    • Kate will ihren Sohn und sich obsessiv vor allen Risiken schützen. Ist das paranoid oder berechtigt? Der raffinierte Psychothriller für Frauen. Kate Parker fühlt sich, als ob ein Fluch auf ihrem Leben liegt. Denn ihr ist schon viel Schlimmes passiert. Jetzt tut sie alles, um ihren Sohn Jack und sich vor Gefahren schützen – aber die Leute sagen, sie sei überängstlich und paranoid. Da lernt sie einen Oxford-Professor kennen, der ihr Hilfe verspricht. Aber seine Methoden sind ungewöhnlich. Wenn sie wieder Lebensfreude empfinden will, muss sie lernen, Risiken einzugehen. Kate versucht es. Als ein Nachbar immer mehr Interesse an ihr und ihrem Alltag zeigt, bleibt Kate cool und ignoriert sein aufdringliches Verhalten. Aber was, wenn in diesem Fall die Gefahr tatsächlich nah ist? Psychologisch brillant baut Louise Millar Spannung auf zwischen Kates Ängsten und dem Risiko, das sie nie hätte eingehen dürfen.

      A profoundly moving novel about two neighboring families in a suburban town, the friendship between their children, a tragedy that reverberates over four decades, and the power of forgiveness. Francis Gleeson and Brian Stanhope are two NYPD rookies assigned to the same Bronx precinct in 1973. They aren't close friends on the job, but end up living next door to each other outside the city. What goes on behind closed doors in both houses--the loneliness of Francis's wife, Lena, and the instability of Brian's wife, Anne, sets the stage for the stunning events to come. Ask Again, Yes by award-winning author Mary Beth Keane, is a beautifully moving exploration of the friendship and love that blossoms between Francis's youngest daughter, Kate, and Brian's son, Peter, who are born six months apart. In the spring of Kate and Peter's eighth grade year a violent event divides the neighbors, the Stanhopes are forced to move away, and the children are forbidden to have any further contact. But Kate and Peter find a way back to each other, and their relationship is tested by the echoes from their past. Ask Again, Yes reveals how the events of childhood look different when reexamined from the distance of adulthood--villains lose their menace, and those who appeared innocent seem less so. Kate and Peter's love story is marked by tenderness, generosity, and grace.
