"Two women, bound by blood and betrayal, must break silence across centuries-or be silenced forever, in the dazzling new novel by New York Times bestselling author Madeline Martin. Lilith Legare's life is unraveling. Since her mother's death, strange things have been happening - plants turn toward her touch, animals linger in her path, and the birthmark on her arm has started tingling. Worse still is her recurring nightmare of being burned alive at the stake. Her search for answers brings her from Savannah to England, to the decaying Brackenmere Manor where the past blurs with the present. There, Lilith discovers a legacy she never asked for and along with it, the threat of peril. History must be rewritten, or she too will die. In 1645 Suffolk, Sybil Brantham stands accused as a witch. An educated, wealthy widow, she is branded a threat by men who fear her independence. As arrests begin and suspicion abounds, Sybil must protect her younger sister, even as betrayal takes root within her household. Across centuries, Lilith and Sybil are bound by blood and by danger. To save themselves, and each other, they must confront the silence that has stolen women's power for generations-and dare to claim their voices before it's too late.

[Italian] - La biblioteca segreta di Lisbona

"Ogni libro è un rifugio, ogni parola una ribellione. Lione, 1943. Quando la Gestapo le strappa il marito, il mondo di Elaine si sgretola. Ma nel buio dell'occupazione nazista, sceglie di non arrendersi e abbraccia la Resistenza. Insieme ad altre donne, tra macchine da stampa clandestine e documenti segreti, tesse una rete vitale in cui la comune vulnerabilità si trasforma in coraggio. Lontano, nella fragile neutralità di Lisbona, Ava, una bibliotecaria americana, usa la letteratura come scudo. Sa che i libri offrono una speranza dove la realtà sembra senza scampo, ogni volume distribuito diventa una promessa di riparo, una storia protezione per chi ha perduto tutto. Ma quando le parole non bastano più contro la ferocia della guerra, Ava supera i confini della biblioteca e rischia la sua libertà per nascondere chi fugge dal terrore, decisa a scrivere un finale diverso. Pur separate da un'Europa in fiamme, i destini di Elaine e Ava si intrecciano in modo profondo. Sono unite dallo stesso coraggio e dalle scelte difficili che la guerra impone ogni giorno. Custodiscono memorie, affrontano la paura, mettono a rischio se stesse e trovano nei gesti di solidarietà la forza di andare avanti. Un romanzo toccante e immersivo che celebra come, anche nei momenti più bui, il filo tenace della solidarietà femminile e il potere salvifico delle storie siano l'unica, luminosa speranza."

E ora le mille luci della città, i negozi eleganti, la frenetica vita mondana, che nella piccola cittadina del Norfolk poteva solo immaginare, stanno per diventare realtà. Quando il treno ferma a Farringdon Station, Grace si rende conto che il momento non è davvero dei migliori: gli abitanti stanno costruendo bunker e le porte sono sbarrate. La Germania di Hitler è alle porte e sicuramente la prima città presa di mira dai nazisti sarà Londra. Lei però non si arrende e comincia subito a cercare lavoro, anche se l'impresa non sembra facile e l'unica posizione da commessa disponibile è in una piccola libreria accoccolata in una stradina nascosta di Primrose Hill. La ragazza non sa molto di letteratura, e Mr. Evans, il libraio, non è esattamente accogliente nei suoi confronti, ma giorno dopo giorno, libro dopo libro, Grace rimane affascinata dalla magia delle pagine che la circondano. La guerra continua, durante la notte le bombe cadono senza sosta, finché un giorno un raid aereo distrugge il quartiere. Eppure, la piccola libreria miracolosamente rimane intatta. Nonostante i blackout e i bombardamenti, Grace sa che deve combattere. La libreria deve rimanere aperta e aiutare le persone. Perché niente è più forte del potere dei libri, e nemmeno l'oscurità della guerra può spegnere la speranza che si rifugia nelle storie e che illumina anche la notte più buia.
