Forgive

Jenni Daiches

Sinossi

Ruth has lived at Netherburn, her home in the remote moors of Scotland, ever since she was a small child. It's a home with a history, and, having seen her own children grow up and move on, Ruth is trying to make sense of it all. From her Father's death, to her ex-husband leaving and her lack of contact with her sons. But she's not alone with her thoughts: her empty house has become lively once again as various people - with equally complicated pasts - come to lodge at Netherburn, and Ruth finds herself helping them through their pain; some of which won't stay in the past. Forgive is the story of Ruth, and those living at Netherburn, as they live their lives and try to move on. But the question always looms for Ruth, what does it mean to forgive?

Cristiano Gentili

In Africa, her color is a curse. But what if it’s also the key to her survival?
On the sun-drenched shores of a remote Tanzanian island, a baby is born—a child unlike any other. Her skin is seen as an omen of misfortune, a sign of evil. Her father turns away in horror. Her mother collapses in despair. The village elders whisper of ancient customs: such a child must not live.
But one woman refuses to accept fate. Nkamba, the child’s grandmother, defies tradition and claims the baby as her own. She names her Adimu—the rare one. Yet, in a land where belief carries more power than truth, Adimu’s survival is a fragile thing. She is hunted not only by superstition but by those who see her as something even more sinister—a prize.
Meanwhile, across the island, Charles and Sarah Fielding—a wealthy British couple seeking refuge from their own past—become entangled in a story they do not yet understand. As desperation leads to unthinkable choices, their world collides with Adimu’s in a way that will change them all.
A child marked for death. A grandmother who dares to fight. A society where the color of your skin can seal your fate.
Then She Was Born is a spellbinding novel of resilience, love, and the courage to defy destiny. Inspired by real events.
