Beschreibung zu „Island of a Thousand Springs“

London, 1732: Nora Reed, the daughter of a merchant, falls hopelessly in love with her father's clerk, Simon. Despite their differing social class, the star-crossed lovers dream of a future on a tropical island - until tragedy strikes, and Nora must face a life without her soulmate. Hopeless, Nora enters a marriage of convenience with Elias Fortnam, a widower and sugar planter in Jamaica. Even without Simon, she is determined to somehow fulfill their tropical fantasy. But life in the Caribbean doesn't turn out as Nora had dreamt.

Nora is deeply shocked by the way plantation owners treat the slaves and decides to shake things up on her own sugar cane plantation - for the better. Surprisingly, her adult stepson Doug supports her in this endeavor when he arrives from Europe. However, his return also puts things into a state of turmoil - especially Nora's feelings.

Just as Nora seems to be settling into her role as lady of the house, one harrowing event rips everything from her but her life ...
A gripping tale of love and hate, trust and betrayal, and a thrilling destiny set against the pristine beaches and swaying palmtrees of the tropics.

-- For fans of Kathleen Grissom,THE KITCHEN HOUSE, Alex Haley, ROOTS: THE SAGA OF AN AMERICAN FAMILY, and Sue Monk Kidd, THE INVENTION OF WINGS.

Über Sarah Lark

Sarah Lark, autora super ventas alemana afincada en España, ha seducido a siete millones de lectores en más de veinte países con sus grandes sagas familiares ambientadas en parajes exóticos. Ampliamente imitada, Lark ha sabido crear y consolidar un nuevo género narrativo, el landscape, en que sus heroínas viven unos destinos marcados por la aventura, los viajes, el romanticismo y la historia. Con la Trilogía de la Nube Blanca (En el país de la nube blanca, La canción de los maoríes y El grito de la tierra), se encumbró a la categoría de best seller internacional, en un fenómeno de boca a boca sin precedentes. Le siguen la Saga del Caribe (La isla de las mil fuentes y Las olas del destino), ambientadas en Jamaica, y su siguiente trilogía neozelandesa, la Trilogía del Kauri, integrada por Hacia los mares de la libertad, A la sombra del árbol kauri y la presente novela.
