Two years into Darragh O'Grady's new life as a crop duster in 1930s America, everything is changed when he spots an abandoned farm from the cockpit of his plane. Despite its reportedly tragic history he buys the house and land - and the dark lake at its heart - marries indomitable but damaged Beattie Darling, and sets about making a home. But will the O'Gradys' love for one another prove powerful enough to overcome the hardships of a life punctuated by loss, and can they escape the lake's mysterious legacies?

Ein tragisches Unglück, eine zerbrochene Familie – und Heilung von unerwarteter SeiteNach ihrer Scheidung zieht Grace zurück auf den elterlichen Bauernhof an der windgepeitschten Küste von Wales. Den harten Alltag bestreitet sie allein, ein Unfall auf See hat ihr vor vielen Jahren den Bruder genommen. Nur ein Ritual am Abend spendet Grace Ruhe und Trost: Wenn sie eine alte Tonaufnahme des Seewetterberichts auflegt, die ihren immer vergesslicher werdenden Vater jedes Mal aufs Neue in dem Glauben einschlafen lässt, das Meer sei ruhig und sein Sohn in Sicherheit. Als eines Tages eine junge Frau vor der Tür steht und behauptet, Graces Bruder sei tatsächlich noch am Leben, glaubt Grace ihr kein Wort. Doch ihr Vater lässt nicht ab von diesem Hoffnungsschimmer, und so machen die drei sich auf die Suche – eine Suche, auf der sich Grace auch ihrer eigenen schmerzhaften Geschichte stellen muss.

Tillfälligt slut
'A truly clever and heart racing depiction of the human condition. Assimilation asks what we all face at some junction in our lives - where do I belong? Where do I fit in?' - CONNOR ALLEN Charlotte, young and fiercely independent, leaves the constraints of her Parisian childhood for Wales, running away from a traumatic event. Hoping to find peace and somewhere to rebuild her life, she is confronted with a growing sense of fragmentation and soon unravels. Her mother, Marianne, well-travelled and with a colourful past, is keeping a terrible secret. She tries her best to conform her family to French middle class expectations when all at home is far from ordinary. Wilson, a Nigerian man with a ticket to a new life studying at a New York university, falls victim to the French immigration system and finds himself stranded in Paris awaiting a visa that never comes. A vivid and powerful novel exploring how travel, memory and family stories shape who we are. Set against the backdrop of significant political and humanitarian events, questioning how we see migration today. Assimilation is an important book for our time. 'Spanning continents and slipping between time, this sophisticated and affecting novel shows how the secrets of the past never quite disappear, casting long, long shadows over the present day.' - JON GOWER
