Margriet de Moor

4.9/5 (23550 ratings)

Description:Ein doppelbödiger Roman um Zufall und Schicksal, Begehren und Loyalität, Identität und Verlust, das Ringen um Gelassenheit mitten im Leben, mitten im TodSchicksalstausch zweier Schwestern. Armanda hat versprochen, nach Zeeland zu fahren, um dort ihr Patenkind zu besuchen. Am selben Wochenende will Lidy mit ihrem Mann in Amsterdam auf eine Party gehen. So sollte es ein, aber dann bricht Lidy an Armandas Stelle Richtung Schouwen-Duiveland auf, während Armanda die Tochter der Schwester hütet und sich mit deren Mann, in den sie unausgesprochen verliebt ist, auf der Fete vergnügt. Und so kommt es, dass Armanda zurückbleibt, während Lidy in die historische Flutkatastrophe von 1953 gerät, die fast den ganzen Südwesten der Niederlande von der Landkarte fegt. Dem äußeren Katastrophenszenario stehen die inneren Verhältnisse gegenüber. Die Zurückbleibende versucht ein richtiges Leben im falschen - ihrer Schwester - zu führen.----------------On the night of January 31, 1953, a mountain of water, literally piled up out of the sea by a freak winter hurricane, swept down onto the Netherlands, demolishing the dikes protecting the country and wiping a quarter of its landmass from the map. It was the worst natural disaster to strike the Netherlands in three hundred years.The morning of the storm, Armanda asks her sister, Lidy, to take her place on a visit to her godchild in the town of Zierikzee. In turn, Armanda will care for Lidy's two-year-old daughter and accompany Lidy’s husband to a party. The sisters, both of them young and beautiful, look so alike that no one may even notice. But what Armanda can’t know is that her little comedy is a provocation to fate: Lidy is headed for the center of the deadly storm. Margriet de Moor interweaves the stories of these two sisters, deftly alternating between the cataclysm and the long years of its grief-strewn aftermath. While Lidy struggles to survive, surrounded by people she barely knows, Armanda must master the future, trying to live out the life of her missing sister as if it were her own.A brilliant meshing of history and imagination, The Storm is a powerfully dramatic and psychologically gripping novel from one of Europe’s most compelling writers.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
