It was a lovely story that was well written, but I could have lived without reading the story. I appreciate the reason the author wrote the book but there was nothing profound about the story. It was a fast read and a lovely book to read on a rainy day. ( ) This author's prose is sublime. As several (back cover) book reviews enthuse: " she limns her tale with beautiful evocations of the loneliness of childhood [also evoking a wonderful sense of place in Scotland!] the shimmery quality of ghostly spirits, and the fear & excitement of war time" (San Francisco Chronicle Book Review) ANd "what is extraordinary about this novel is the fretwork of feeling among its unorthodox cast of characters...Livesey has written a ghost story, of sorts...and, if it moves you, the end will send you back to the beginning" (The New Yorker). We live Eva McEwen's life, moving back & forth throughout her years, slowly learning to appreciate the" 'companions' -a woman and a girl- invisible to everyone else" as they assist her, provoke her, and always re-emerge, no matter what. But is also a very Scottish story, and a WWII story, and a story of the "profound connection between mother and daughter" (back cover). Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
Premis
At Eva McEwen's birth, six magpies congregate outside the window - a bad omen. That night her mother dies, leaving her with her aunt and heartsick father - and a woman and a girl no one else can see. As Eva grows older these mysterious figures have a profound and ambiguous effect on her life. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
