Courtney Peppernell: Last Poem, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

A moving and heart-rending debut about a grieving woman who moves to a charming small town and finds healing, friendship and love, from multi-million-copy bestselling poet Courtney Peppernell.

Bestselling author and poet Wren Paisley is a mess after the untimely death of her fiancée Lucy in a tragic car crash that left a young bystander paralysed. Unable to escape the media frenzy swarming her brownstone, Wren goes on a road trip with no destination in mind, until she hits Everston, Colorado. Everston is charming, the people are kind and, most importantly, no one knows who she is.

It feels fortuitous - and a little dangerous - when she learns that the local library holds a weekly grief support group that reads, of all things, poetry. Hesitantly, she joins and slowly begins to build community with the other members, including Henry, a librarian mourning the loss of his brother, Emerson, a young woman recovering from a traumatic accident, and Olivia, a grieving reporter who gives her butterflies. Finally, she can breathe again.

But not for long. As she grows closer to new friends and a possible new love, her past comes barreling back into focus. How long can she keep her old life in the rearview? Will she be able to build a new life in Everston, or will it all come crashing down when new truths come to light?
