Price inside dustcover: $18.00 - This illuminating and delightful companion to the bestselling The Angel Book provides a more sophisticated, deeper look at our relationships with all the angels, while still maintaining the timeless and universal appeal of the first book.

Upon finding her mother's wedding dress, ten-year-old Thea was sure she had discovered a treasure. Trying the gown on, she easily envisioned the beautiful bride her mother must have been. But when her mother discovered her with the dress, the sight unleashed a shattering rage--the sting of her slap across Thea's face lasted a lifetime. Her mother's irrational anger, coupled with Thea's already strong feelings of disconnection with her father and only sister Mickey, caused Thea to feel like an outsider in her own family. Married to a non-Jewish man, unable to have children, and, her parents now dead, Thea acquires eight letters by her grandmother to her grandmother's sister written in Yiddish in the 1930s--just before and after Thea's parents' wedding. The cache of letters promises to answer some of Thea's life-long questions, but Mickey urges her not to have the letters translated. Trusting her own instincts, Thea has the letters deciphered and indeed begins to unravel the secrets of her own family. In the end, Thea faces sadness in her life, as well as the multitude of questions raised by these letters--questions about marriage, sisters, and what it means to belong.

220 x 140 mm Antal sidor: 480. De vita kycklingarnas långa kväll är en berättelse från två vitt skilda kulturer med handlingen förlagd dels till USA, där huvudpersonen Roger Graetz vuxit upp, dels till 1980-talets Guatemala, som pinas under militärdiktaturens tyranni. Det är berättelsen om Flor som kom till familjen Graetz i Boston som tjänsteflicka men upptogs i familjen, behandlades som en dotter och skickades till college. För Roger blev Flor mer än en syster: han blev besatt av henne. <br><br>Då Flor hittas mördad i Guatemala, där hon driver ett hem för föräldralösa barn, beger sig Roger dit för att finna sanningen bakom mordet.Han återförenas med sin barndomsvän Luis Moya, som under några intensiva veckor strax före hennes död var Flors älskare och nu plågas svårt av förträngda hemhgheter. Moya har en alldeles egen historia att berätta om Flor, och tillsammans börjar de båda männen gå igenom hennes liv för att lösa gåtan om den brutala död hon mötte. På ett oförglömligt, ibland avväpnande humoristiskt sätt, skildras den tysta desperationen hos Rogers något bisarra familj, men även magin och komplexiteten i ett Guatemala som sjuder under trycket av en grym militärregim.
