Ils passent à l'écart de la vie de leurs enfants." Ce livre démontre évidemment le contraire, autour d'une jeune fille, perdue entre deux mondes, celui des maisons et celui des roulottes qui cohabitent mais ne se mélangent pas. Dans une Irlande qui parait coupée du monde et du temps qui passe. Où les voitures doublent des roulottes tirées par des chevaux. Où les mythes anciens sont finalement ce qui relient ces deux populations. Clodagh cherche son chemin de vie. ( ) In short, Regina McBride makes me ecstatic. Her writing is amazing; so tight, so clean, so lyrical. The Nature of Water and Air was the first book of hers that I read, and remains my favorite. McBride blends elements of Irish culture, sensuality, family relationships, and a bit of myth to craft a story that is dangerously close to perfect. The twist towards the end will shatter you. A truly wonderful read. näyttää 5/5 ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

"My mother was never easy in the world of houses. She was a tinker, a traveler girl who had married a wealthy man. Her name was Agatha Sheehy....There are silences all around my mother's story." So begins The Nature of Water and Air, set on a patch of Irish coast where, amid a flurry of whispers, we meet Agatha's only surviving daughter, Clodagh. Determined to secure her mother's elusive love and the truth about her, Clodagh is swept into a relationship with a handsome, isolated man. He brings her to the heart of her mother's story, where she must confront the questions "Does a truth change love?" and "What madness will come from chasing a secret?" Powerfully sensitive, this startling debut novel about forbidden love will place Regina McBride among our most celebrated novelists. Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
