Giới thiệu về sách điện tử này
Hannah Legare is in trouble. Despite marrying a wonderful man, she
struggles to stay faithful to him. Despite setting up a hugely
successful business venture, she can't quite focus on its growing
financial difficulties. Despite knowing that her husband has finally
decided he can no longer stay in their marriage, she believes that by
climbing up his balcony, fuelled by one cocktail too many, she can
somehow persuade him to take her back.
One three-storey fall
later, Hannah Legare is on her way back to reluctantly recuperate in her
childhood home, Charleston: a town full of memories, and the town where
she last saw her father.
On a warm April evening in 1985, Buzz
Legare - notoriously charming general practitioner and family man - went
on a routine fishing trip in the mouth of the Charleston harbor. Two
days later, his boat was found drifting, holding nothing but his fishing
pole and his waiting labrador retriever.
Now it is 2008, and the
family Buzz left behind is still reeling from his disappearance. His
son, Palmer, a veterinary surgeon, has crafted a seemingly perfect life
for himself. But although he has a loving partner and a fabulous, envied
home, Palmer feels frustratingly numb to it all. Buzz's wife, the
(well) re-married Daisy, despite having much to say about her childrens'
lives, is almost pathological about keeping her own feelings under lock
and key, and then there is Hannah, whose return to Charleston and whose
attempts to solve the mysteries of the past stir up a hornets' nest of
secrets and emotion.
