Mam na imię Lucy - Elizabeth Strout

Książki & Multimedia > Książki

Opis - Najnowsza, doskonała powieść jednej z najważniejszych pisarek ostatnich lat, nagrodzonej Pulitzerem autorki powieści Olive Kitteridge, przeniesionej na ekran w serialu HBO. Powieść zachwycająco prosta i powściągliwa... Rzeczy, o których trochę wiedzieliśmy, ale nie potrafiliśmy ich wyrazić, zostały nam wreszcie wytłumaczone. Czujemy ulgę, czujemy się zrozumiani. Myślimy sobie wtedy: "To właśnie to. Tak wygląda życie". - National Public Radio Elizabeth Strout dowiodła po raz kolejny, że jest mistrzynią w tworzeniu niezapomnianych postaci. Jej opowieści otwierają się przed czytelnikiem w sposób, który wydaje mu się znajomy i może się z nimi utożsamiać, ale wtedy Strout uderza i można jedynie zachwycić się jej talentem - The Post and Courier Lucy Barton, dojrzałą kobietę, pisarkę wychowującą dwójkę dzieci, podczas przedłużającego się pobytu w szpitalu odwiedza niewidziana od lat matka. Niewinne rozmowy o ludziach z przeszłości otwierają furtkę do bolesnych wspomnień: biedy, wykluczenia i rodzinnych tajemnic. W oszczędnej narracji Strout buduje kruchą nić porozumienia pomiędzy kobietami, dla których ta niespodziewana pięciodniowa wizyta staje się najintymniejszym momentem ich relacji. Strout misternie konstruuje, wydawać by się mogło, uporządkowany świat, który na naszych oczach się rozpada. Nie znajdujemy w tym jednak dramatu, lecz cichą akceptację i zrozumienie dla ludzkich słabości.
