Der internationale Bestseller - jetzt im TaschenbuchMan kann sich nur so lange vor der Wahrheit verschließen, bis sie an die Tür klopft. 1961, in der niederländischen Provinz: Seit dem Tod ihrer Mutter lebt Isabel allein in dem großen, von der Zeit gezeichneten Familienhaus. Die Tage ziehen ruhig und geordnet dahin. Doch als ihr Bruder Louis seine ungehobelte Freundin Eva bei ihr einquartiert, geraten Isabels stille Routinen ins Wanken, und das Haus, das einst Schutz und Sicherheit bot, wird zum Schauplatz unheimlicher Veränderungen. Plötzlich verschwinden Dinge und Isabel wird immer misstrauischer gegenüber Eva, die nicht das zu sein scheint, was sie vorgibt.In der flirrenden Sommerhitze entwickelt sich eine unerwartete Anziehung zwischen den beiden Frauen, die Isabels festgefügtes Weltbild erschüttert. Die Vergangenheit, die Isabel zu verdrängen versucht hat, holt sie endgültig ein und zwingt sie, sich ihren Vorurteilen und der dunklen Geschichte des Hauses zu stellen.In sinnlich dichter Sprache und mit subtiler Spannung erzählt Yael van der Wouden von Begierde, verdrängten Geheimnissen, unerwarteter Rache und den Abgründen, die sich hinter den Fassaden scheinbar geordneter Leben verbergen. Shortlist des Booker Prizes 2024Gewinnerin des Women's Prize 2025'Ein fulminantes Debüt über Liebe, Besitzen und Besessenheit' DER SPIEGELBei Fragen zur Produktsicherheit, wenden Sie sich bitte an: info@gutkind-verlag.de

Estranea
Solo in casa Isabel si sente protetta. Lì, da bimba, ha potuto giocare felice, al riparo dai bombardamenti. Ancora oggi, vent'anni dopo, quei muri la difendono. Saldi e immobili, come lei. Per questo tutto deve essere in ordine: le posate allineate, le stoviglie lucidate, il giardino senza erbacce. Un mattino, però, Isabel trova la scheggia di un piatto di porcellana. La prima incrinatura in un mondo perfetto, a cui ne segue presto una seconda, ben più grave. Quel giorno, si presenta sulla soglia di casa Eva, la nuova fidanzata del fratello, che Isabel è costretta a ospitare per qualche tempo. Eva è l'estranea. Ha i capelli ossigenati tagliati troppo alla moda, un rossetto rosso troppo audace. Soprattutto, è troppo piena di vita e di entusiasmo, che riversa nelle stanze in cui echeggiano passi di danza e risate. Nulla è più immobile come prima. Eva ruba il silenzio - o, forse, lo sta dissipando. Mentre fuori la primavera tarda a mostrarsi, Isabel sente sciogliersi un nodo nel petto. Non solo. Sente anche una pulsione, una gravità ineluttabile, che la spinge, suo malgrado, verso Eva. Eppure, qualcosa le dice di rimanere vigile. Perché Eva fa molte domande. Forse la sua non è solo curiosità. Forse c'è un segreto in quelle mura, un segreto che non appartiene a Isabel. Appartiene alla casa stessa, a pareti che non sono permeate di silenzio bensì di grida disperate e mai sopite. Ci sono romanzi che ci sfidano a cambiare prospettiva. Storie che parlano di ossessioni, scelte, superamento delle proprie convinzioni. Di segreti svelati e di come non sempre la nostra verità coincida con quella degli altri. "L'estranea" è uno di questi. Das Urheberrecht an bibliographischen und produktbeschreibenden Daten und an den bereitgestellten Bildern liegt bei Informazioni Editoriali, I.E.
