Las vidas de Fiona, Thomas, Elsa y David se cruzan de forma accidental pero decisiva durante un verano mágico en un escenario único: un pueblo de la costa griega. En una taberna encaramada en lo alto de un pequeño pueblo griego, las vidas de cuatro desconocidos se cruzan por primera vez. Fiona es una enfermera irlandesa en busca de su lugar en el mundo; Thomas es un profesor de California que añora a su hijo y teme que su ex mujer lo aleje de el definitivamente; Elsa es una presentadora alemana que ha abandonado una prometedora carrera, y el timido David es un ingles decidido a imponerse ante su dominante padre. En un verano que nunca olvidaran y bajo la discreta mirada del tabernero Andreas y de la enigmatica Vonni, una dama irlandesa cuyo dominio del griego no deja de sorprenderles, todos trataran de encontrar un camino para seguir adelante con sus vidas... aunque tal vez no sea necesariamente el que habian imaginado...La critica ha dicho...Una lectura obligatoria.

Das irische Städtchen Rossmore scheint am Ende der Welt zu liegen - und doch beherbergt es einen Schatz, zu dem viele Menschen pilgern: die Quelle der Heiligen Anna, die angeblich Wunder wirkt und durch die schon so mancher Wunsch in Erfüllung ging. Doch nun ist eine neue Straße geplant - und die Quelle soll verschwinden. Die Einwohner von Rossmore sind gespalten: Die einen glauben an die wundertätigen Kräfte der Quelle, die anderen halten das für puren Aberglauben. Selbst der junge Kaplan Brian Flynn weiß nicht, wen er unterstützen soll: die Familie von Neddy Nolan etwa, auf dessen Land die Straße verlaufen soll und dem man viel Geld als Entschädigung angeboten hat? Kaplan Brian lernt seine Schäfchen von einer völlig neuen Seite kennen, und Neddy Nolan, im Ort eher als unbedarft und bescheiden bekannt, entwickelt ungeahnte Geisteskräfte - dank der Liebe ...

The town of Rossmore is a special place, full of character charm. Nestled beside the Whitethorn Wood, the town has grown since the days when it was small and friendly and everyone knew everyone else; now it has chain stories and traffic problems and housing estates. But still, there is the Whitethorn Wood, full of spiky bushes and criss-crossed with paths; and there''s St Ann''s Well, where generations have come to pray or make wishes or just to look back at the pretty little town. Which is why there is going to be such a fuss about the plans for the new motorway. It''s going to by-pass Rossmore, cutting through the Whitethorn Wood and endangering the well itself. The new road will bring jobs and relieve traffic in the town; for others, it will destroy businesses and leave the town a backwater. The people of Rossmore are divided. There is a lot of land standing in the way of the great road of progress. Quite by accident the decision rests on Neddy Nolan - the most honest man in Rossmore. A man determined to do the right thing.
