Una noia ingressada a l´hospital la visita la seva mare que fa molts anys que no ha vist ( ) I can't understand how a mother and a daughter are not in touch very often, except if they hate each other (which it is not the case in the novel). Although the protagonist is hurt by a very difficult (poor and abused) childhood and maybe she wants to forget it (understandable), but to leave out all your past, and, what's more, to leave behind all your family if you have had better luck, is it fair? to the other side, when your daughter is in the hospital, can you leave her there, only because you have enough? In Catalonia, this is not believable; for us, our family is first. For me, this is not the best novel of E. Strout, although I usually love them. En una habitación de hospital en pleno centro de Manhattan, delante del iluminado edificio Chrysler, cuyo perfil se recorta al otro lado de la ventana, dos mujeres hablan sin descanso durante cinco días y cinco noches. Hace muchos años que no se ven, pero el flujo de su conversación parece capaz de detener el tiempo y silenciar el ruido ensordecedor de todo lo que no se dice. En esa habitación de hospital, durante cinco días y cinco noches, las dos mujeres son en realidad algo muy antiguo, peligroso e intenso: una madre y una hija que recuerdan lo mucho que se aman.
I was in Lucy Barton’s head from the very first page. It’s rare when this happens – when the words of a book hypnotize you. The experience doesn’t feel like reading at all. It’s like falling into someone else’s consciousness...Strout’s skill in channelling Lucy’s voice is breathtaking, especially considering it’s the first time the bestselling author of Olive Kitteridge and The Burgess Boys has written a novel in the first person....This ability to love life, to notice small kindnesses, to remember the light in the sky and across the fields rather than the horrors of her childhood home, is Lucy’s salvation. It is what we allow ourselves to see that helps us survive. My Name Is Lucy Barton confirms Strout as a powerful storyteller immersed in the nuances of human relationships, weaving family tapestries with compassion, wisdom and insight. If she hadn’t already won the Pulitzer for Olive Kitteridge, this new novel would surely be a contender.

Lucy Barton is recovering slowly from what should have been a simple operation. Her mother, to whom she hasn't spoken for many years, comes to see her. Gentle gossip about people from Lucy's childhood in Amgash, Illinois, seems to reconnect them, but just below the surface lay the tension and longing that have informed every aspect of Lucy's life: her escape from her troubled family, her desire to become a writer, her marriage, her love for her two daughters. Knitting this powerful narrative together is the brilliant storytelling voice of Lucy herself: keenly observant, deeply human, and truly unforgettable. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
