Tekst w języku angielskim.

October 1891: A young girl, Leonie Vernier, and her brother, Anatole, are invited to leave the gas-lit streets of Paris and travel south to a mysterious country house - La Domaine de la Cade - near Carcassonne. There, in the ancient, dark woods, Leonie comes across a ruined sepulchre and is drawn into a century's old mystery of murder, ghosts and a strange set of tarot cards that seem to hold enormous power over life and death. October 2007: Meredith Martin decides to take a break from her research trip in Paris - where she is studying Claude Debussy - and head down south to a beautiful hotel in the woods. She becomes fascinated by the history of the place and particularly by the tragic events of one Halloween night more than a century before that shocked the small community. Thus her fate becomes entwined with that of Leonie. But it is only when she too stumbles over a secluded glade in the forest that she realises that the secrets it contains are far from dead and buried...

Książka w języku anielskim. Październik 1891 roku. Léonie Vernier i jej brat Anatole, opuszczają ciasne i tłoczne ulice Paryża i wyjeżdżają na południe, do tajemniczej wiejskiej rezydencji La Domaine de la Cade niedaleko Carcassonne. Tam, w prastarym lesie dziewczyna trafia na zrujnowany grobowiec, który kryje w sobie tajemnicę popełnionego przed ponad stu laty morderstwa. Léonie zanurza się w krainie zjaw i widm, w której życiem i śmiercią rządzi stara talia kart do tarota, obdarzona niezwykłą mocą. Październik 2007: Meredith Martin postanawia zrobić sobie przerwę badaniach nad twórczością Claude'a Debussy'ego. Wybiera się z Paryża na południe, do pięknego hotelu położonego wśród lasów. Fascynuje ją historia tego miejsca, a szczególnie tragiczne wydarzenia z Halloweenowej nocy ponad sto lat temu, które wstrząsnęły mieszkańcami okolicy. W ten sposób jej los splata się z losami Léonie. Ale dopiero gdy ona także potyka się na ustronnej polanie, zdaje sobie sprawę, że tajemnice tego miejsca mają związek nie tylko z umarłymi...

Victoria Stratford's birthday party for her husband David is a resounding success. It shows off their beautiful Wimbledon house, their wonderful children, their perfect lives, and it conceals the tensions and ambitions that infest their marriage. While Victoria graciously welcomes her guests, the only person missing is David himself. Victoria's sister Clara and her husband Tom are there. Unworldly and idealistic, Tom scorns David's quest for wealth. While Clara is content with her job as a university lecturer and their shabby home, she is yearning for something and Tom cannot see the growing need for happiness that may take Clara away from him. In the garden, the youngest sister Annie talks to her husband Hugo. They are ideally suited and very content with each other. The only blight on their lives is Hugo's mother, Barbara, whose jealousy and possessiveness have turned into a poisonous hatred of Annie. This one evening begins a train of events that will lead each sister down a different path - towards love, sex, grief, betrayal and happiness. Each of them will learn what it is to be a wife, a sister and a lover.

Imagine a young boy who has never had a loving home. His only possessions are the old, torn clothes he carries in a paper bag. The only world he knows is one of isolation and fear. Although others had rescued this boy from his abusive alcoholic mother, his real hurt is just beginning -- he has no place to call home. This is Dave Pelzer's long-awaited sequel to „A Child Called "It"”. In The Lost Boy, he answers questions and reveals new adventures through the compelling story of his life as an adolescent. Now considered an F-Child (Foster Child), Dave is moved in and out of five different homes. He suffers shame and experiences resentment from those who feel that all foster kids are trouble and unworthy of being loved just because they are not part of a "real" family. Tears, laughter, devastation and hope create the journey of this little lost boy who searches desperately for just one thing -- the love of a family.
