Sinopse

The Tribe is the epic tale of a family and its history and a family in history.
The Carraches are a powerful Sephardic dynasty in the cosmopolitan city of Salonica during the dying days of the Ottoman Empire. After the Greek annexation of the city, they settle in France until, in 1940, the Nazi Occupation sends some into hiding, some into flight and others into camps. In the early 1960s, the survivors and their children confront the family's past, with long hidden secrets uncovered and deep-seated conflicts exposed, even as the Eichmann trial forces the world at large to confront the full enormity of the Holocaust.
The Tribe crosses cultures and continents in its exploration of family, race, nation and empire. As the central characters journey from adolescence through early adulthood to late middle age, they experience first loves, political and sexual awakenings, artistic triumphs, religious pressures, marital struggles, dynastic rivalries, brutal persecution, resilience and liberation, before, helped by their children, they finally achieve a degree of reconciliation both with one another and the city of their birth.

Hammond Isle was supposed to be a brief assignment, one contested restoration project on a remote corner of the Pacific, fought over by developers, land trusts, and a community of wary dreamers. Archaeologist Ethan Mallory and project manager Grace Chen arrive as adversaries, each pressured by their own side to claim the future of the island for profit or preservation. 
Neither expects to unearth the century-old secrets of Margot, a lost figure whose vanished love and coded legacy hold the key to the island’s fate. And neither is prepared for how the windswept bluffs, buried betrayals, and rising storm will bind them, first as rivals in the courtroom, then as partners in negotiation, and finally as lovers caught between the tides of history and hope. 
As Hammond becomes the flashpoint for conflict, compromise, and the possibility of healing, Ethan and Grace must decide how much of their old loyalties to risk for a new, hard-won future: for the land, for memory, and for each other. In a story alive with haunting landscapes, civic intrigue, and slow-burning romance, Where Deep Love Anchors is a celebration of place, passion, and the courage to keep building, no matter how wild the storm.
