Ponáhľa sa do rodinného sídla na brehu Ženevského jazera, kde sa dozvie, že otec – záhadný miliardár zanechal každej dcére vzrušujúci kľúč k tajomstvu jej skutočnému pôvodu. Ally spočiatku vlastne ani netúži pátrať po svojom pôvode, pretože sa prvý raz v živote skutočne zaľúbila. Jej lásku k Theovi však poznačí tragická udalosť. Skôr zo smútku a zúfalstva sa rozhodne ísť po stopách svojich predkov, ktoré ju zavedú do Nórska. Tam Ally začne objavovať svoje korene a zistí, že jej príbeh nepochybne súvisí s mladou neznámou speváčkou Annou Landvikovou, ktorá pred vyše sto rokmi spievala na premiére Peera Gynta ikonické skladby nórskeho skladateľa Edvarda Griega. „Lucinda Rileyová s nezvyčajnou zručnosťou ovláda nitky svojho príbehu.“ - INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY „Príbehy z pera Lucindy Rileyovej jednoznačne patria k najkrajším, najlepším a najšťastnejším čitateľským zážitkom na svete....Pôžitok z čítania à la Jane Austenová.

Každý príbeh sa začína v nádhernom zámku na brehu Ženevského jazera, domove všetkých sestier. Zídu sa tam po správe o smrti milovaného otca, tajomného miliardára, ktorý ich adoptoval v útlom detstve z rozličných končín sveta a každej zanechal obálku s odkazom na ich minulosť a záhadný pôvod. Prvý diel opisuje príbeh Maie, najstaršej sestry, ktorú jej pátranie po pravej identite zavedie na druhý koniec sveta do schátranej vily v brazílskom Riu de Janeiro. Kúsky rodinnej mozaiky jej odhalia nečakané súvislosti so záhadným príbehom lásky spojeným s Parížom a so stavbou slávnej sochy Krista Spasiteľa týčiacej sa na hore Corcovado nad najkrajším mestom sveta. „Rileyová napísala mimoriadne pôsobivú rodinnú ságu so zložitou dejovou líniou. Podobne ako svetoznáma socha, ktorá kedysi spojila milencov a dnes sa týči na Riom, aj jej príbeh je elegantne vypracovaný a vsadený do historických súvislostí.“ Library Journal USA „Výborne koncipovaný, dejovo bohatý pútavý román, ktorý preklenul kontinenty a desiatky rokov.“ Sunday Express „Vzrušenie spojené s očakávaním nového románu od Lucindy Rileyovej možno porovnať s nedočkavosťou fanúšikov J.

Lokality, kde sa dej odohráva, podnecujú predstavivosť, ich neopakovateľné opisy ma preniesli do úžasného sveta a umeleckého prostredia.“ The Book Trail USA „Úžasne napínavé, nabité drámou a prekypujúce romantikou.“ Daily Mail „Rileyová je jednou z najfundovanejších autoriek v žánri historickej fikcie… vynikajúca historická drobnokresba, romantika lámajúca srdce a strhujúca zápletka.“ Historical Novel Society

Audiokniha: Hektický a oslňujúci New York, modelka bojujúca s démonmi závislosti a jej putovanie za koreňmi do nádhernej africkej krajiny.Podľa ľudí, ktorí ju nepoznajú osobne, iba zo svetiel reflektorov a z obálok módnych časopisov, má Elektra D’Aplièse všetko, čo si môže od života priať: je jednou z najslávnejších topmodeliek sveta, je krásna, bohatá a slávna. No pod trblietavou pozlátkou sa skrýva mladá žena, vyčerpaná tlakom a hektikou života, ktorý vedie. Jej krehkou duševnou rovnováhou otrasie smrť tatka Slaného, záhadného miliardára, ktorý si z rozličných kútov sveta ešte ako bábätká adoptoval šesť dcér a vychoval ich v honosnom sídle na brehu Ženevského jazera. Elektra je najmladšia z nich. Po tejto zničujúcej správe hľadá čoraz častejšie útechu v alkohole a drogách. Zájde to tak ďaleko, že ľudia okolo nej sa začnú vážne obávať o jej zdravie. Jedného dňa dostane list od neznámej osoby, ktorá tvrdí, že je jej stará mama...Niť Elektrinho života sa prepletá s osudom inej ženy – v roku 1939 opustí Cecily Huntley-Morganová New York a vydáva sa do Kene, aby si tam liečila zlomené srdce. Ubytuje sa u krstnej matky, členky britskej komunity Šťastné údolie, známej tým, že si užíva zábavu a večierky na brehu nádherného jazera Naivasha.Cecily sa zoznámi so starým mládencom Billom Forsythom, chovateľom dobytka, ktorý udržiava blízky vzťah s hrdým domorodým kmeňom Masajov. Po šokujúcom odhalení a v obavách z blížiacej sa vojny nemá Cecily veľmi na výber. Súhlasí s Billovým návrhom, presťahuje sa do údolia Wanjohi a ocitne sa v izolácii, odlúčená od ľudí. Žije osamotene až do dňa, kým v lese neďaleko svojho domu nenájde odložené malé dieťa.Elektrino pátranie po vlastných koreňoch a úspešný boj s drogovou závislosťou z nej robia silnú a obdivuhodnú postavu šiesteho príbehu a zároveň jednu z najsympatickejších a najlepšie vykreslených sestier, ktoré adoptoval záhadný miliardár tatko Slaný. Jednu vec, ktorú ma život naučil, je, že človek by si nikdy nemal odkladať špeciálne veci na ďalší deň, pretože zajtrajšok nemusí nikdy prísť. Len som snívala o svete, kde by som sa necítila ako outsider, o svete, kam by som patrila. Pretože to je jediná vec, čo som kedy naozaj chcela.

A scientistâ ™s inspiring vision of our return to the Moon as humanityâ ™s next thrilling step in space explorationJust over half a century since Neil Armstrong first stepped foot on the lunar surface, a new space race to the Moon is well underway and rapidly gaining momentum. Laying out a vision for the next fifty years, Back to the Moon is astrophysicist Joseph Silkâ ™s persuasive and impassioned case for putting scientific discovery at the forefront of lunar exploration. The Moon offers opportunities beyond our wildest imaginings, and plans to return are rapidly gaining momentum around the world. NASA aims to build a habitable orbiting space station to coordinate lunar development and exploration, while European and Chinese space agencies are planning lunar villages and the mining of precious resources dwindling here on Earth. Powerful international and commercial interests are driving the race to revisit the Moon, but lunar infrastructures could also open breathtaking vistas onto the cosmos. Silk describes how the colonization of the Moon could usher in a thrilling new age of scientific exploration, and lays out what the next fifty years of lunar science might look like. With lunar telescopes of unprecedented size situated in permanently dark polar craters and on the far side of the Moon, we could finally be poised to answer some of the most profound questions confronting humankind, including whether we are alone in the Universe and what our cosmic origins are. Addressing both the daunting challenges and the immense promise of lunar exploration and exploitation, Back to the Moon reveals how prioritizing science, and in particular lunar astronomy, will enable us to address the deepest cosmic mysteries.
