Produktbeschreibung
Never the twain shall meet is a novel that explores the intersection of cultural identity, love, and loss. The story centers on a trading captain and his daughter, who are caught between two worlds: the isolated island life and the bustling city of San Francisco. Upon their arrival in the city, their journey is complicated by a looming health crisis and their struggle to adapt to a new life while preserving their heritage. The father, facing his own mortality due to a diagnosis, is concerned for his daughter s future, leading him to appoint a guardian to ensure her well-being. As he passes away, the daughter is left to navigate a world that is both unfamiliar and full of potential. Through her journey, the novel delves into her quest for belonging, grappling with loss, and forging a new path in a land that is at once foreign and promising. The story captures the emotional complexities of identity, familial bonds, and the challenges that arise when two cultures collide.
Autorenporträt
Peter Bernhard Kyne was an American novelist who wrote between 1904 and 1940. He was born and died in San Francisco, California. Many of his books were made into screenplays beginning with the silent film era, particularly his debut novel, The Three Godfathers, which was published in 1913 and proved to be a smash hit. Between 1914 and 1952, more than 100 films were based on his books, many of which were made without his authorization or pay. Cappy Ricks, a character invented by Kyne, appears in several novels. Kyne was born on October 12, 1880, to cattle rancher John Kyne and Mary Cresham. Cresham was from Headford, Co Galway, Ireland. Young Kyne worked on his father's ranch in San Francisco before enrolling in a business school and deciding to pursue a career as a writer. He was the uncle of World War II soldier Joseph R. Kyne, the great uncle of Dennis Joseph Kyne, and the last living Kyne, the decorated Desert Storm veteran, award-winning author, and musician Dennis Joseph Kyne, Jr. His relative, Kathleen Curran, is credited with being Ireland's first female harbour master.
