It was a Sunday night in 1944 when her husband left the little row house on Baltimore's Calvert Street, abandoning Pearl to raise their three children alone: Jenny, high-spirited and determined, nurturing to strangers but distant to those she loves; the older son, Cody, a wild and incorrigible youth possessed by the lure of power and money; and sweet, clumsy Ezra, Pearl's favorite, who never stops yearning for the perfect family that could never be his own.

Hardback. Condición: Very Good. "A lyrical, melancholy, and deeply moving story about the people we love and the places we long for. Aching and poignant." --Ava Reid, #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Study in Drowning On Stenland, there comes a time known as skeld season: one day, any woman on the island can wake with three black lines on her forehead, the mark of a skeld. Skeld season comes around without warning, and while each window of time lasts only three months, anyone a skeld turns to stone is very much dead. That's how Tess's mother killed Soren's parents. Maybe for this reason alone, Tess and Soren should not have fallen in love. Since the time her mother was a skeld, Tess has wanted to leave Stenland, to run from the windswept island, from her family and friends. She is unwilling to bear the responsibility of one day killing anyone, let alone someone she loves. Soren has been determined to stay, to live out his life in the place he knows as home, even if that life could be cut short during the latest skeld season. They cannot see eye to eye--and yet they cannot stay apart. She tries to come back for him. He tries to leave for her. But can your love for one person outweigh everything else combined? And how do you decide how much you're willing to risk, if it might mean destroying someone else in the process? Laura Robson has crafted a fascinating story about the choices we make, the responsibilities we carry, and the ambiguities of regret. Don't miss Laura Brooke Robson's next captivating novel, LOVE IS AN ALGORITHM, where a young couple's budding relationship becomes the ultimate modern experiment on artificial intelligence's impact on genuine connection and how to fall and stay in love in the digital age.…
