Nicola Harrison Knihy

Románový debut autorky se odehrává v roce 1938 na skalnatém ostrově Montauk u Long Islandu, kde není nic než moře, chudá rybářská vesnice a luxusní hotelový komplex postavený zkrachovalým podnikatelem Fisherem. Bohatý bankéř Harry ho zakoupí a jeho mladá manželka Beatrice se těší na léto plné vášně, které spolu stráví v této odlehlé krajině. Ale Harry má jiné plány – přes léto zůstane ve městě a hotel má sloužit k letnímu pobytu zhýčkaných paniček bohatých průmyslníků. Beatrice se mezi nimi necítí dobře, a tak se sbližuje s obyvateli vesnice a stále více je přitahována ke strážci majáku Thomasovi, který je pravým opakem jejího manžela. Beatrice zoufale touží po štěstí, i kdyby mělo být jen prchavé- to vše v době, kdy se Evropa a brzy s ní celý svět začínají řítit do propasti…
