  • "Ein heisser Sommer und eine verhängnisvolle Affäre - einfühlsam und klug Eine herzzerreissende Affäre, ein ungelöster Mord und eine explosive Romanze - Willkommen auf dem sonnigen Cape Cod. Die junge Marcella lässt sich während eines Sommerurlaubs auf eine Affäre mit Cecil ein, einem verheirateten Familienvater. Das Verhältnis endet jedoch abrupt, als dessen Frau tot aufgefunden wird. Der Fall wird nie aufgeklärt, und Cecil stirbt kurz darauf bei einem Autounfall. Sieben Sommer später lebt Marcella, geschieden und alleine, noch immer auf Cape Cod. Womit sie nicht rechnet: Cecils erwachsener Sohn Jed kehrt zurück auf die Halbinsel und findet im ehemaligen Haus seiner Eltern verräterische Beweise für die Untreue seines Vaters. Eine aufregende Suche nach der Wahrheit beginnt. "Swimmingpool" ist ein brillanter und überaus sinnlicher Roman von grosser erzählerischer Kraft . Holly LeCraw, geboren und aufgewachsen in Atlanta, lebt mit ihrem Mann und drei Kindern etwas ausserhalb von Boston. Ihre Kurzgeschichten erschienen in verschiedenen Publikationen und waren bereits für den Pushcart Prize nominiert. 'Swimming Pool' ist ihr erster Roman."
