Molly's Letter (A Tea Rose Story) - Jennifer Donnelly - Bog

New York Times bestselling and award-winning author Jennifer Donnelly returns to the unforgettable world of her beloved first novel, The Tea Rose.
It's the summer of 1891, New York City, in the early days of Fiona Finnegan's marriage to Nicholas Soames. Though their marriage is an unconventional one and the wounds of the past are not fully healed, the two best friends are happy together, consumed with chasing their dreams and building a better life for themselves and their loved ones.
When Fiona senses a quiet love blossoming between her widowed uncle, Michael Finnegan, and his neighbor, Mary Munro, she's thrilled and hopes that MIchael will soon propose to Mary.
But one night, at a family supper, a surprise announcement tears these hopes asunder.
Will Mary be lost to a determined suitor? Or will Fiona and Nick find a way to unite two souls who belong together but are held apart by grief, pride, and too many words left unspoken?
Molly's Letter is a love letter to family, friends, and the bonds that outlast loss, pain, and sometimes, even life itself.
Molly's Letter is the first in a series of novella-length stories written straight from the heart by Jennifer Donnelly for readers of her Tea Rose saga. Each one is inspired by - and set within - the epic world of The Tea Rose, The Winter Rose, and The Wild Rose.

Praise for The Rose Saga
The Tea Rose:
"Donnelly indulges in delightfully straightforward storytelling in this comfortably overstuffed novel...the novel's lively plotting, big cast of warmly drawn characters and long-deferred romantic denouement make this a ripping yarn."
Publisher's Weekly
"This is a splendid, heartwarming novel of pain, struggle, decency, triumph -- and just what we need in these times."
Frank McCourt, author of Angela's Ashes
"Steeped in melodrama, revenge and a maddeningly star-crossed romance, The Tea Rose is a fine yarn... Bottom line: Guilty pleasure."
People Magazine

The Winter Rose:
"Donnelly is a master of pacing and plot, with enough high points scattered throughout to keep your pulse racing..."
The Washington Post
"I loved this book. It is truly seductive, hard to put down, filled with mystery, secret passions, unique locations, and a most engaging heroine."
Barbara Taylor Bradford, author of A Woman Of Substance
"The Winter Rose confirms Donnelly's place among the elite writers of epic historical fiction...Lyrical and captivating, The Winter Rose is an astounding work that will speak to your heart."
The Strand Bookstore, New York City

The Wild Rose:
"This time around, Donnelly has leaned more toward Indiana Jones than Barbara Taylor Bradford, and the result is a perfect vacation read."
Booklist
"Enjoy the ride: 600-plus pages of romance, harrowing exploits, cinematic backdrops, cliffhangers, and plot twists."
