书籍简介

利兹威克城堡世代居住着英国乡村的阿尔恩威克家族，尽管有一个家族的诅咒决心要摧毁他们的遗产，将他们从历史中抹去。

1870. 在阿斯特公馆的一次灾难性的晚餐后，她不得不灰溜溜地逃离纽约，社交名媛比阿特丽斯-霍尔布鲁克知道她在伦敦的表现是胜利的。当她吸引了镇上令人羡慕的单身汉之一的查尔斯-安威克的目光时，她准备尝试一场社会政变，成为未来的诺斯里奇的侯爵夫人。然后，悲剧和丑闻袭击了Alnwick家族，Beatrice需要承担起一生的角色：即她真正的、勇敢的自我。

1917. 艺术家艾琳娜-汉密尔顿来到诺森伯兰，决心把一个士兵的伤口变成美丽的东西。托比亚斯-安威克的父母委托制作一个栩栩如生的面具，以帮助他们的儿子在战斗中的伤口部分摧毁了他的脸之后恢复到以前的样子。但埃琳娜看到的不是一个需要修复的人--她看到的是一个不需要隐藏的人。然而，他们过去的秘密威胁着要赶走他们在对方身上找到的和平，并破坏他们正在创造的未来。

1945. 亚历克-艾尔威克从战争中归来，虽然心有余悸，但决心将死亡和毁灭抛诸脑后。在布里吉塔-迈尔（Brigitta Mayr）的帮助下，他将自己家的大庄园重建为类似的受伤士兵的康复中心，布里吉塔-迈尔是一位出色的年轻精神分析学家，在他在西线作战期间，她的信件是他的生命线。亚历克的努力可能是挽回其家族遗产的仅有机会，也是一劳永逸地打破对阿尔恩威克这个名字的诅咒。

三位受人喜爱的作家分享了阿尔恩威克家族几代人的故事，揭示了爱情和战争如何改变一个地方--但只有它的人民才能把它从过去的错误行为中解救出来。

Leedswick Castle has housed the Alnwick family in the English countryside for generations, despite a family curse determined to destroy their legacy and erase them from history.

1870. After a disastrous dinner at the Astor mansion forces her to flee New York in disgrace, socialite Beatrice Holbrook knows her performance in London must be a triumph. When she catches the eye of Charles Alnwick, one of the town's most enviably titled bachelors, she prepares to attempt a social coup and become the future Marchioness of Northridge. Then tragedy and scandal strike the Alnwick family, and Beatrice must assume the role of a lifetime: that of her true, brave self.

1917. Artist Elena Hamilton arrives in Northumberland determined to transform a soldier's wounds into something beautiful. Tobias Alnwick's parents have commissioned a lifelike mask to help their son return to his former self after battle wounds partially destroyed his face. But Elena doesn't see a man who needs fixing-she sees a man who needn't hide. Yet secrets from their past threaten to chase away the peace they've found in each other and destroy the future they're creating.

1945. Alec Alnwick returns home from the war haunted but determined to leave death and destruction behind. With the help of Brigitta Mayr, the brilliant young psychoanalyst whose correspondence was a lifeline during his time on the Western Front, he reconstructs his family's large estate into a rehabilitation center for similarly wounded soldiers. Alec's efforts may be the only chance to redeem his family legacy-and break the curse on the Alnwick name-once and for all.

Three beloved authors share stories of the Alnwick family through the generations, revealing how love and war can change a place-but only its people can unshackle it from the misdeeds of the past.

She is a Florida native who now lives in Virginia with her husband, daughter, and lazy beagle.
