Produktbeschreibung
Stranger from Across the Sea is the new novel from acclaimed author Regina McBride. It's a thrilling mystery with a depth of sensation that verges on the supernatural. Stranger from Across the Sea examines the powerful relationships that occur between women, best friends, mothers and daughters, their joys and secrets, their longing and sometimes dangerous jealousy.  As a teenager, Violet O’Halloran spent a summer at a Catholic boarding school in Northern Ireland, emptied of all other students but one: Indira Sharma, a blind girl from India with an extraordinary story. The beautiful but ultimately catastrophic friendship that formed between the two girls would go on to haunt Violet for years.  A decade later, Violet meets an Irishman, Emmett Fitzroy, at a party in New York City and is swept into an intense romance that brings her back to Ireland. While there, she unearths the stunning answers to mysteries left unresolved when Indira vanished from her life.  Set in Northern Ireland at the height of the Troubles, Stranger from Across the Sea explores place, displacement, and exile and the ways in which the personal and the political are inseparable. At its heart, this is a story about a passionate friendship between two singular young women, one that transcends the limits of time and distance.
