Description

It is set on the idyllic island of Cyprus and takes us into the lives of two main families who on the surface seem to have it all, great relationships, beautiful houses, and good kids, but over the course of one hot summer marriages will be tested, secrets will be revealed, love will be found, love will be lost, and lives will be changed forever.

Is ‘Pandora’ just a place of tranquility and beauty or will it reveal the uncomfortable secrets that Helena is desperate to keep, secrets that could change their lives and there is an Olive Tree that holds a secret of its own.

No one knows who their real father is, apparently, and it takes a summer vacation by the sea to make them discover their genealogy. The characters are so stereotypical that I just wanted to burn them with the fire of a thousand suns.

When, by chance, Helena meets her childhood sweetheart, her past threatens to collide with her present. Titlul m-a dus cu gandul la ceva mult mai misterios si asta a fost motivul pentru care i-am dat patru stelute. También esta narrado desde el Pov de ella pero en tercera persona e incluso algunos pocos capítulos de William su marido. I don’t think anyone ever forgets their first love, even though the actual reality may not live up to the picture one has had in their mind over the years. Die Geschichte wird aus verschiedenen Perspektiven erzählt, man liest viel aus der Sicht des Sohnes, der zwar manchmal recht altklug erscheint, aber eben doch viele kindliche Züge hat.She spent the first few years of her life in the village of Drumbeg near Belfast before moving to England. She just floated from the kitchen to the terrace to the pool to the garden in angelic perfection, smiling at everyone, sucking up their misplaced anger like a sponge, and believing everything was her fault. Both Helena and Alex know that life will never be the same, once Pandora’s secrets have been revealed .

The author sets up the story nicely describing the house itself and the surrounding countryside and gives us time to get to know Alex. I get her motivations and her truckload of anxiety, and I certainly get her desperate need to protect all those that she loves. La novela comienza con Alex hijo mayor de Helena quien después de diez años regresa a Pandora para organizar una reunión en la que mas delante de unirá su familia, mientras espera a que lleguen los demás encuentra su diario aquel que escribió cuando el y su familia pasaron ese verano en la casa de Pandora, y así empieza a recordar y a contarnos su capítulos en primera persona cosa que fue increíble porque Alex fue el personaje que mas ame, ese niño de 13 años con un coeficiente intelectual superior a su edad, que como ya empieza a madurar desea conocer quien es su padre, es obvio por el titulo de lo que mas trata la historia, ese secreto que Helena se guarda para si misma, sin contárselo a nadie, quien es el padre de Alex y porque oculta tanto la verdad.Todos los personajes están ahí por algo, poco a poco toda se va hilando perfectamente y todos y cada uno de ellos son necesarios. Tengo que decir que Lucinda Riley sigue sorprendiéndome, a pesar de estar escrita hace diez años según comenta ella, es una historia que te atrapa enseguida, tenemos unos personajes muy reales y humanos, con sus defectos, con sus problemas y muchos secretos.
