Inhalt: Ihre 1. große Liebe, die sie vor langer Zeit während eines wunderbaren Sommers auf Zypern erlebte, ist für Helena Beaumont weit weg, als sie mit ihrem Mann und ihren Kindern auf die Insel zurückkehrt. Doch von Anfang an spürt sie, dass ihr und ihrer Familie an diesem Ort Gefahr droht ... Helena und ihre Familie reisen nach Zypern, um dort ihre Ferien zu verbringen. Viele Jahre sind vergangen, seit sie als 15-Jährige ihren Urlaub dort verbracht hat. Inzwischen, verheiratet mit William und 3-fache Mutter, hat sich viel in ihrem Leben getan. Dort angekommen wird Helena mit den Ereignissen ihrer Jugend und den Jahren danach konfrontiert. Statt eines unbeschwerten Sommers mit ihrer Familie erlebt sie Höhen und Tiefen, und endlich kommt die so lange verschwiegene Wahrheit über ihren 1. Sohn und dessen leiblichen Vater ans Licht. Doch dadurch droht ihre scheinbar heile Ehe zu zerbrechen und ihre Liebe zu William wird auf eine harte Probe gestellt. Der neue Roman der bekannten Autorin (vgl. zuletzt "Die sieben Schwestern", ID-A 12/15) spielt zwischen 2006 und 2016. Dieses Mal stehen keine historischen Ereignisse im Vordergrund. Der mitreißende Liebesroman wird durch Tagebucheinträge des Sohnes durchbrochen - stilistisch gut gelöst. In bewährter Sprache, vertrautem Cover und bekannter Länge ein Muss für Riley-Fans. Unbedingt allen Bibliotheken empfohlen (Hörbuch: ID-A 12/16).
