La Perla Nera
by Liza Marklund is a new, intense, stunning new book by Marsilio. It will leave you breathless for many reasons. There is a plot, in fact, fantastic, and there is an universe, in general how the system works, in particular the one of the banks that will leave you with many questions.
We are in Manihiki, an island in the Pacific disappeared because of a hurricane, Matini on November 1 1997; apart few portions of the islands, some churches and the families like the one of Kiona who are still working with the black pearls, nothing else is remained as it was before the arrival of Matini.
Kiona lives in the island with extreme simplicity and without the modernity of our places. She works the Black Pearls of oysters and in this business is involved her entire family.
The fatidic day that would have changed the existence of Kiona life was tranquil like any other day of the year, when a white man from Sweden was saved from the asperity of an element like an Ocean that can be friendly but also mortal.
Everyone started to be affectionate at this man, Erik. He will recover falling in love, reciprocated with Kiona. As you will see he will also be helpful in the activity! In the while Kiona and Erik starts to build their family.
Then, one day, from Erik's past someone will return to search for him.
Kiona honestly didn't know anything of the past of Erik. She knew that he worked in a bank but she didn't insist a lot about what it was about.
Erik will leave there a little case plenty of money...
And it's in this moment that Kiona is forced to leave her comfort zone, flying in four continents, searched from ugly and heartless men, discovering more about his Erik but also more about the avidity of people.
It is surprising the changement of this girl, from a little corner of the world, plenty of ingenuity catapulted in a diversfied existence, more close to the one of Erik, populated of dangers; she will sort out problems with a cold spirit and like a secret agent.
Admirably beauty, I highly recommend this book!
I thank Marsilio for the physical copy of this book.
