  • "Ce premier roman mêle les destins de deux femmes, marqués par l'aventure et la trahison. 1912 : à la mort de son père, Elsa se sépare de Max pour épouser l'anthropologue Edward Beazley, s'installer à l'île de Pâques et y faire des recherches. 1973 : Greer Farraday se rend aussi sur cette île, pour faire le point sur sa famille, son mariage avec un professeur touché par un scandale et son veuvage."
  • "Easter Island is the mysterious backdrop that connects the lives of two remarkable women. Elsa Pendleton is an Edwardian Englishwoman, forced into a marriage of convenience. The other is American botanist Greer Faraday, recently widowed and troubled by unhappy memories. As Greer is forced to confront some unwelcome truths, her story becomes irresistibly entwined with Elsa's."@en
  • "In 1973 raakt een Amerikaanse botaniste die op Paaseiland onderzoek doet, betrokken bij de geschiedenis van het eiland waarvan een antropologenechtpaar, dat er onderzoek deed in de jaren 1912-1914, ook deel uitmaakt."
  • "It is 1913. Elsa Pendleton travels from England to Easter Island with her husband, an anthropologist sent by the Royal Geographical Society to study the colossal moai statues, and her younger sister. What begins as familial duty for Elsa becomes a grand adventure; on Easter Island she discovers her true calling. But, out of contact with the outside world, she is unaware that World War I has been declared and that a German naval squadron, fleeing the British across the South Pacific, is heading toward the island she now considers home. Sixty years later, Dr. Greer Farraday, an American botanist, travels to Easter Island to research the island's ancient pollen, but more important, to put back the pieces of her life after the death of her husband. A series of brilliant revelations brings to life the parallel quests of these two intrepid young women as they delve into the centuries-old mysteries of Easter Island. Slowly unearthing the island's haunting past, they are forced to confront turbulent discoveries about themselves and the people they love, changing their lives forever."@en
