Acerca de esta escucha
An antiques dealer and an enigmatic heiress embark on a revelatory friendship in a haunting and hopeful novel about family ties, secrets, and belonging by the bestselling author of A Heart Like Home.
Cautious Claire Shelton, employee at a Maine antique shop, is surprised when she’s recruited to catalog the treasures of reclusive Hanna Reeves, sole descendant of the state’s most colorful shipbuilders and industrialists. Hanna’s retreat from society years ago is just one of many mysteries behind the walls of Rose Hill, her fabled estate.
Settling into Rose Hill’s carriage house, Claire finds Hanna, nearing eighty, to be a still-formidable woman. She’s demanding, judgmental, and protective of a mansion that is a veritable shrine to her ancestors. Then, diving into her work, Claire discovers a hidden library that is the stuff of legend among locals. An avid booklover, Claire is in heaven. More enthralling are Hanna’s leather-bound family journals that open Claire up to the past—and soon forge a rich and unexpected bond between two very different women.
A legacy is coming to light. All of Maine is talking. Because the revelations in the journals are enlightening enough to unite old friends, lovers, and families. And shocking enough to tear them apart forever.

“Lost loves, generations-old secrets, and an unlikely friendship all unfold in Christine Nolfi’s deliciously immersive novel The Secret Library of Hanna Reeves. Readers will fall headlong into this wonderfully layered gem about writing your own story and the beauty of a life—and a fortune—well spent. I was not ready for this story to end.”—Barbara Davis, bestselling author of The Echo of Old Books
“Christine Nolfi has done it again. The Secret Library of Hanna Reeves is a tantalizing and magical tale of how one woman’s tragic beginnings put her on the journey she was always destined for. This story intertwines the complexities of friendship between the mysterious heiress Hanna Reeves and the raw, fiercely independent Claire Shelton—a young woman pioneering her identity in the early 1970s. Pour a steaming cup of tea, grab a blanket, and lose yourself in the pages of this beautiful story. A must-read.”—C. I. Jerez, author of At the Island’s Edge
“If you love books about books, love Maine and rambling old houses, love family secrets, or just plain love a ripping good story beautifully told, you must read Christine Nolfi’s The Secret Library of Hanna Reeves. Nolfi’s gifts shine as she weaves together not only a memorable main character’s past and present but also various strands of family stories, each with pain and loss, as well as beauty and strength. With her signature compassion and insight, Nolfi gives us a story that draws us in—into individual lives, into a beguiling New England estate and a philanthropist’s mysterious decisions, and into a journey of finding purpose and belonging where we’d least expect it.”—Joy Jordan-Lake, bestselling author of Echoes of Us

Estella Ecker has returned to Rockfall House, the last place on earth she wants to be. Years after she ran away from her overbearing father, she has been forced back home to walk in his footsteps, teaching at the college he dominated and living in the fabulous home where he entertained artists and scholars for decades—and perhaps she owns it now, because her mercurial mother has disappeared. At the center of everything—the whispers, the rumors, the secrets—is her father’s library of rare books, which she had been forbidden to touch while he was alive to stop her.

Holland, 1650. One fine spring day in Friesland, twenty-year-old Clara van Weiren is faced with an ill omen: a whale, beached and rotting in the noonday sun. But Clara doesn’t believe in magic and superstition, and this portent is quickly dismissed when a proposal from a wealthy merchant arrives, promising Clara the freedom she seeks from her mother’s overbearing rule. When her attempts at overseeing the household at the family’s estate lead to her chance encounter with a young man with russet hair and sparkling eyes the color of the sea, she finds herself strangely drawn to him.

Ali Dawson and her cold case team investigate crimes so old, they're frozen—or so their inside joke goes. Ali’s work seems like a safe desk job, but what her friends—and even her beloved son—don’t know is that her team has a secret: they can travel back in time to look for evidence. So far, Ali has only made short trips to the recent past, so she’s surprised when she’s asked to investigate a murder in 1850. The killing has been pinned on an aristocratic patron of the arts and antiquities, and member of a sinister group called The Collectors.

In the wake of a catastrophic two-year relationship, Melissa Febos decided to take a break: For three months she would abstain from dating, relationships, and sex. Her friends were amused. Did she really think three months was a long time? But to Febos, it was. Ever since her teens, she had been in one relationship after another with men and women. As she puts it, she could trace a “daisy chain of romances” from her adolescence to her midthirties. Finally, she would carve out time to focus on herself and examine the patterns that had produced her midlife disaster.
