      "Welcome to the family," Nina Winchester says as I shake her elegant, manicured hand. I smile politely, gazing around the marble hallway. Working here is my last chance to start fresh. I can pretend to be whoever I like. But I'll soon learn that the Winchesters' secrets are far more dangerous than my own . . .Every day I clean the Winchesters' beautiful house top to bottom. I collect their daughter from school. And I cook a delicious meal for the whole family before heading up to eat alone in my tiny room on the top floor. I try to ignore how Nina makes a mess just to watch me clean it up. How she tells strange lies about her own daughter. And how her husband Andrew seems more broken every day. But as I look into Andrew's handsome brown eyes, so full of pain, it's hard not to imagine what it would be like to live Nina's life. The walk-in closet, the fancy car, the perfect husband. I only try on one of Nina's pristine white dresses once. Just to see what it's like. But she soon finds out... and by the time I realize my attic bedroom door only locks from the outside, it's far too late. But I reassure myself: the Winchesters don't know who I really am. They don't know what I'm capable of . . .

      De langverwachte nieuwe roman van Maria Duenas Drie Spaanse zussen emigreren begin twintigste eeuw naar de VS, waar ze het restaurant van hun overleden vader overnemen. Aanvankelijk verzetten ze zich tegen de manier van leven in New York, maar algauw beseffen ze dat ze alleen kunnen overleven als ze het restaurant ombouwen tot een variétéclub. Het krijgt de naam "De dochters van de kapitein'. Ieder van de drie dochters beleeft daarbij haar eigen avonturen… De dochters van de kapitein is het fascinerende verhaal van emigranten die willen terugkeren naar hun geboorteland maar door omstandigheden gedwongen worden in het land van hun bestemming te blijven. Het is een verhaal van vallen en opstaan, van geluk en tegenspoed, van doorzetten en volhouden. En een verhaal van drie sterke vrouwen, ieder met haar eigen karakter, met samen één doel voor ogen: overleven in een bruisende stad vol vernieuwingen, en zelf opnieuw beginnen.
