets in this simmering, sweeping debut love story.
'A passionate love story and a gripping mystery. Truly spellbinding' Amy Bloom, New York Times bestselling author of In Love
Vivienne Clairmont has been shaped by her family's orchard in Upstate New York - the sweet scent of apples, the lush wildflowers and humming beehives... and the graves of her mother, her childhood sweetheart, and her son, reminding her that in her life, love has always gone hand in hand with tragedy. So when she learns that the land might be in jeopardy, she can't bear the blow of another loss. Her husband, Russell, wants to sell, but Vivienne is desperate not to leave her home, nor can she risk the possible revelation of the secrets literally buried there.
When a mysterious young man, Ethan, turns up looking for work, and promising to help Vivienne save the orchard, she is instinctively drawn to him, not least because he reminds her of Arno, the boy who taught her what it meant to fall in love, and who died two decades ago, when they were teenagers. As Ethan ignites a spark in her that she hasn't felt for decades, Vivienne knows that any kind of future together means she will finally have to deal with both her crumbling marriage with Russell, as well as what really happened to Arno the summer she was seventeen.
'Into the Fragile Dark completely hypnotized me with its passionate mystery... this story proves how monumentally abiding first love can be' Amy Jo Burns, author of Wait for Me
