دانلود رمان انگلیسی “اما و راز کنار دریا”

The sun was slowly sinking behind the rooftops, washing the narrow seaside street in a soft blue glow. Long shadows stretched like dark fingers across the pavement, and the houses on either side looked strangely quiet — too quiet. Even the usual sound of waves crashing in the distance seemed muffled now, like the world was holding its breath. Emma walked alone, her sandals brushing against the warm asphalt. A seagull cried somewhere far above, but otherwise, the silence was complete. She clutched the strange doll tighter in her arms — the one she’d found tangled in seaweed earlier that day. Its white hair was still damp, its gray dress stained with salt and sand. She hadn’t meant to bring it with her, not really. But somehow, she couldn’t leave it behind. There was something about it. Something unsettling. Like the way its glassy eyes always seemed to be looking — even when Emma turned away. She crossed the familiar intersection near the town square. Normally, this place buzzed with bikes and chatter, with neighbors calling greetings across fences, with kids racing scooters up and down the lanes. But now, the benches were empty. The café windows were dark. And the street… was completely deserted.
