Five Hundred Miles From You: From the bestselling author of feel-good romance: Kirrinfief
Autor Jenny Colganen Limba Engleză Hardback – 28 mai 2020
Vocea narativă din acest roman se distinge printr-o dualitate melancolică, reușind să echilibreze trauma profesională cu speranța regăsirii de sine. Apreciem modul în care Jenny Colgan construiește o punte de legătură între două lumi contrastante: efervescența sufocantă a Londrei și liniștea izolată a satului scoțian Kirrinfief. În centrul poveștii stau Lissa, o asistentă medicală marcată de un incident traumatic, și Cormac, un fost medic militar care nu își găsește locul în civilie. Cei care au parcurs The Endless Beach de Jenny Colgan vor fi pregătiți pentru atmosfera specifică a malurilor scoțiene, însă aici autoarea adaugă o profunzime emoțională sporită prin explorarea stresului post-traumatic.
Merită menționat că structura narativă se bazează pe schimbul de experiențe prin emailuri, o metodă care permite cititorului să asiste la o vulnerabilizare treptată a personajelor. Această formă de comunicare la distanță amintește de farmecul clasic al epistolarului, adaptat erei digitale. Credem că acest volum se situează într-o zonă mai matură a operei autoarei, comparativ cu tonul ludic din Christmas at the Cupcake Café. Dacă în lucrări precum The Secret Christmas Library accentul cădea pe descoperirea trecutului, în Five Hundred Miles From You accentul este pus pe reconstrucția prezentului. Ritmul este unul așezat, oferind spațiu de reflecție asupra modului în care mediul înconjurător ne influențează sănătatea mintală și perspectivele asupra fericirii.

Lissa loves her job as a nurse, but recently she's been doing a better job of looking after other people than looking after herself. After a traumatic incident at work leaves her feeling overwhelmed, she agrees to swap lives with someone in a quiet village in Scotland.
Cormac is restless. Just out of the army, he's desperately in need of distraction, and there's precious little of it in Kirrinfief. Maybe three months in London is just what he needs.
As Lissa and Cormac warm to their new lives, emailing back and forth about anything and everything, finally things seem to be falling into place. But each of them feel there's still a piece missing. What - or who - could it be?
And what if it's currently five hundred miles away?
