Book summary

This collection brings together thirteen stories by the Irish-American writer Donn Byrne. In the title story, a former Broadway dancer is tried in New York for a murder committed ten years earlier. The policeman who brought her back from the South Seas tells the court how a shipwreck changed her.

The other stories travel from Ireland to the Andes, from the streets of New York to the biblical times of Delilah and the Queen of Sheba: each story opens a different world.

Lively and moving, they can be read one by one, at your own pace, in the language you are learning.

The plot

Veranderd door een onbewoond eiland. In New York staat Anna Janssen terecht voor een moord van tien jaar geleden. Sterk en gebruind lijkt ze niet meer op de danseres van vroeger.

The world of the book

Dertien verhalen, van Ierland tot de Andes. Na twaalf jaar in Amerika keert een man terug naar de boerderij van zijn jeugd, aan zee.
