ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A Reese's Book Club pick An instant New York Times bestseller "This is an absolute, can't-put-it-down thriller. . . . It's truly a wild ride that had me flying through chapter after chapter--which I think is the perfect way to kick off your year of reading."--Reese Witherspoon (Reese's Book Club Pick January 2023) Armed with only hazy memories, a woman who long ago witnessed her friend's sudden, mysterious death, and has since spent her life trying to forget, sets out to track down answers. What she uncovers, deep in the woods, is hardly to be believed. . . . Maya was a high school senior when her best friend, Aubrey, dropped dead in front of the enigmatic man named Frank whom they'd been spending time with all summer. Seven years later, Maya lives in Boston with a loving boyfriend and is kicking the secret addiction that has allowed her to cope with what happened years ago, the gaps in her memories, and the lost time that she can't account for. But her past comes rushing back when she comes across a recent YouTube video in which a young woman suddenly keels over and dies in a diner while sitting across from none other than Frank. Plunged into the trauma that has defined her life, Maya heads to her Berkshires hometown to relive that fateful summer--the influence Frank once had on her and the obsessive jealousy that nearly destroyed her friendship with Aubrey. At her mother's house, she excavates fragments of her past and notices hidden messages in her deceased Guatemalan father's book that didn't stand out to her earlier. To save herself, she must understand a story written before she was born, but time keeps running out, and soon, all roads are leading back to Frank's cabin. . . . Utterly unique and captivating, The House in the Pines keeps you guessing about whether we can ever fully confront the past and return home.

Relvastatud kõigest ähmaste mälestustega, asub naine, kes nägi aastate eest pealt sõbranna mõistatuslikku äkksurma ja on püüdnud sellest ajast saati juhtunut unustada, otsima vastuseid. Ta suudab hädavaevu uskuda, mida ta metsasügavusest leiab...Maya oli abiturient, kui tema südamesõbranna Aubrey varises surnult maha mõistatusliku mehe Franki jalge ette, kellega Maya oli tol suvel käinud.Seitse aastat hiljem elab Maya Bostonis koos armastava poiss-sõbraga ja proovib vabaneda salasõltuvusest, mis aitab tal toime tulla aastatetaguse juhtumi, mälulünkade ja kaotatud ajaga, mille ajal toimunut ta ei suuda meenutada. Aga minevik naaseb mühinal, kui Maya juhtub YouTube'is nägema videot, kus noor naine bistroos ootamatult kokku kukub ja sureb, istudes laua taga mehe vastas, kes pole keegi muu kui Frank. Sukeldudes aastatetagusesse traumasse, mis määras tema edasise elusaatuse, sõidab Maya tagasi kodulinna Berkshire'is, et elada taas läbi too saatuslik suvi - võim, mis Frankil kunagi tema üle oli, ja kinnismõtteks saanud armukadedus, mis oleks äärepealt hävitanud tema sõpruse Aubreyga.Ema majas meenuvad Mayale minevikukillud ja ta märkab varjatud sõnumeid guatemalalasest isa raamatus, mis olid tal varem kahe silma vahele jäänud. Oma elu päästmiseks peab Maya mõistma enne tema sündi kirja pandud lugu, aga aeg hakkab otsa saama ja kõik teed viivad tagasi Franki majja...Ainulaadne ja lummav, hoiab romaan "Maja männikus" meid põnevil ja paneb küsima, kas suudame õigupoolest oma minevikule julgelt silma vaadata ja koju tagasi pöörduda või mitte.

Nuku hyvät yöunet, koska herätessäsi tätä taloa ei enää oleMayan mielessä kummittelee yhä talo, joka on syvällä metsässä niin tiheän puuston seassa, että se jää helposti huomaamatta. Hän on käynyt talossa viimeksi kesällä, jolloin hän oli seitsemäntoista. Silloin, kun hänen paras ystävänsä Aubrey kuoli ja Mayan maailma hajosi.Mayan silmissä tuo talo oli idyllinen kuin satuun kuuluva paikka, mutta nyt hän tietää vaaran, joka vaanii sen nurkissa. Mayan muistikuvat tuolta kesältä ovat hatarat, mutta yhden asian hän tietää varmasti: sen, kuka murhasi Aubreyn. Hän tietää vaikkei kukaan uskoisikaan häntä.Nyt, seitsemän vuotta myöhemmin, toinen nainen hänen kotiseudullaan on kuollut samalla selittämättömällä tavalla kuin Aubrey. Maya tietää, että vain hän voi selvittää totuuden ja pelastaa seuraavan viattoman tytön hengen. Mutta sen tehdäkseen hänen on palattava takaisin. Takaisin metsään, takaisiin taloon puiden suojassa...Ana Reyes valmistui kirjoittamisen maisteriksi Louisianan yliopistosta ja työskenteli käsikirjoitusten parissa ennen kuin päätti ryhtyä kirjailijaksi. Nykyään hän asuu Los Angelesissa aviomiehensä kanssa ja opettaa luovaa kirjoittamista iäkkäille ihmisille Santa Monica Collegessa. Amerikkalaisista ja guatemalalaisista juurista inspiroitunut Talo puiden suojassa on Reyesin esikoisromaani.
