Karina Lickorish Quinn: The River Dies Quietly, Gebunden

Klappentext

To resist is dangerous

Jessica Flores, matriarch, internationally recognised model and fierce environmental activist, dies suddenly.

Ten years on, her daughters Claudia and Jessica are living on different continents, struggling to live up to her legacy. But when plans to dam the Yurayaku River threaten the Andean valley where they grew up, they are drawn into a battle to save it and the river at its heart.

But behind the project lies a web of corruption stretching far beyond Peru. And in its wake, a trail of activists who have lost their lives. As Claudia and Jessica are pulled deeper into the fight, they uncover secrets they are unprepared to face, forcing them the question everything they thought they knew about their mother and their past.

The River Dies Quietly is a powerful story about corporate greed, the decimation of the natural world, and a family risking all to save their way of life.
