I received this as a Librarything giveaway but it came as CD's not a digital audiobook as listed so I have not been able to listen to it. I'm still working on a way to get it to my digital library and will write more if I do.Tämä arvostelu kirjoitettiin LibraryThingin Varhaisia arvostelijoita varten. I had a hard time following the storyline on the audiobook Tämä arvostelu kirjoitettiin LibraryThingin Varhaisia arvostelijoita varten. I received the audiobook version of this novel from LibraryThing's Early Reviewers program. It's hard to say whether or not it was the format, but I just couldn't get into this novel. I listened to the opening twice and thought it was awkward. The principal narrative flowed better, but I found that the narration just didn't keep my attention. After a couple of hours of listening, I put this one aside.Tämä arvostelu kirjoitettiin LibraryThingin Varhaisia arvostelijoita varten. A dark, raw story of growing up in a poverty stricken area of the Pacific Northwest where there are few options for escape. Despite the dark subject, Peterson’s writing (and Cassanda Campbell’s narration on the audiobook) is lyrical and absorbing.My thanks to the publisher and LibraryThing’s Early Reviewers program for allowing me to listen to this gorgeous audiobook. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

Vera Violet recounts the dark story of a rough group of teenagers growing up in a twisted rural logging town. There are no jobs. There is no sense of safety. But there is a small group of loyal friends, a truck waiting with the engine running, a pair of boots covered in blood, and a hot 1911 pistol with a pearl grip. Vera Violet O'Neel's home is in the Pacific Northwest-not the glamorous scene of coffee bars and craft beers, but the hardscrabble region of busted pickups and broken dreams. Vera's mother has left, her father is unstable, and her brother is deeply troubled. Against this gritty background, Vera struggles to establish a life of her own, a life fortified by her friends and her hard-won love. But the relentless poverty coupled with the twin lures of crystal meth and easy money soon shatter fragile alliances. Her world violently torn apart, Vera flees to St. Louis, Missouri. There, alone in a small apartment, she grieves for her broken family, her buried friends, and her beloved, Jimmy James Blood. In this brilliant, explosive debut, Melissa Anne Peterson establishes herself as a fresh, raw voice, a writer to be reckoned with. Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
