Apunta't a LibraryThing per saber si aquest llibre et pot agradar. No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. Good ya book. Doesn't overly focus on eatting or lack of it. Really looks at family dynamics, friendship, growing up and the awkwardness of youth. Nicely done! ( ) This introspective novel takes you through one girls journey. At 16, Olivia Monahan is uprooted from her home when a scandal in the local church costs her father his ministry. The family retreats to the seclusion of a small Pennsylvanian town, where a host of rich characters all play part in Olivia's struggle to understand her disillusionment with Christianity and gather courage to fight the eating disorder threatening her health. This was good, it alternates between happy episodes and positive characters in Olivia's life, and the crisises brought on not only by Olivia's problems but also her friends and her families. Parts of it, especially the ending, are almost mystical. Read this one when you are in the mood for reflection. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
Distincions
Pressurized family dynamics and a dysfunctional church experience force 16-year-old Olivia to seek her own reality. For her self-image as a thinker, painter, and older sister, Olivia determines who she thinks she ought to be. Her baggy clothes and exhaustive calorie scrutiny can't cover up the fact that she is allowing her body to wither away. As Olivia encounters small town prying and a tighter-than-comfortable rental house, her escape becomes her art. And her goal becomes the impossible perfection of airbrushed magazine models. Feeling For Bones is Olivia's story as her struggles become more than physical and she is finally led to the answers she was running from all along. This story opens up a window to the thought processes and struggles of teen and college-aged women who struggle with eating disorders. Young women will find a friend who thinks like they do. And mothers will find a compatriot in the battle to help their daughters deal with body image. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
