Don't Look Away de Rachel Abbott

Don't Look Away

Autor Rachel Abbott
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 aug 2023

Notăm cu interes o structură narativă tensionată, construită pe alternanța dintre amintirile fragmentate ale unui incident vechi de un deceniu și realitatea brutală a prezentului. Nancy Holland se întoarce în Cornwall, la cabana mătușii sale, unde sora ei, Lola, a dispărut în urmă cu unsprezece ani. Atmosfera se schimbă brusc când un cadavru este găsit într-o peșteră, forțând-o pe Nancy să reevalueze tot ce știa despre acea vară. Găsim în această carte o perspectivă psihologică acută asupra vinei și a secretelor de familie care refuză să rămână îngropate. Ritmul este alert, dictat de descoperirea unor indicii ascunse în fotografii vechi și de sentimentul paralizant că cineva urmărește fiecare mișcare a protagonistei. Ca și The Night She Disappeared de Lisa Jewell, acest roman explorează trauma dispariției unei tinere, dar dintr-o perspectivă mult mai intimă, legată de responsabilitatea surorii rămase în urmă. În contextul operei sale, Don't Look Away rafinează temele minciunii și ale identităților duble explorate anterior în The Shape of Lies sau The Murder Game, confirmând abilitatea scriitoarei de a construi suspans în spații domestice aparent sigure. Este o piesă centrală în seria A Stephanie King Thriller, unde investigația oficială se împletește periculos cu obsesia personală.

Despre autor

Rachel Abbott s-a născut și a crescut în Manchester, Anglia, având o carieră inițială ca analist de sisteme înainte de a-și lansa propria companie de media interactivă în anii '80. După vânzarea afacerii în 2000, s-a mutat în regiunea Le Marche din Italia în 2005, unde locuiește și astăzi. Abbott a devenit o prezență constantă în topurile de vânzări internaționale, fiind recunoscută pentru măiestria cu care construiește thrillere psihologice complexe. Experiența sa în analiză se reflectă în precizia structurilor narative pe care le creează, transformând-o într-o voce autoritară a genului contemporan.

Descriere scurtă

When I open my eyes, I see my sister's pillows are still plump on the bed next to mine, her striped blanket still straight. With cold trickling down my spine, I jump up and open the closet. Her clothes are gone... Eleven years ago, my sister Lola vanished from my aunt's cottage. Now I'm back for the first time, still trying to understand why she ran away. As I go through the house, my mind fills with memories. I should have taken better care of her. If I had, she might have trusted me. What did I miss that summer? What secrets was she keeping? I pore over the photos I took, searching for answers. Lola was so angry, so secretive-laughing with her new friends on the beach, but refusing to meet my eyes. Then a body is discovered hidden in a cave below the cliffs where I walked that summer. No one knows how long it's been there, and I am forced to ask: did Lola run away at all? The police won't tell me anything. Then I come home to find my front door open, my bed made, my camera missing. Who is watching me? I won't stop until I know what happened, but am I ready to face the truth about my family? And if I learn what happened to Lola, will I be in danger too? From the first page to the last shocking twist, you won't be able to put down this heart-poundingly gripping thriller by multi-million-copy-bestselling author Rachel Abbott. Fans of Gone Girl, The Woman in the Window and Ruth Ware will love Don't Look Away. See what readers are saying about Don't Look Away: "Wow! My first Rachel Abbott book but won't be my last!...
