Loved and Missed
Autor Susie Boyten Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 iun 2022
Susie Boyt writes with a mordant wit and vivid style which are at their best in Loved and Missed.
When your beloved daughter is lost in the fog of addiction and you make off with her baby in order to save the day, can willpower and a daring creative zeal carry you through ?
Examining the limits, disappointments and excesses of love in all its forms, this marvellously absorbing novel, full of insight and compassion, delights as much as it disturbs.
'She takes the study of love into uncharted territory and every sentence has its depth and pleasure' Linda Grant
'I am so moved: it carries a huge emotional power... I ache for them all. Poignant, witty, lyrical and perceptive' Joan Bakewell

Recenzii
I was in the story, feeling everything. I cared about every character . . . She writes beautifully. It was a total pleasure
Always surprising - unexpected, particular, the thing you didn't know you wanted, but needed more than anything. A tender study of unrequited maternal love redeemed ultimately by the quiet glory of not giving up
She takes the study of love into uncharted territory and every sentence has its depths and pleasures
Her writing has a Keatsian belief in the holiness of the Heart's affections . . . a beautiful work of art, a page-turning narrative with wise and funny observations and dialogue . . . both heart-breaking and consoling
I am so moved: it carries a huge emotional power . . . I ached for them all. Poignant, witty, lyrical and perceptive
A novel of profound courage and consideration; every page a kaleidoscope of thoughtful insight into human frailty and complexity . . . one of the greatest visceral studies of love I have ever experienced
This beautiful tale of love, courage and compassion...captures the pain of estrangement in penetrating, haunting language... Loved and Missed is a complex, deeply moving novel about frailty and suffering. Despite all the sadness, hope remains
It's an arresting premise for Susie Boyt's thoughtprovoking seventh novel...Boyt's novel is compelling - and invites our compassion for those who may not always earn it, but still deserve it.
Boyt is both funny...and poignant...but never less than impeccably truthful, with a broad, oft breathtaking wisdom
Loved and Missed deftly sidesteps the clichés that often plague stories involving drug abuse, and it conveys the complexities of loving someone who can't love you back with remarkable delicacy.
An acute, enormously moving study of familial love, and how the bonds between a mother and child can rupture, sometimes inexplicably.
Boyt's novel is compelling-and invites our compassion for those who may not always earn it, but still deserve it
To wrest exquisite prose and engaging narrative out of a tale of pain and sorrow is the achievement of a serious novelist who has blossomed into originality and who deserves a wide audience
Boyt's writing is perceptive and emotionally powerful
I adored Susie Boyt's novel Loved And Missed, which explores what can happen when, out of the blue, addiction and dereliction arrive to wreck a family. And how goodwill, determination and encouragement can ultimately put things back together again.
Regret and joy are an indivisible duo for any mother or father, and Boyt wisely mixes them into a beautifully humane chronicle. With this exquisite devotional of a novel, she has turned the ability to find contentment in the muck of parenthood into a courageous art form
When Ruth's beloved, reckless daughter is too caught up in drugs to look after her baby, Ruth decides to make off with the child.
This time she'll get the love right.
I had that brilliant rare experience of the book being so good that I was in it and forgot I was reading. Philippa Perry
