![]() - Ei tämänhetkisiä Keskustelu-viestiketjuja tästä kirjasta. Wat een prachtig verhaal over liefde, trouw, ontrouw, lijden en verdriet en alles wat daar tussen in zit. Het verhaal speelt zich af in 1970 in Parijs, Dublin, Genève en de Languedoc en in de Tweede wereldoorlog, op ongeveer de zelfde plekken. Het laat zien hoe ingewikkeld relaties in elkaar kunnen zetten en dat mensen op de meest aparte manieren toch verbonden kunnen zijn. Verder kan ik er niet veel over zeggen zonder te spoileren. ( ![]() To My Daughter In France. With these words added to his will, Richard Kirwan revealed to his both his family in Ireland and to a young woman in France that there had been a huge secret in his life, one that he waited until his death to expose. I admit I didn’t have very high expectations for this book and perhaps that is why I did enjoy it so much. Crammed with characters who revolve around each other, jumping back and forth in time from the 1940’s to 1970, the reader is soon caught up in this tragic love story, with all it’s implications. The parts of the book that depicted Paris during the German occupation and the resistance movement, made for some tense and exciting reading. When the book moved ahead to 1970, there were various settings from Dublin to Paris, as well as my favorite setting in the southern French wine country of Languedoc-Roussillon. To My Daughter in France by Barbara and Stephanie Keating was a sprawling family epic full of secrets and sacrifice, there were parts that I admit were a little overdone, but for me, at this time, the book worked. This is the type of book that is often described as a ’beach read’, one that is big, full of passion and intrigue, has a gripping story and is overall a thumping good read.

Dit brengt natuurlijk heel wat te weeg binnen de familie. aardig boek, ik houd van boeken die ik Frankrijk/Spanje spelen (sfeer) Bei der Testamentseröffnung von Richard Kirwan erfahren seine drei Kinder, dass sie eine Halbschwester, Solange, in Frankreich haben. Schockiert und verletzt, reagieren sie abweisend auf diese schwerwiegende Neuigkeit.

"And to my daughter in France ... I bequeath the remainder of my Estate."These words, read from the will of Irish academic Richard Kirwan, stun his grieving children. Across the channel, 24-year-old Solange de Valnay's perfectly ordered world is shattered. Is the man she calls "papa" not her father? Her mother is dead, and Solange resolves to spurn her Irish half-siblings. But the truth won't go away, and the Kirwan children and Solange must overcome their differences and confront the past. An extraordinary tale of doomed passion, of heroism during the second world war, of sacrifices made for love and for honour, reveals itself in ways that resonate to the present.TO MY DAUGHTER IN FRANCE- is a sweeping historical drama that moves between occupied Paris, the coast of Connemara and the vineyards of the Languedoc region of southern France in the 1970s.
