Produktbeschreibung

A haunting tale of family secrets, ancient traditions, and the power of love that transcends time.

When Catherine da Costa, a wealthy Manhattan matron, learns she has only a short time to live, she realizes that her family tree will die unless she passes on its legacy and traditions to her granddaughters. But Suzanne and Francesca, beautiful young women caught up in trendy causes and ambitious careers, have no interest in the past. Catherine almost despairs until one night she is visited by the ghost of her family's ancestor, an indomitable Renaissance businesswoman named Hannah Mandes.

Encouraged by Hannah's spirit, Catherine uses every trick in the book to coerce her granddaughters to journey across Europe and acquaint themselves with their Sephardic Jewish roots. While the sisters honor their grandmother's request out of loyalty, they believe their quest is futile-until it starts to uncover ancient pages from Hannah Mendes's fascinating memoir, and brings new loves into their lives.

In a sweeping story that spans generations, Ghost of Hannah Mendes by Naomi Ragen weaves together themes of family, history, and self-discovery. This captivating historical novel explores the enduring bonds of heritage and the mysteries of the heart that connect us across time.
