Slægtsromaner

Helga tvinger sin opmærksomhed tilbage til haven. En myre løber over hendes hånd, som hviler på stoleryggen. ”Hans Peter har lært mig så meget, han kunne. Jeg har tænkt mig at drive gården videre alene. Med Oskars hjælp.” ”Han er jo kun et barn,” siger hendes far og vender sig besværet om mod hende: ”Du skal ikke snyde ham for hans barndom, bare fordi du skal vise dig.” Året er 1910, og Helgas mand er lige død af tuberkulose. Han efterlader hende alene med en stor gård og fire små børn, og hvis hun skal holde sit løfte til ham om at overdrage gården til et af dem, kan hun aldrig gifte sig igen. Helgas vilje er stærk, men konsekvenserne er store. Et spørgsmål presser sig på, i takt med at årene går: er det rigtigt altid at holde, hvad man lover? I Helgas løfte giver forfatteren sin læser et psykologisk indblik i normer og mønstre på landet i Danmark i 1900-tallet. Normer, der skaber udfordringer for de kommende generationer.

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Women in the Castle comes a sweeping story of a nation on the rise, and one family's deeply complicated relationship to the resource that built their fortune and fueled their greatest tragedy, perfect for fans of The Dutch House and The Great Circle.The war is over, and America has entered a golden age: The Age of Oil.It's 1953, and for Nick Taylor, WWII veteran turned company lawyer, oil is the key to the future. He takes the train into the city for work and returns to the peaceful streets of the suburbs and to his wife, Bet, former codebreaker now housewife, and their two children, Katherine and Harry. Nick comes from humble origins but thanks to his work for American Oil, he can provide every comfort for his family, including Last House, a secluded country escape. Deep in the Vermont mountains, the Taylors are free from the stresses of modern life. Bet doesn't have to worry about the Russian H-bombs that haunt her dreams, and the children roam free in the woods. Last House is a place that could survive the end of the world.It's 1968, and America is on the brink of change. Protestors fill the streets to challenge everything from the Vietnam War to racism in the wake of MLK's shooting--to the country's reliance on Big Oil. As Katherine makes her first forays into adult life, she's caught up in the current of the time and struggles to reconcile her ideals with the stable and privileged childhood her Greatest Generation parents worked so hard to provide. But when the Movement shifts in a more radical direction, each member of the Taylor family will be forced to reckon with the consequences of the choices they've made for the causes they believed in.Spanning multiple generations and nearly eighty years, Last House tells the story of one American family during an age of grand ideals and even greater downfalls. Set against the backdrop of our nation's history, this is an emotional tour de force that digs deeply into questions of inheritance and what we owe each other--and captures to stunning effect the gravity of time, the double edge of progress, and the hubris of empire.
