| Summary |
"¿Por qué el escritor de misterio más famoso del mundo desaparecería durante once días? ¿Qué hace que una mujer esté lo suficientemente desesperada como para destruir el matrimonio de otra mujer? ¿Qué tan profundamente puede una persona anhelar la venganza? En 1925, la señorita Nan O'Dea se infiltró en el rico y enrarecido mundo de la autora Agatha Christie y su marido, Archie. En todos los sentidos, ella se convirtió en parte de su vida, primero, ambos Christies. Entonces, solo Archie. Pronto, Nan se convirtió en la amante de Archie, atrayéndolo lejos de su devota esposa, desesperada por casarse con él. La trama de Nan no comenzó el día que conoció a Archie y Agatha. Comenzó décadas antes, en Irlanda, cuando Nan era una niña. Ella y el hombre que amaba eran una pareja desafortunada que estaba destinada a estar juntos, hasta que la Gran Guerra, una pandemia y secretos vergonzosos los separaron. Luego, actos de crueldad indescriptible los mantuvieron separados. ¿Qué lleva a alguien a asesinar? ¿Qué hará alguien en nombre del amor? ¿Qué tipo de crimen puede alguien nunca perdonar?" -- Publisher description. |

"Why would the world's most famous mystery writer disappear for eleven days? What makes a woman desperate enough to destroy another woman's marriage? How deeply can a person crave revenge? In 1925, Miss Nan O'Dea infiltrated the wealthy, rarefied world of author Agatha Christie and her husband, Archie. In every way, she became a part of their life--first, both Christies. Then, just Archie. Soon, Nan became Archie's mistress, luring him away from his devoted wife, desperate to marry him. Nan's plot didn't begin the day she met Archie and Agatha. It began decades before, in Ireland, when Nan was a young girl. She and the man she loved were a star-crossed couple who were destined to be together--until the Great War, a pandemic, and shameful secrets tore them apart. Then acts of unspeakable cruelty kept them separated. What drives someone to murder? What will someone do in the name of love? What kind of crime can someone never forgive? Nina de Gramont's brilliant, unforgettable novel explores these questions and more." -- Publisher description. |
