Samenvatting

From the bestselling, acclaimed author of Tully and The Bronze Horseman comes the unforgettable love story between a college-bound young woman and a traveling troubadour on his way to war&;a moving, compelling novel of love lost and found set against the stunning backdrop of Eastern Europe.

Chloe is just weeks away from heading off to college and starting a new life far from her home in Maine when she embarks on a great European adventure with her boyfriend and two best friends. Their destination is Barcelona, but first they must detour through the historic cities of Eastern Europe to keep an old family promise.

Here, in this fledgling post-Communist world, Chloe meets a charming American vagabond named Johnny, who carries a guitar, an easy smile&;and a lifetime of secrets. From Treblinka to Trieste, from Karnikava to Krakow, from Vilnius to Venice, the unlikely band of friends and lovers traverse the old world on a train trip that becomes a treacherous journey into Europe&;s and Johnny&;s darkest past&;a journey that jeopardizes Chloe&;s plans for the future and all she ever thought she wanted.

But the lifelong bonds Chloe and her friends share are about to be put to the ultimate test&;and whether or not they reach Barcelona, they can only be certain that their lives will never be the same again.

A sweeping, beautiful tale that mesmerizes and enchants, Lone Star will linger long in the memory once the final page is turned.

    Positieve punten

    • Meeslepend verhaal

    It’s safe to say I have a love-hate relationship with Paullina Simons’ books. I absolutely loved Tully and the Bronzen Horseman, but couldn’t complete Road to Paradise and wasn’t much impressed by A Song in the Daylight. So it was with a combination of reluctance and excitement that I started reading Lone Star. The blurb didn’t help much: ‘the unforgettable love story between a college-bound young woman and a traveling troubadour on his way to war—a moving, compelling novel of love lost and found set against the stunning backdrop of Eastern Europe.’ This summary sounds very corny and luckily doesn’t give the book the credit it deserves. Lone Star is so much more than a love story. It’s a coming-of-age story where friendship, family-ties and loyalty is put to the test. Paullina Simons may cover up her stories as feel-good novels, but she doesn’t fall into the pit of easy happily-ever-after-endings. I still like Tully more, but I definitely enjoyed this book.
