Reseña del libro "Lights Beyond The Cove: A Novel of Friendship, Memory and the Sea (en Inglés)"
Four teenagers. One unforgettable night. A friendship that lasts a lifetime. September 1998. In a small coastal community near Peggy's Cove, Nova Scotia, seventeen-year-old Maggie MacLeod has more important things on her mind than the wider world. School, friendships, first love and the infuriating Eli Caldwell are quite enough to worry about. Then Swissair Flight 111 crashes into the Atlantic, and everything changes. As fishing boats race into the darkness and neighbours open their doors to strangers, Maggie, Sophie, Eli and Jason find themselves drawn together by a tragedy none of them could have imagined. Amid fear, uncertainty and extraordinary acts of kindness, four young people forge a friendship they believe nothing will ever break. But life has other plans. Over the next thirty years, careers, marriages, children, distance and the passing of time gradually pull them in different directions. Through it all, Jason remains the one who never lets the friendship disappear. When his death brings the surviving three together again, he leaves them an envelope bearing their names and one final instruction: Take it back to where we became us. Returning to the windswept coastline of their youth, Maggie, Sophie and Eli must confront old memories, unfinished feelings and the promises they once believed would last forever. A deeply moving, warm and beautifully human novel about lifelong friendship, first love, loss, the meaning of home and the extraordinary power of ordinary kindness. Set against the real events of the Swissair Flight 111 tragedy, Lights Beyond the Cove is ultimately a story of hope, laughter, resilience and the people who shape our lives long after the years have carried us apart.
