Alguses ei saanud vedama, pärast pidama. Väga hea raamat!
1986.a volbriööl tapetakse ühe lossi lähedal 16-aastane tüdruk. Jääb mulje, et tegemist on rituaalmõrvaga. Tüdruku kasuvend mõistetakse süüdi ja kohe peale seda kaob kogu nende perekond jäljetult.2019.a kolib lossi Thea. Juhuslikult leiab ta vana tamme tüvest kummalise eseme ja hakkab surnud tüdruku lugu lähemalt uurima. Mida aeg edasi, seda kindlamalt on ta veendunud, et kogu tõde pole veel päevavalgele tulnud.•Lugu on nagu tüüpiline krimka. Väike koht ja suur saladus, millest mitte keegi rääki...
I may bumble through this review because when I really love a good story, unfortunately, words will fail me. A fascinating story that is set in Sweden in the days leading up to Walpurgis night. Think bonfires, an old castle and a spring sacrifice... The story moves through two different timelines, one in 1986 and the other present day. I love how atmospheric this story was. Although there were many characters, they somehow added value and intrigue to the plot. It's one of those books I had to sc...

‘During Walpurgis Night, the veil between life and death is at its thinnest. Things are on the move, nature is hungry and the Green Man is riding through the forests’. Walpurgis Night is 30th April and May Day celebrations follow on with a sacrifice to spring having long been a tradition in many places. In 1986 in Bokelund, near Skåne, a dead girl is found on ancient stones which proves to be Elita Svarts. The novel weaves the rites of spring into the storytelling and is told in dual timelines,
‘Ok, I admit it. I’ve become completely obsessed with the mystery of Elita Svart. A dead girl whose spirit seems to hover over the area, even though her house was boarded up the day after her funeral. A dead girl whom nobody wants to talk about, yet someone still lays flowers on her grave.’When Thea Lind moves with her husband to the village in which he grew up, and in which she is to be the new GP, she finds herself drawn to a Polaroid image of a teenage girl, dressed in white, bound at the wri...
Prostě knihy od Anderse de la Motte jsou srdcovky!
Small towns, castles, close-knit community, folklore and legend … throw all that at me and I’m happy! And this book has all of this by the truckload! Add in the obligatory secrets, lies, old friends and wariness of anyone who is ‘different’ and you’ve got the perfect recipe for a slow-burning, spine-tingling thriller.In Rites of Spring, the small town in question is Skåne, more specifically, the village of Tornaby in the district of Bokelund in Sweden. Dr Thea Lind is moving into the area with h...
