Giugno 2015: anteprima Daughter of Deep Silence by Carrie Ryan

Qualche tempo fa lessi un libro molto particolare che ho adorato - uno dei primi post apocalittici della mia carriera - che si intitolava " La foresta degli amori perduti" (Fanucci). Sì, dal titolo sembra tutto meno che post apocalittico, in realtà non è poi così romantico come allude il titolo italiano, tant'è che l'originale era "The Forest of Hands and Theeth" (La foresta delle mani e dei denti, ndr): venature horror e fantascientifiche fanno da contraltare ad una storia particolare, la prima di una trilogia (mai terminata in Italia, sigh). Comunque, incrociamo le dite: i diritti del libro sono stati venduti per la trasposizione cinematografica, magari prima o poi pubblicheranno in italia anche i seguiti!

Ebbene, ho appena scoperto che il 2 giugno 2015 uscirà negli USA il nuovo romanzo dell'autrice, Carrie Ryan, dal titolo Daughter of Deep Silence, un libro che mi incuriosisce moltissimo, a partire - guarda caso - dalla cover. Ecco tutte le info in mio possesso... (sperando di poterlo leggere presto e dirvi più nel dettaglio il contenuto).

A delicious tale of revenge and identity from Carrie Ryan, the bestselling author of The Forest of Hands and Teeth

In the wake of the deadly devastation of luxury yacht Persephone, just three souls remain to tell its storyand two of them are lying. Only Frances Mace, rescued from the ocean after torturous days adrift with her dying friend Libby, knows that the Persephone wasn't sunk by a rogue wave as survivors Senator Wells and his son are claimingit was attacked.

To ensure her safety from the obviously dangerous and very powerful Wells family, Libby's father helps newly orphaned Frances assume Libby's identity. Frances has spent years in hiding, transforming herself into Libby, and she can no longer allow the people who murdered her entire family and Libby to get away with it. After years of careful plotting, she's ready to set her revenge plans into motioneven if it means taking down the boy she'd once been in love with: the senator's son.

The game has just begun, and Frances is not only playing dirty, she's playing to win.
