Siamo nel 1983, a Chihuahua. Adelita ascolta i racconti del nonno materno, il suo abuelo: li ascolta con la partecipazione incantata che è dei più piccoli quando stanno scoprendo il mondo, e insieme al mondo scopre anche un pezzo importante della sua storia. Quello di Adelita è un ascolto tanto più importante perché le informazioni che riceve a scuola sono opache e contraddittorie e hanno bisogno di una voce più trasparente, più vicina al cuore delle cose e degli eventi. Parral, 1916. Pancho Villa è ferito, nascosto in una grotta nel deserto.

Milano, fine Ottocento. Quando varca per la prima volta la soglia dell’orfanotrofio, Angelo Rizzoli ha otto anni, indossa un maglione più grande di un paio di misure e delle scarpe da adulto che lo fanno camminare come una papera. Il funzionario che lo registra all’ingresso scrive sulla scheda d’ammissione: ‘Una vita di stenti’. In quel piccolo mondo pieno di regole – e di punizioni – Angelo è felice: povero tra i poveri, impara che per fare strada bisogna compiere sacrifici, correre dei rischi e, soprattutto, credere in se stessi.

Story
In Die Frauen von Capri – Das Lied vergangener Sommer erzählt SPIEGEL-Bestsellerautorin Antonia Riepp von vier Frauen, einer unerwarteten Erbschaft und einem alten Verbrechen. Weite Himmel, türkisfarbene Wellen und steile Felsen – die Trauminsel Capri hat auch ihre Abgründe. Und in diesem 2. Band von Antonia Riepps Capri-Reihe wird Italiens schönste Insel zur farbenprächtigen Kulisse für einen packenden Urlaubsschmöker. Herrschaftlich, strahlend weiß und wunderschön – von der Villa des Sängers Carlo Romano, hoch oben auf den steilen Felsen Capris, kann man bis dorthin sehen, wo türkisfarbenes Meer und blauer Himmel eins werden

Manchester, 1960. When you're young, unmarried and pregnant, in a shaming society that will never understand, there's only one place left to go. St Ann's mother and baby home. That's how restless Joan, who dreams of a glamorous new life in the Big Smoke, finds herself shut away with two unlikely new roommates: spirited Megan and timid country-girl Caroline, who fell pregnant on her first time. Abandoned by their families, they have no one to rely on but each other, as they wait out the days before they birth their babies - only to be parted from them forever.
