<p>Romanas, įkvėptas tikrų istorinių faktų.\nŽmones išskiria ne religija, o gėris ir blogis šioje žemėje.\nTrisdešimt šešerių Houpė jau nesistebi blogomis naujienomis. Jos motina mirė, vyras paliko ją dėl dvidešimt dvejų merginos, banko sąskaita beveik tuščia. Jau seniai atsisakiusi svajonės tapti teisininke, Houpė, auginanti nelengvo būdo paauglę dukterį, stengiasi išlaikyti žlungančią šeimos kepyklėlę.\nHoupės mylima močiutė, kilusi iš Prancūzijos, penkiasdešimt metų džiuginusi Menkių kyšulio gyventojus savo kepiniais, pamažu pasineria į Alzheimerio rūką. Tačiau proto prašviesėjimo akimirką ji supranta, kad jei nepapasakos Houpei apie praeitį, jos ilgai saugotos paslaptys pradings amžiams. Ji užsimena apie paslaptingus tragiškus įvykius Paryžiuje. Paskui surašo ant lapelio sąrašą pavardžių ir paprašo anūkės nuvykti į Prancūziją dėl paslapties, kurią saugojo septyniasdešimt metų.\nHoupė, vedama emocijų, eina per Paryžiaus kepyklas, kuriose susipynusios trijų religijų tradicijos, užkoduotos močiutės pasakose ir naminių kepinių skoniuose. Moteris iš gabaliukų dėlioja šeimos istoriją, sužino siaubingų dalykų apie Holokaustą, klausosi giminaičių liudijimų apie jų siekį išgyventi laikais, kai pasaulis išprotėjo. Išgirsta istoriją apie du mylimuosius, kuriuos išskyrė žiaurios aplinkybės. Jai telieka būti drąsiai ir tikėti, kad Dievą galima rasti visur, netgi pyragaityje.\n„Užmaršties saldumas" – tai pasakojimas, įkvėptas tikros istorijos, apie religinių įsitikinimų nepaisančius žydų gelbėtojus.\nHarmel meistriškai ir įtaigiai pasakoja apie kartų kovą už išlikimą. Knygoje pabarstyti kepinių receptai leidžia skaitytojams patiems geriau pajusti saldų Houpės kelionės skonį. – Publishers Weekly\nKristin Harmel yra populiari rašytoja, kurios knygos nuolat tampa „The New York Times" bestseleriais.

From the author of the international bestseller The Sweetness of Forgetting, named one of the Best Books of Summer 2012 by Marie Claire magazine, comes a captivating novel about the struggle to overcome the past when our memories refuse to be forgotten. In this richly told story where Sliding Doors meets P.S. I Love You, Kristin Harmel weaves a heart-wrenching tale that asks: what does it take to move forward in life without forgetting the past? After her husband's sudden death over ten years ago, Kate Waithman never expected to be lucky enough to find another love of her life. But now she's planning her second walk down the aisle to a perfectly nice man. So why isn't she more excited? At first, Kate blames her lack of sleep on stress. But when she starts seeing Patrick, her late husband, in her dreams, she begins to wonder if she's really ready to move on. Is Patrick trying to tell her something? Attempting to navigate between dreams and reality, Kate must uncover her husband's hidden message. Her quest leads her to a sign language class and into the New York City foster system, where she finds rewards greater than she could have imagined.

The Life Intended

<p>Inspired by an astonishing true story from World War II, a young woman with a talent for forgery helps hundreds of Jewish children flee the Nazis in this unforgettable historical novel from the international bestselling author of the “epic and heart-wrenching World War II tale” (Alyson Noel, #1 New York Times bestselling author) The Winemaker’s Wife.\nEva Traube Abrams, a semi-retired librarian in Florida, is shelving books one morning when her eyes lock on a photograph in a magazine lying open nearby. She freezes; it’s an image of a book she hasn’t seen in sixty-five years—a book she recognizes as The Book of Lost Names.\nThe accompanying article discusses the looting of libraries by the Nazis across Europe during World War II—an experience Eva remembers well—and the search to reunite people with the texts taken from them so long ago. The book in the photograph, an eighteenth-century religious text thought to have been taken from France in the waning days of the war, is one of the most fascinating cases. Now housed in Berlin’s Zentral- und Landesbibliothek library, it appears to contain some sort of code, but researchers don’t know where it came from—or what the code means. Only Eva holds the answer—but will she have the strength to revisit old memories and help reunite those lost during the war?\nAs a graduate student in 1942, Eva was forced to flee Paris after the arrest of her father, a Polish Jew. Finding refuge in a small mountain town in the Free Zone, she begins forging identity documents for Jewish children fleeing to neutral Switzerland. But erasing people comes with a price, and along with a mysterious, handsome forger named Rémy, Eva decides she must find a way to preserve the real names of the children who are too young to remember who they really are. The records they keep in The Book of Lost Names will become even more vital when the resistance cell they work for is betrayed and Rémy disappears.\nAn engaging and evocative novel reminiscent of The Lost Girls of Paris and The Alice Network, The Book of Lost Names is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of bravery and love in the face of evil.</p>
