Eddie Grant is happy with her life and her work as a personal assistant to Dinah Lavender, one of the most famous and renowned romance authors in the business. But being a spectator to notoriety and glamour isn't as fulfilling as she once thought. Thankfully, Eddie has the perfect excuse for a vacation: Her hardworking younger sister, Barrett, is opening her gift shop on Memorial Day weekend, and could use all the help she can get. But going home to the beautiful island of Nantucket means facing the family's difficult past. Shortly after the death of Eddie and Barrett's brother, their mother left them and their father made the spontaneous decision to buy a small farm. Eddie stayed there for only a year before her family's grief threatened to consume her as well, and had been living in Manhattan ever since. Now that she is back, Eddie must face all she left behind: her father's increased eccentricities, which has led to a house bursting at the seams with books; her sister's resentment over Eddie's escape; and a past love connection, one that is still undeniable and complicated, all these years later. But the Grant sisters are nothing if not resilient and capable, opening a used bookstore in their father's abandoned barn to manage his hoarding, and navigating the discovery of a long-buried family secret that will change all of them forever"--

Helt alene på et sjællandsk næs ligger Næssekongens gård, Flintegården. Da hans eneste søn gifter sig med en bypige af ringe herkomst, skaber det røre på gården, og det er først, da den unge kvinde har præsteret at føde fem drenge – et par tvillinger og et hold trillinger – at ægteskabet for alvor godkendes. De fem drenge vokser op, men til forældrenes store skuffelse ønsker ingen af dem at følge slægtens gang og blive bønder. Den danske forfatter Lars Nielsen (1892-1963) debuterede i 1938 med bogen "Bo", og siden da er det blevet til over 60 romaner. Langt de fleste af Lars Nielsens bøger foregår i landdistrikter og følger slægters gang, men de har også ofte en udpræget psykologisk vinkel, der gør dem tidløse og relevante uanset hvilket miljø, de læses i. Udgivelsen er en storskrift-udgave til svagsynede i serien MAGNUMBØGER Lindhardt og Ringhof.
