  • "Ein unvergessliches Buch über Liebe und Vergebung und das Verlangen, zu wissen, wer man ist New Hampshire, 1949: Ein fürchterlicher Hurrikan zieht über das Land hinweg. Die Menschen müssen ums Überleben kämpfen - und für eine lange Nacht wird das Leben aus all seinen gewohnten Bahnen geworfen. Neun Monate später kommen in einem kleinen Landkrankenhaus Ruth und Dana zur Welt, Hurrikankinder. Zwei Mädchen aus ganz unterschiedlichen Familien, und auch selbst so unterschiedlich wie Tag und Nacht. Früh trennen sich ihre Wege, und jede lebt ihr eigenes Leben voller Höhen und Tiefen, Liebe und Verzweiflung. Doch über Jahrzehnte hinweg führt das Schicksal sie immer wieder zueinander - bis ein lange gehütetes Geheimnis ihnen offenbart, wer sie wirklich füreinander sind ... Joyce Maynard war Reporterin bei der New York Times und arbeitet noch heute als freie Journalistin für verschiedene grosse Magazine. Ihre Kolumnen und Artikel erscheinen in zahlreichen US-Zeitschriften. Mit ihren Erinnerungen an die gemeinsame Zeit mit dem Schriftsteller J.D. Salinger schrieb sie einen internationalen Bestseller. Die Autorin ist Mutter dreier erwachsener Kinder und lebt in Kalifornien und Lake Atitlan, Guatemala."
  • "Ruth et Dana sont toutes les deux nées le même jour, au même endroit mais dans des familles à l'opposé. Ruth est une artiste, romantique et passionnée. Dana est une scientifique, réaliste. Leur parcours depuis les années 1950 raconte leur enfance et leur adolescence, des premières amours au mariage et à la maternité, jusqu'à la révélation d'un secret.--[Memento]."
  • "The bestselling author of Labor Day returns with a spellbinding novel about friendship, family secrets, and the strange twists of fate that shape our lives The Good Daughters They were born on the same day, in the same small New Hampshire hospital, into families that could hardly have been less alike. Ruth Plank is an artist and a romantic with a rich, passionate, imaginative life. The last of five girls born to a gentle, caring farmer and his stolid wife, she yearns to soar beyond the confines of the land that has been her family's birthright for generations. Dana Dickerson is a scientist and realist whose faith is firmly planted in the natural world. Raised by a pair of capricious drifters who waste their lives on failed dreams, she longs for stability and rootedness. Different in nearly every way, Ruth and Dana share a need to make sense of who they are and to find their places in a world in which neither has ever truly felt she belonged. They also share a love for Dana's wild and beautiful older brother, Ray, who will leave an indelible mark on both their hearts. Told in the alternating voices of Ruth and Dana, The Good Daughters follows these "birthday sisters" as they make their way from the 1950s to the present. Master storyteller Joyce Maynard chronicles the unlikely ways the two women's lives parallel and intersect'from childhood and adolescence to first loves, first sex, marriage, and parenthood; from the deaths of parents to divorce, the loss of home, and the loss of a beloved partner'until past secrets and forgotten memories unexpectedly come to light, forcing them to reevaluate themselves and each other. Moving from rural New Hampshire to a remote island in British Columbia to the '70s Boston art-school scene, The Good Daughters is an unforgettable story about the ties of home and family, the devastating force of love, the healing power of forgiveness, and the desire to know who we are."@en
