Angielski
The stunning new novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Perfume Collector. Mae Fanning overcomes a scandalous year to secure a good job as a sales girl in a tiny antiques shop run by two eccentric men. It is her passport to a better life than the one she leads with her widowed mother in a poor part of Boston, and introduces her to ideas, beautiful objects and history she has never before encountered - it opens her mind and her horizons. But it also introduces her to the dangerously brittle and flawed Van der Laar siblings, Diana and James. For Mae, lacking any kind of family background or fortune, reputation and her job are all - yet like a moth to a flame she keeps being drawn back to the fatally fascinating pair and their hold over her. This is the story of a beautiful, talented, intelligent girl who pretends to be something she isn't in order to reach for a bigger life. Weaving in history and myth through the antiques shop, Rare Objects illuminates the glittering, dangerous fascination of the Prohibition era for a girl who dreams of more.
