David Copperfield is the classic account of a boy growing up in a world that is by turns magical, fearful, and grimly realistic.

Un complot que puede cambiar el curso de la historia. Una mujer dispuesta a todo para recuperar a su hija. Una novela basada en la mayor serie de TV suiza de todos los tiempos. Antes de que el mundo siga girando. En esa locura llamada la Gran Guerra no hay nada grande, excepto el dolor, y Johanna lo sabe bien. De regreso del frente occidental, donde ha servido como enfermera, lleva en su vientre a una niña, Elli, hija de un soldado arrebatado demasiado pronto de la vida. Engañada por su propia familia, que le quita a la pequeña justo después del parto, no tardará en descubrir que en el sanatorio de lujo de su padre, las mentiras están a la orden del día. De hecho, bajo una apariencia idílica, en Davos, la estación climática de montaña de la neutral Suiza, se está llevando a cabo una brutal batalla de espionaje entre las principales potencias mundiales. Nadie es realmente quien dice ser y la lealtad a ideales y alianzas siempre tiene un precio. Pero Johanna hará todo lo posible por recuperar a su hija. Incluso si tiene que mentir, robar o convertirse en una espía dispuesta a matar... Y de repente, el destino de Europa estará en sus manos.

As the world changes around them, a family weathers the storms of growing up, growing older, falling in and out of love, losing the things that are most precious—and learning to go on—from the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Hours April 5, 2019 : In a cozy brownstone in Brooklyn, the veneer of domestic bliss is beginning to crack. Dan and Isabel, troubled husband and wife, are both a little bit in love with Isabel’s younger brother, Robbie. Robbie, wayward soul of the family, who still lives in the attic loft; Robbie, who, trying to get over his most recent boyfriend, has created a glamorous avatar online; Robbie, who now has to move out of the house—and whose departure threatens to break the family apart. Meanwhile Nathan, age ten, is taking his first uncertain steps toward independence, while Violet, five, does her best not to notice the growing rift between her parents. April 5, 2020: As the world goes into lockdown, the brownstone is feeling more like a prison. Violet is terrified of leaving the windows open, obsessed with keeping her family safe, while Nathan attempts to skirt her rules. Isabel and Dan communicate mostly in veiled jabs and frustrated sighs. And beloved Robbie is stranded in Iceland, alone in a mountain cabin with nothing but his thoughts—and his secret Instagram life—for company. April 5, 2021: Emerging from the worst of the crisis, the family reckons with a new, very different reality—with what they’ve learned, what they’ve lost, and how they might go on.
