    Quando all'alba saremo vicini
    Finché le stelle saranno in cielo
    • È quasi sera, l'aria è tiepida e le sfavillanti luci della Quarantottesima strada si stanno accendendo una per una. A Kate sembra quasi che stiano indicando il percorso del suo cammino. Non le manca proprio niente per essere di nuovo felice: ama il suo lavoro di musicoterapeuta e, a casa, il suo compagno Dan la sta aspettando per portarla alla grande festa che ha organizzato per festeggiare il loro fidanzamento. Ma anche se non riesce a confessarlo nemmeno a sé stessa, Kate non ha ancora superato il dolore che si nasconde nel suo passato. Perché dodici anni prima l'uomo che amava più di tutti al mondo, Patrick, suo marito, se n'era andato, all'improvviso, proprio prima di confidarle un segreto che avrebbe cambiato per sempre la loro vita. Kate non è mai riuscita a scoprire di cosa si trattasse. Eppure adesso, quando tutto sembra lontano, Patrick inizia ad apparirle in sogno. È insieme a una bambina, e stanno cercando di dirle qualcosa. All'inizio Kate crede sia solo un incubo. Ma quando per caso conosce una bambina identica a quella del sogno, capisce di non potere più ignorare il passato. Perché negli occhi di quella ragazzina si nasconde una rivelazione sconvolgente, un segreto lontano, forse lo stesso che Patrick avrebbe voluto rivelarle anni prima. E che forse adesso può far guardare Kate al futuro con occhi nuovi. Occhi pieni di luce e gioia, come quelli che brillano di fronte a una nuova alba. Con il suo primo romanzo, Kristin Harmel si è affermata come una delle più grandi rivelazioni degli ultimi anni. Finché le stelle saranno in cielo è stato un successo mondiale senza paragoni ed è ancora fra i bestseller più venduti nelle classifiche italiane. Adesso Kristin Harmel torna con un nuovo attesissimo romanzo, Quando all'alba saremo vicini. Un libro emozionante e pieno di speranza che la conferma una scrittrice capace come nessun altro di leggere nel cuore umano. Un inno all'amore che supera ogni confine.

      "Emily thinks she's lost everything ... until a mysterious painting leads her to what she wants most in the world. The new novel from the author of international bestsellers The Sweetness of Forgetting and The Life Intended shows why her books are hailed as "engaging" (People), "absorbing" (Kirkus Reviews) and "enthralling" (Fresh Fiction). Emily Emerson is used to being alone; her dad ran out on the family when she was a just a kid, her mom died when she was seventeen, and her beloved grandmother has just passed away as well. But when she's laid off from her reporting job, she finds herself completely at sea ... until the day she receives a beautiful, haunting painting of a young woman standing at the edge of a sugarcane field under a violet sky. That woman is recognizable as her grandmother--and the painting arrived with no identification other than a handwritten note saying, "He always loved her." Emily is hungry for roots and family, so she begins to dig. And as she does, she uncovers a fascinating era in American history. Her trail leads her to the POW internment camps of Florida, where German prisoners worked for American farmers ... and sometimes fell in love with American women. But how does this all connect to the painting? The answer to that question will take Emily on a road that leads from the sweltering Everglades to Munich, Germany and back to the Atlanta art scene before she's done. Along the way, she finds herself tempted to tear down her carefully tended walls at last; she's seeing another side of her father, and a new angle on her painful family history. But she still has secrets, ones she's been keeping locked inside for years. Will this journey bring her the strength to confront them at last?"-- Provided by publisher
