Klappentext zu „The Paradise Guest House “
A riveting and poignant novel of one woman s journey to Bali in search of love, renewal, and a place to call home perfect for readers of Elizabeth Gilbert s Eat, Pray, Love and Alex Garland s The Beach.It starts as a trip to paradise. Sent on assignment to Bali, Jamie, an American adventure guide, imagines spending weeks exploring the island s lush jungles and pristine white sand beaches. Yet three days after her arrival, she is caught in Bali s infamous nightclub bombings, which irreparably change her life and leave her with many unanswered questions.
One year later, haunted by memories, Jamie returns to Bali seeking a sense of closure. Most of all, she hopes to find Gabe, the man who saved her from the attacks. She hasn t been able to forget his kindness or the spark between them as he helped her heal. Checking into a cozy guest house for her stay, Jamie meets the kindly owner, who is coping with a painful past of his own, and a young boy who improbably becomes crucial to her search. Jamie has never shied away from a challenge, but a second chance with Gabe presents her with the biggest dilemma of all: whether she s ready to open her heart.
