Chris Sachs: Where Morning Finds Us, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Claire Turner came to Willow End looking for a place to begin again.

The quiet cottage in the Hampshire countryside seemed perfect for that. Old, secluded, and carrying the comfortable marks of generations gone by, it offered Claire something she had been missing for far too long: stillness. She expected creaking floorboards, forgotten corners, and perhaps a few reminders of the people who had lived there before her.

She did not expect James Walker.

In 1944, James is living through a world at war, where tomorrow is never guaranteed and ordinary moments have become precious. In 2027, Claire inhabits the same cottage, separated from him by more than eighty years. They should never meet. They should never speak. By every reasonable law of time, they should never even know the other exists.

But Willow End has other ideas.

What begins as an impossible connection slowly becomes something neither of them can dismiss. Across the decades, Claire and James discover that time does not always behave as it should within the walls of the cottage. Small things can cross the distance between them. Moments can be shared. And as their lives become increasingly intertwined, an impossible friendship grows into something deeper.

Yet the years separating them remain very real. James belongs to 1944, with all the uncertainty and danger that year carries. Claire knows the history waiting beyond his door, but knowing what happened is not the same as knowing what will happen to one man.

The closer they become, the harder it is to accept that some distances may be impossible to cross.

Tender, atmospheric, and quietly magical, Where Morning Finds Us is a story about love across time, the places that remember us, and two people separated by eighty-three years who discover that sometimes home is not a place at all.

It is the person waiting for you when morning comes.
