‘Maybe it shouldn’t surprise me that August became a writer. He’d told me all kinds of stories – ‘I love you’ for one …’ Switzerland, 1926. Helen Fox lives a secluded life at the American Library of Geneva, passing her days cataloguing books left as bequests and combing through their pages to glean details about their deceased owners. It’s a quiet existence, but it’s work she loves.That is, until Helen receives a mysterious package containing the first chapter of a novel written by August Hegland – an ex-soldier turned writer and the man she once loved. Though he claims his new book is fiction, Helen immediately recognises herself in his story … along with the threat simmering in the ink: that August may expose the truth of her colourful wartime past. But just how much does August intend to reveal? And what will happen to Helen if the answer is everything?The Library of Leaving is a gripping historical mystery, a sweeping story of love and betrayal, and a poignant meditation on how the stories we tell can reveal – or rewrite – the truth of a life.

Alle reden über Teddy.Es ist der Sommer 1969, Rom ist heiß und aufregend, voller Glamour und Intrigen. Teddy Carlyle ist mit ihrem neuen Ehemann, der in der amerikanischen Botschaft arbeitet, nach Italien gekommen. Nach einigen Jahren mit schlechten Männern und schlechten Entscheidungen will sie nun ein neues Leben beginnen. Sie schwört sich, eine gute Diplomatengattin zu sein: glamourös, diskret, perfekt gekleidet und unerbittlich höflich. Teddy gelingt es zunächst gut, sie schließt neue Bekanntschaften auf Partys und Empfängen, ist glücklich mit ihrer kleinen Tätigkeit in der Botschaft. Doch nach nur wenigen Wochen, am 4. Juli, explodiert ihr neues Leben zusammen mit dem Feuerwerk am Himmel. Ein Fotograf schießt ein kompromittierendes Bild von ihr und dem amerikanischen Botschafter, nur wenige Augenblicke nachdem sie einen Mann aus der dunkelsten Ecke ihrer Vergangenheit auf der anderen Seite des Raumes gesehen hat. Beides Beweise für ihre Verkommenheit und Grund genug für ihre Familie, sie aus dem Verkehr zu ziehen – wie einst ihre lebensfrohe Tante Sister. In all diesem Chaos fasst Teddy einen Entschluss: Sisters Schicksal wird nicht ihr eigenes sein!
