Krátky popis
Before anyone else is awake, on a perfect August morning, Elle
Bishop heads out for a swim in the glorious freshwater pond below
'The Paper Palace' -- the gently decaying summer camp in the back
woods of Cape Cod where her family has spent every summer for
generations. As she passes the house, Elle glances through the
screen porch at the uncleared table from the dinner the previous
evening, empty wine glasses, candle wax on the tablecloth, echoes
of laughter of family and friends. Then she dives beneath the
surface of the freezing water to the shocking memory of the sudden
passionate encounter she had the night before, up against the wall
behind the house, as her husband and mother chatted to the guests
inside.So begins a story that unfolds over twenty-four hours and
across fifty years, as decades of family legacies, love, lies,
secrets, and one unspeakable incident in her childhood lead Elle to
the precipice of a life-changing decision.Over the next twenty-four
hours, Elle will have to decide between the world she has made with
her much-loved husband, Peter, and the life she imagined would be
hers with her childhood love, Jonas, if a tragic event hadn't
forever changed the course of their lives.Tender yet devastating,
The Paper Palace is a masterful novel that brilliantly illuminates
the tensions between desire and safety, the legacy of tragedy, and
the crimes and misdemeanours of families.
