A Good Neighbourhood: The instant New York Times bestseller about star-crossed love... de Therese Anne Fowler

A Good Neighbourhood: The instant New York Times bestseller about star-crossed love...

Autor Therese Anne Fowler
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 mar 2021

Ce anume transformă o comunitate liniștită într-un spațiu al excluderii și cât de fragilă este, de fapt, iluzia bunei vecinătăți? În A Good Neighbourhood, Therese Anne Fowler ne invită să observăm fisurile unei suburbii americane aparent idilice, Oak Knoll, unde sosirea familiei Whitman declanșează un lanț de evenimente ireversibile. Notăm cu interes cum autoarea folosește un stejar istoric nu doar ca element de peisaj, ci ca simbol al rădăcinilor și al dreptului de proprietate, transformând o dispută teritorială într-o analiză tăioasă a privilegiului de clasă și a tensiunilor rasiale. Perspectiva narativă este una neconvențională: un „noi” colectiv care transformă cititorul într-un martor tăcut, dar complice, la tragedia ce se prefigurează. Cititorul care a apreciat disecția subtilă a ipocriziei suburbane din Little Fires Everywhere va găsi aici o explorare similară a modului în care prejudecățile mocnite pot mistui viețile a două familii — dar într-un context în care dragostea adolescentină devine catalizatorul unui conflict social violent. Stilul este unul evocativ, ancorat în pregătirea sociologică a autoarei, reușind să surprindă mecanismele excluderii fără a recurge la verdicte simpliste. Observăm cum ritmul narațiunii accelerează pe măsură ce idila dintre tinerii vecini se ciocnește de valorile rigide ale „banilor noi”, oferind o lectură densă despre inocență și consecințele devastatoare ale lipsei de empatie.

Recenzii

'Therese Anne Fowler has taken the ingredients of racism, justice, and conservative religion and has concocted a feast of a read: compelling, heart-breaking, and inevitable. I finished A Good Neighbourhood in a single sitting. Yes, it's that good.'
A Good Neighbourhood is my favourite kind of novel - compelling, complicated, timely, and smart. With great humanity, Therese Anne Fowler imparts a full-hearted, unflinching indictment of a broken system and in so doing tells a story hard to put down and hard to forget.
'Compelling and captivating, A Good Neighbourhood left me speechless yet wanting to discuss. This is a story that will stick with you for a long time.'
A thought provoking and gripping novel - the kind that will have you savouring every page
A gripping modern morality tale... Familiar elements - two families, two young lovers, a legal dispute - frame a story that feels both classic and inevitable. But Fowler makes the book her own with smart dialogue, compelling characters and a communal "we" narrator that implicates us all in the wrenching conclusion.
Traversing topics of love, race, and class, this emotionally complex novel speaks to-and may reverberate beyond-our troubled times
A rippling story for fans of suspenseful domestic dramas
'This page-turner delivers a thoughtful exploration of prejudice, preconceived notions, and what it means to be innocent'
An unforgettable, heart-breaking story
Prepare for tears and make sure a friend reads it too - you're going to want to talk about this book as soon as you finish it
Fowler's writing is beautiful, compelling and heartbreaking
It's the kind of book you tell your friends to read immediately, just so you have someone to talk to about it
There's no doubting this novel's power
Check out this contemporary fiction novel if you've ever found yourself wondering what it means to be a good neighbour in modern America
Fowler's novel culminates with injustices that are painfully easy to imagine because they continue to be a part of our contemporary lived experience
One of the most precise and timely novels of the year
A provocative, absorbing read
Fans of Celeste Ng's Little Fires Everywhere need to read Therese Anne Fowler's A Good Neighbourhood

Descriere

***THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER*** 'There's no doubting this novel's power' Daily Mail 'A feast of a read' Jodi Picoult _____________________________ Star-crossed love will change two families' lives forever... Therese Anne Fowler's New York Times bestselling novel is perfect for fans of Celeste Ng's Little Fires Everywhere and Mary Beth Keane's Ask Again, Yes. A forbidden romance is blossoming in the tight-knit community of Oak Knoll. No one's realised it yet - they've been too busy watching the rich, white Whitman family move into their newly built house. They've been watching Brad Whitman, with his new money and apparently traditional values, fight his neighbour over the historic oak tree dividing their properties. But what they haven't noticed is that the Whitman girl is falling in love with the biracial boy next door. It is a love that will shatter the constructs of class and race in this small town. It is a love that might destroy everything... *Therese Anne Fowler's new novel, It All Comes Down To This, is available to pre-order now* _____________________________ Praise for A Good Neighbourhood...
