Sobre l'autor
Ann Hood was born on December 9, 1956, in West Warwick, R.I. She attended the University of Rhode Island and New York University. For several years, she worked as a flight attendant before pursuing her dream of becoming a writer. Ann Hood had a dream of writing ever since her first "novel" at the mostra'n més age of 11. It was not until 1987, with the publication of Somewhere off the Coast of Maine that she received the recognition she had been longing for. Set in the period from the 1960s to the 1980s, the story deals with the lives of three women of the Vietnam era and their children. Strong on emotion and personal growth, Hood's writing frequently examines the intricacies of various levels of relationships. Other works include Something Blue, which also involves the association between three friends. (Bowker Author Biography) mostra'n menys

The Stolen Child: A Novel de Ann Hood
Enzo has a difficult choice to make when he meets a young woman while in the trenches during the war in the countryside of France. She leaves her new born baby in his care. The choice he does make haunts him his entire life and he tries to make amends by going back to see if her can find out what happened to the baby. Great read. Loved this book.
Between 3 and 4 stars. I enjoyed the basic plot about a recently divorced woman trying to get used to her new life and make new friends by joining a book club. I enjoyed the parts from her daughters POV. What I did not enjoy was the actual book club. I thought the literary discussion seemed forced and took away from the flow of the novel.
I thought some characters felt real like Ava and Maggie but many others seem oddly stiff and formal. I also have mixed feelings about the ending. I liked the concept of it but I find the actual behavior of the people at the very end extremely strange.… (més)

Searing, heartbreaking. And beautiful and ultimately life-affirming.
