    Hazel Wood: Wo alles beginnt
    • Alice fühlt sich seit jeher vom Unheil verfolgt. Ihr Leben ändert sich dramatisch, als ihre geheimnisvolle Großmutter, die Märchenerzählerin Althea Proserpine, stirbt und kurz darauf ihre Mutter verschwindet. Zurück bleibt eine kryptische Nachricht: „Halt dich fern von Hazel Wood“. Getrieben von dem Wunsch, ihre Mutter zu finden und ihre eigene Vergangenheit zu entschlüsseln, begibt sich Alice auf eine Reise in die Dunkelheit und zu den Wurzeln ihrer Familiengeschichte. Hazel Wood, der Ort, an dem alles begann und der eng mit den düsteren Märchen ihrer Großmutter verbunden ist, scheint der Schlüssel zu sein, um das Geheimnis zu lüften. Je näher Alice Hazel Wood kommt, desto mehr offenbart sich eine Welt, die ihre kühnsten Träume und schlimmsten Albträume übersteigt. Sie entdeckt eine unheimliche Wahrheit, die alles, was sie über sich und ihre Familie zu wissen glaubte, in Frage stellt. Die Grenzen zwischen Realität und Märchen verschwimmen, und Alice muss sich den dunklen Kräften stellen, die Hazel Wood beherrschen. Um ihre Mutter zu finden und sich selbst zu befreien, muss sie tiefer in diese magische und gefährliche Welt eintauchen, als sie je für möglich gehalten hätte. Die düstere und fesselnde Welt entführt in das Erbe dunkler Märchen und ungelöster Familiengeheimnisse. Die Geschichte entfaltet sich in den urbanen Schatten New Yorks und führt auf eine unvergessliche Reise an den Ursprung eines alten Fluchs. Meisterhaft

      Friend. Lover. Imposter. Who is Cate Kay? Reese's Bookclub January 2025 Pick A must-read book for 2025 in both Stylist and Cosmo 'A standout, multi-layered novel that will have you hooked' Sun * Cate Kay is the most famous author on the planet. But it's just a name. Somehow, despite her bestselling novels and the record-breaking film franchise, the writer has remained completely anonymous. Anne Marie Callahan is the name nobody knows. Only the people she left behind. And Annie knows there's no one there anymore who could connect the dots between the girl who ran away all those years ago and the famous novelist. If you asked, she'd say her name was Cass Ford. That's what her barista shouts each morning. And it's how she introduces herself to the woman she'll eventually call the love of her life. Three names, three lives. But Cate Kay is finally ready to tell you who she really is. And when the truth is out, will everyone's favourite novelist hold on to her place in our hearts or are some betrayals impossible to forgive? Kate Fagan is the author of several New York Times bestselling non fiction books. The Three Lives of Cate Kay explores the cost of ambition, the longings of first (and second and third) love, and how it's never too late to go home. * 'This story swept me away with its big dreams, love, and unexpected twists.' Reese Witherspoon 'Such clever and multilayered plotting from a highly original storyteller.'
