Series Distante
Libro 1
1851, Irlanda.
Dopo aver sopportato per anni una devastante carestia di patate, Ellen Kittrick può dirsi una vera sopravvissuta. La perdita dei raccolti e la lenta discesa in uno stato di estrema povertà la trasformano dalla felice moglie e madre di famiglia che era una volta in una donna che fatica a tenere in vita i propri figli.
Per mettere del cibo in tavola e impedire ai procuratori del suo proprietario terriero di demolire il cottage in cui vive a causa delle rate d'affitto non onorate, Ellen si oppone al volere della sua famiglia e inizia a lavorare nella tenuta di proprietà di un uomo inglese. Ma con suo marito disoccupato e un cognato dal fare misterioso che la vuole tutta per sé, Ellen si ritrova a dover affrontare ogni sfida con rinnovata forza.
Una moltitudine di tragici eventi che le si pongono lungo il cammino la costringono a prendere un'importante decisione.
Con il sostegno di un'insospettabile fonte, il britannico Rafe Hamilton, Ellen lascia l'Irlanda, insieme a ciò che rimane della sua famiglia, per ricominciare d'accapo in un nuovo Paese.
Ma riuscirà la colonia a regalarle quel senso di sicurezza e gioia a cui aspira, specialmente ora che ha dovuto lasciarsi il cuore alle spalle?
Riuscirà Ellen a trovare la felicità in una terra straniera?
O ha forse commesso il più grande errore della sua vita?


About the author










Author of over thirty-five novels, AnneMarie Brear has crafted sweeping historical fiction with atmosphere, emotion, and drama aplenty that will surely satisfy any fan of the genre. AnneMarie was born in a small town in N.S.W. Australia, to English parents from Yorkshire, and is the youngest of five children. From an early age she loved reading, working her way through the Enid Blyton stories, before moving onto Catherine Cookson's novels as a teenager. Living in England during the 1980s and more recently, AnneMarie developed a love of history from visiting grand old English houses and this grew into a fascination with what may have happened behind their walls over their long existence. Her enjoyment of visiting old country estates and castles when travelling and, her interest in genealogy and researching her family tree, has been put to good use, providing backgrounds and names for her historical novels which are mainly set in Yorkshire or Australia between Victorian times and WWII. A long and winding road to publication led to her first novel being published in 2006. She has now published over thirty-five historical family saga novels, becoming an Amazon best seller and with her novel, The Slum Angel, winning a gold medal at the USA Reader's Favourite International Awards. Two of her books have been nominated for the Romance Writer's Australia Ruby Award and the USA In'dtale Magazine Rone award and recently she has been nominated twice as a finalist for the UK RNA RONA Awards.AnneMarie now lives in the Southern Highlands of N.S.W. Australia
