Die junge Mattie wird im Jahre 1906 in einen mysteriösen
Kriminalfall verwickelt. Das Schicksal des Opfers macht ihr
bewusst, dass sie von nun an ihr Leben ändern muss, um ihre eigenen
Wünsche und Ziele zu verwirklichen.
When mattie Gokey is given a bundle of letters to burn she fully
intends to execute the wishes of the giver, Grace Brown. When Grace
Brown is found drowned the next day in Big Moose Lake, Mattie finds
that it is not as easy to burn those letters as she had thought.
And, as she reads, a riveting story emerges - not only Grace
Brown's story but also Mattie's hopes and ambitions for the
future and her relationships with her friends and family. Published
to widespread acclaim this wonderful novel, part murder mystery and
part coming-of-age story, is an astounding and accomplished piece
of literature. The reviews say it all...
