DuBois Manor (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

DuBois Manor sits graceful over-looking the Brine River. It’s 1890, the manor and its magnificent yet angelic stained glass window that sits atop the staircase, summons you. The doors at DuBois manor are beckoning you. Once you step over the threshold you will follow the DuBois sisters, Olivia Marie and Annabelle, daughters of a wealthy shipping tycoon residing in Edenport, North Carolina. They weather storms not unlike the sea their merchant ships travel. Watch their lives evolve in ways they never could have imagined. Their hearts will find forbidden love crossing their paths. Betrayal, lust, lies and murder reside under one roof. One wonders how two women with everything handed to them on a silver spoon could have such empty hearts. Meet Annabelle’s husband, powerful seductive, Jonathan Robert Taylor. He’s at the helm of DuBois Shipping, but his heart lies elsewhere. To protect the DuBois legacy, he must undertake things most men would never consider. Olivia’s husband, Adam Fallsworth, is co-owner of DuBois Shipping and an abusive alcoholic who freely squanders DuBois money at the local bordello. Just as the Brine River has its twists and turns, so do the lives of the DuBois sisters. The river’s unpredictable currents lead into uncharted waters and can pull a body under without warning. At other times, its waters flow calmly. So much a reflection of the journey the sisters will venture in their lives. Did I forget to mention the voodoo curse placed on the family that would last several generations? It will work hard to destroy what one betrayed soul had placed on them.
