När Stormen Kom
På sin dödsbädd berättar Rebeccas mamma för första gången om det förflutna. Om varför hon för alltid lämnade sin familj och den vackra lantegendomen i Cornwall. Rebecca bestämmer sig för att bege sig dit, och upptäcker ett fantastiskt hus, ljuvligt inbäddat i ett böljande landskap.Men Rebecca hinner knappt sätta sin fot på Boscarva förrän hon inser att saker och ting inte står rätt till. Hennes morfar, den berömde konstnären Grenville Bayliss, välkomnar henne med öppna armar, men husets övriga gäster verkar överrumplade. Det visar sig vara en plats fylld av hemligheter, och innan Rebecca vet ordet av är hon en bricka i familjens intrigspel.När stormen kom är en av Rosamunde Pilchers mest älskade klassiker, och den andra av tre som Printz ger ut 2021.
