Sarah Shoemaker Knihy
Sarah Shoemakerová se na základní škole rozhodla, že se stane spisovatelkou, a po dlouhé a klikaté cestě, která zahrnovala povolání učitelky, manželky, matky v domácnosti a knihovnice, se jí to konečně podařilo. Její díla zkoumají složité postavy a vztahy, přičemž se ponořuje do hlubin lidské psychiky. Shoemakerová má talent pro oživování známých literárních postav a prozkoumávání jejich vnitřního světa novým a poutavým způsobem. Její psaní je oslavou síly vyprávění příběhů a hledání pochopení v literatuře.
"It is 1908 and Smyrna is the most cosmopolitan city on the Mediterranean Sea. Though long a part of the Ottoman Empire, Smyrna has always been Greek, and its citizens honor the traditions of previous generations. The Demirigis and Melopoulos families are no different, and now Liana Demirigis will wed the only Melopoulos son, Vassili--a marriage arranged by her parents. After the wedding, Liana and Vassili build an idyllic life for themselves and their children outside of the city, safe from rising political tensions roiling the region and the world. But less than a decade later, the growing divisions between the Greeks and Turks threaten to boil over. When each country chooses a different side with the outbreak of the Great War, a hunger to reclaim Izmir consumes Greece. Suddenly Liana and her family, like thousands of others like them, are thrust into danger ... and many will not survive"-- Provided by publisher
