Franciaország, ​1939 Carriveau csendes kis falujában Vianne Mauriac férjétől, a frontra induló Antoine-tól búcsúzik. Nem hiszi, hogy a nácik megszállhatják Franciaországot, ám ez mégis bekövetkezik: menekülő franciák hordái érkeznek, teherautó-konvojok, tankok, az égboltot elsötétítik a repülőgépek, és bombák hullanak az ártatlan áldozatokra. Amikor egy német parancsnok rekvirálja a házát, Vianne a kislányával együtt rákényszerül, hogy egy fedél alatt éljen az ellenséggel. Élelem, pénz és remény nélkül, az egyre növekvő veszélyek közepette kénytelen egyik nehéz döntést hozni a másik után.

Miközben párizsiak ezrei menetelnek a háború ismeretlen borzalmai elől, Isabelle találkozik a partizán Gaëtannal, aki hisz abban, hogy a franciák az országhatárokon belül szembeszállhatnak a nácikkal, és szenvedélyesen egymásba habarodnak. Ám amikor a fiú elárulja, Isabelle csatlakozik az Ellenálláshoz, és többé hátra se néz: újra és újra az életét kockáztatja mások megmentéséért. Kristin Hannah érzékenyen tárja elénk hogyan harcoltak a második világháborúban a nők. A Fülemüle két nővér története, akiket tapasztalataik, ideáljaik, vérmérsékletük és körülményeik elválasztanak egymástól, és mindketten saját veszélyes útjukon indulnak el a túlélés, a szerelem és a szabadság felé a németek által megszállt, háborútól szétszabdalt Franciaországban. E szívszorító regény a lélek erejének és a nők állhatatosságának dicsérete. Olyan könyv, amely mindenkihez szól, és egy életre szóló élményt nyújt. A New York Times bestseller-listáján szereplő szerző, Kristin Hannah huszonkét regényt írt. Az ügyvédből lett írónő fiával és férjével az Egyesült Államok északnyugati partvidékén és Hawaiin él.

When tragedy strikes, Michael must face his darkest fear and fight a battle of his own---for everything that matters to his family. At once a profoundly honest look at modern marriage and a dramatic exploration of the toll war takes on an ordinary American family, Home Front is a story of love, loss, heroism, honor, and ultimately, hope.

Kristin Hannah - Firefly ​Lane
From ​the New York Times bestselling author of On Mystic Lake comes a powerful novel of love, loss, and the magic of friendship. . . . In the turbulent summer of 1974, Kate Mularkey has accepted her place at the bottom of the eighth-grade social food chain. Then, to her amazement, the “coolest girl in the world” moves in across the street and wants to be her friend. Tully Hart seems to have it all---beauty, brains, ambition. On the surface they are as opposite as two people can be: Kate, doomed to be forever uncool, with a loving family who mortifies her at every turn. Tully, steeped in glamour and mystery, but with a secret that is destroying her. They make a pact to be best friends forever; by summer’s end they’ve become TullyandKate. Inseparable. So begins Kristin Hannah’s magnificent new novel. Spanning more than three decades and playing out across the ever-changing face of the Pacific Northwest, Firefly Lane is the poignant, powerful story of two women and the friendship that becomes the bulkhead of their lives. From the beginning, Tully is desperate to prove her worth to the world. Abandoned by her mother at an early age, she longs to be loved unconditionally. In the glittering, big-hair era of the eighties, she looks to men to fill the void in her soul. But in the buttoned-down nineties, it is television news that captivates her. She will follow her own blind ambition to New York and around the globe, finding fame and success . . . and loneliness. Kate knows early on that her life will be nothing special. Throughout college, she pretends to be driven by a need for success, but all she really wants is to fall in love and have children and live an ordinary life. In her own quiet way, Kate is as driven as Tully. What she doesn’t know is how being a wife and mother will change her . . . how she’ll lose sight of who she once was, and what she once wanted. And how much she’ll envy her famous best friend. . . . For thirty years, Tully and Kate buoy each other through life, weathering the storms of friendship---jealousy, anger, hurt, resentment. They think they’ve survived it all until a single act of betrayal tears them apart . . . and puts their courage and friendship to the ultimate test. Firefly Lane is for anyone who ever drank Boone’s Farm apple wine while listening to Abba or Fleetwood Mac. More than a coming-of-age novel, it’s the story of a generation of women who were both blessed and cursed by choices. It’s about promises and secrets and betrayals. And ultimately, about the one person who really, truly knows you---and knows what has the power to hurt you . . . and heal you. Firefly Lane is a story you’ll never forget . . . one you’ll want to pass on to your best friend.

Kristin Hannah - Repülj ​messzire!
A ​Szentjánosbogár lányok további megindító története. Tizenévesként, a hetvenes években Tully Hart és Kate Mularkey elválaszthatatlanok voltak. Tully volt a sminkjével és nyakba akasztós felsőivel a legmenőbb lány az iskolában. A szemüveges Kate pedig, a bokalengő farmerével, a stréber kívülálló. Ám a véletlen és a körülmények összehozták őket, és évtizedeken át kitartottak egymás mellett. Így kezdődött Tully és Kate története. Barátnők mindörökre. De néha véget érnek a történetek, és lehetetlennek tűnik újrakezdeni őket. Most, évekkel később, Tully életét fenekestől felforgatta a gyász. Szeretné betartani a Kate-nek tett ígéretét – hogy Kate gyermekei számíthatnak rá–, de fogalma sincs, hogyan csinálja. Mit tud arról az arrogáns, ambiciózus Tully, aki soha nem volt házas, hogy mit jelent családhoz tartozni? Kate lánya, a tizenhat éves Marah Ryan ugyanolyan elveszett, mint Tully. A magányos és sebezhető lány megismerkedik egy fiatalemberrel, aki kézen fogja, és bevezeti az ő veszélyes, kétes világába. Tully anyja, Dorothy Hart megbízhatatlan asszony, számtalanszor elhagyta a gyermekét, és végül összetörte a szívét. Ám most Tullynak szüksége van rá. Dorothy még egyszer visszatér, kétségbeesetten keresi a második lehetőséget, hogy jó anya legyen. De szembe kell néznie a legsötétebb félelmeivel, és elárulni múltja rettenetes titkát – csak akkor lehet az az anya, akire sérült lányának szüksége van. Egy tragédia összehozza ezt a három gyászoló nőt, és felfedezőútra indítja őket. Mindhárman utat tévesztettek, és szükségük van egymásra – és talán egy csodára is, hogy átalakítsák az életüket, és újra higgyenek az életben. Mélyedj el! Kapcsolj ki! Légy jelen!

Kristin Hannah - The ​Nightingale
In ​love we find out who we want to be. In war we find out who we are. FRANCE, 1939 In the quiet village of Carriveau, Vianne Mauriac says goodbye to her husband, Antoine, as he heads for the Front. She doesn’t believe that the Nazis will invade France...but invade they do, in droves of marching soldiers, in caravans of trucks and tanks, in planes that fill the skies and drop bombs upon the innocent. When France is overrun, Vianne is forced to take an enemy into her house, and suddenly her every move is watched; her life and her child’s life is at constant risk. Without food or money or hope, as danger escalates around her, she must make one terrible choice after another. Vianne’s sister, Isabelle, is a rebellious eighteen-year-old girl, searching for purpose with all the reckless passion of youth. While thousands of Parisians march into the unknown terrors of war, she meets the compelling and mysterious Gäetan, a partisan who believes the French can fight the Nazis from within France, and she falls in love as only the young can...completely. When he betrays her, Isabelle races headlong into danger and joins the Resistance, never looking back or giving a thought to the real--and deadly--consequences. With courage, grace and powerful insight, bestselling author Kristin Hannah takes her talented pen to the epic panorama of WWII and illuminates an intimate part of history seldom seen: the women’s war. The Nightingale tells the stories of two sisters, separated by years and experience, by ideals, passion and circumstance, each embarking on her own dangerous path toward survival, love, and freedom in German-occupied, war-torn France--a heartbreakingly beautiful novel that celebrates the resilience of the human spirit and the durability of women. It is a novel for everyone, a novel for a lifetime.

Leni, fiica adolescentă a soților Ernt și Cora Allbright, prinsă în relația pasională și furtunoasă dintre părinții ei, îndrăznește să spere că un nou cămin în Alaska va aduce cu sine un viitor mai bun pentru familia sa. Mama ei va face orice pentru bărbatul pe care îl iubește, chiar dacă asta înseamnă să-l urmeze în necunoscut. La început, Alaska pare să fie răspunsul la problemele lor. Zilele lungi, însorite și generozitatea localnicilor suplinesc lipsa de experiență și de resurse a familiei. Dar, pe măsură ce se apropie iarna și întunericul coboară peste Alaska, familia începe să se destrame. Leni îl întâlnește însă pe Matthew, iar acesta – grijuliu, bun, curajos – o face să creadă în posibilitatea unei vieți mai bune… _Un nou început_ este o poveste îndrăzneață și emoționantă despre dragoste și pierdere, despre lupta pentru supraviețuire și sălbăticia care sălășluiește nu doar în natură, ci și în ființa umană. „Am adorat această carte și, mai mult decât atât, am devenit obsedată de ea. N-am putut să respir sau să mă mișc până nu am ajuns la final. Nu știu să fie vreo carte care să mă fi înfuriat, să mă fi entuziasmat sau să mă fi emoționat într-atât, adesea pe parcursul aceluiași capitol. Personajele sunt fragile și vulnerabile, puternice și naive, iar Hannah ne oferă o lecție magistrală despre felul în care dragostea ne poate salva și ne poate distruge.“ _Karen Swan_ „O adevărată epopee.“ _The Washington Post_ „Încântătoare.“ _The New York Times_

Kristin Hannah - Summer ​Island
NEW ​YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The author of the cherished bestseller On Mystic Lake returns with a poignant, funny, luminous novel about a mother and daughter--the complex ties that bind them, the past that separates them, and the healing that comes with forgiveness. Years ago, Nora Bridge walked out on her marriage and left her daughters behind. She has since become a famous radio talk-show host and newspaper columnist beloved for her moral advice. Her youngest daughter, Ruby, is a struggling comedienne who uses her famous mother as fuel for her bitter, cynical humor. When the tabloids unearth a scandalous secret from Nora's past, their estrangement suddenly becomes dramatic: Nora is injured in an accident and a glossy magazine offers Ruby a fortune to write a tell-all about her mother. Under false pretenses, Ruby returns home to take care of the woman she hasn't spoken to for almost a decade. Nora insists they retreat to Summer Island in the San Juans, to the lovely old house on the water where Ruby grew up, a place filled with childhood memories of love and joy and belonging. There Ruby is also reunited with her first love and his brother. Once, the three of them had been best friends, inseparable. Until the summer that Nora had left and everyone's hearts had been broken. . . . What began as an expose evolves, as Ruby writes, into an exploration of her family's past. Nora is not the woman Ruby has hated all these years. Witty, wise, and vulnerable, she is desperate to reconcile with her daughter. As the magazine deadline draws near and Ruby finishes what has begun to seem to her an act of brutal betrayal, she is forced to grow up and at last to look at her mother--and herself--through the eyes of a woman. And she must, finally, allow herself to love. Summer Island is a beautiful novel, funny, tender, sad, and ultimately triumphant.
