Más información sobre el libro

Peninsula, the second novel from Tanya Ravenswater, is a beautifully told love story with a dark secret at its heart. Gillian and David, both returning to Northern Ireland for their own reasons, find themselves in neighboring holiday cottages, intent on avoiding involvement. However, life proves unpredictable, compelling them to confront unresolved issues from their pasts while navigating the challenges of the present. As they reconnect with the raw beauty of the countryside, they are driven to face inescapable truths about themselves and others, considering fresh possibilities for the future. This compelling narrative explores the complexities of solitude and togetherness, the dualities of family and community, and the power dynamics of healing and wounding. It delves into themes of dialogue and silence, broken bridges, and the potential for new connections. Peninsula lyrically evokes the landscape of Ireland, reflecting its 'terrible beauty' while acknowledging the darkness in human experience. At the same time, it celebrates the joys of being alive. Tanya Ravenswater, born in Northern Ireland and now residing in Cheshire, UK, is also the author of Jacques and a collection of short stories, as well as an award-winning poet.
