Black Rabbit Hall de Eve Chase

Black Rabbit Hall: Travel #ByBook. Penguin Summer Reading

Autor Eve Chase
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 iun 2016

Simțim, încă de la primele pagini, o atmosferă densă, aproape onirică, în care timpul pare să se dilate și să se comprime după reguli proprii. În Black Rabbit Hall, Eve Chase ne invită într-un Cornwall sălbatic, unde conacul familiei Alton devine un personaj în sine — o structură grandioasă, dar aflată în paragină, unde „niciun ceas nu arată aceeași oră”. Considerăm că forța acestui roman rezidă în dualitatea sa narativă: pe de o parte, idila verii anului 1968, zdrobită de o tragedie care forțează maturizarea celor patru copii Alton, iar pe de altă parte, căutarea contemporană a Lornei, care simte o legătură inexplicabilă cu acest loc.

Subliniem finețea cu care autoarea țese firele invizibile între aceste două epoci. Ca și The Lake House de Kate Morton, volumul explorează modul în care secretele îngropate de decenii refuză să rămână în umbră, însă Eve Chase adoptă o perspectivă mai intimă, aproape gotică, amintind de ecourile clasice ale lui Daphne du Maurier. Ritmul este unul contemplativ, lăsând spațiu cititorului să respire aerul sărat al coastei și să simtă tensiunea pasiunilor interzise care mocnesc sub aparența unei familii perfecte. Această explorare a legăturilor de sânge și a „caselor care vorbesc” continuă temele din The Vanishing of Audrey Wilde și The Glass House, consolidând stilul distinctiv al autoarei: o proză poetică ce transformă misterul într-o experiență senzorială despre pierdere și regăsire.

Despre autor

Eve Chase este o voce contemporană importantă în beletristica britanică, fiind recunoscută pentru capacitatea de a crea atmosfere captivante și mistere multi-generaționale. Lucrările sale, printre care se numără bestsellerurile The Glass House și The Vanishing of Audrey Wilde, se concentrează frecvent pe dinamica complexă a familiilor și pe secretele ascunse în vechi proprietăți rurale. Stilul său este adesea comparat cu cel al scriitorilor clasici de romane gotice, remarcându-se prin descrierile bogate ale peisajului englezesc și prin explorarea profundă a legăturilor dintre surori și mame.

Notă biografică

Eve Chase always wanted to write about families - ones that go wrong but somehow survive - and big old houses, where family secrets and untold stories seed in the crumbling stone walls. Black Rabbit Hall is such a story. Eve is married with three children and lives in Oxfordshire.

Descriere

One golden family. One fateful summer. Four lives changed forever.
Amber Alton knows that the hours pass differently at Black Rabbit Hall, her London family's country estate where no two clocks read the same. Summers there are perfect, timeless. Not much ever happens. Until, one stormy evening in 1968, it does.
The idyllic world of the four Alton children is shattered. Fiercely bonded by the tragic events, they grow up fast. But when a glamorous stranger arrives, these loyalties are tested. Forbidden passions simmer. And another catastrophe looms...
Decades later, Lorna and her fiancé wind their way through the countryside searching for a wedding venue. Lorna is drawn to a beautiful crumbling old house she hazily remembers from her childhood, feels a bond she does not understand. When she finds a disturbing message carved into an old oak tree by one of the Alton children, she begins to realise that Black Rabbit Hall's secret history is as dark and tangled as its woods, and that, much like her own past, it must be brought into the light.
A thrilling spiral into the hearts of two women separated by decades but inescapably linked by Black Rabbit Hall. A story of forgotten childhood and broken dreams, secrets and heartache, and the strength of a family's love.
