Recenzii
With wit, humanity, and extraordinary clarity of vision, Rogan has found the uniting thread that weaves together contemporary American life. Now and Again is breathtaking in its scope and insight, revealing the interconnectedness of the prison-industrial complex, mass surveillance, environmental devastation, the moral vacuity of televangelists, failures of recent US military adventures, and the brutality of life for those on the margins. This is America from the ground up, full of ordinary people trying to make sense of their lives, driven by that brand of frontier idealism that might yet be our last best hope
With consummate command of narrative, Charlotte Rogan nimbly brings together whistleblowers and soldiers in a damning-and page-turning-critique of America's military-industrial complex and its massive amount of collateral damage. It's the novel we deserve for the war we didn't
Now & Again doesn't disappoint. All the ingredients of a tense thriller with a domestic slant that got my heart involved
Dazzling layering of different people and different stories and of the leaps their minds make as they learn to open their eyes. The prose is strong, supple and sometimes infused with a magisterial rhythm that reflects the novel's commanding scope. This is a novel of the American dream, and of how that dream is shattered and betrayed
For Maggie Rayburn - wife, mother and longtime secretary at a munitions plant - life is pleasant, predictable and, she assumes, secure. When she finds proof of a high-level cover-up on her boss's desk, she impulsively takes it, an act that turns her world upside down.
Propelled by a desire to do good - and also by a newfound taste for excitement - Maggie starts to see injustice everywhere. Soon, her bottom drawer is filled with what she calls 'evidence', her small town has turned against her and she must decide how far she will go for the truth.
