The Cry de Helen Fitzgerald

The Cry

Autor Helen Fitzgerald
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 1900

Găsim în The Cry o explorare viscerală a fragilității umane în fața unei tragedii de neconceput. Vocea narativă a lui Helen FitzGerald nu se mulțumește să descrie mecanismele unei anchete, ci pătrunde adânc în psihologia izolării, folosind peisajul arid al Australiei ca fundal pentru o dezintegrare emoțională lentă. Premisa este una care îngheață sângele oricărui părinte: un bebeluș dispare de pe marginea unui drum pustiu, iar ceea ce urmează nu este doar o căutare fizică, ci o prăbușire în abisul minciunilor și al reproșurilor reciproce dintre Joanna și Alistair. Apreciem modul în care autoarea construiește tensiunea nu prin răsturnări de situație artificiale, ci prin acumularea tăcerilor și a suspiciunilor care transformă spațiul domestic într-un câmp de luptă. Atmosfera te trimite cu gândul la What She Knew, de Gilly Macmillan, deși focalizarea lui FitzGerald pe dilema morală și pe modul în care mass-media transformă suferința în spectacol marchează o voce proprie, mult mai incisivă. În contextul operei sale, dacă în Keep Her Sweet explorăm violența izolării rurale, în The Cry miza este mult mai intimă și, totodată, mai globală prin prisma judecății publice. Experiența de lectură este una densă, marcată de un ritm psihologic care te obligă să privești spre adevăruri inconfortabile despre vinovăție și supraviețuire.

Despre autor

Helen FitzGerald este o autoare britanică de succes, recunoscută pentru abilitatea de a infuza thrillerele sale cu o profunzime psihologică rară. Înainte de a se dedica scrisului, a lucrat timp de zece ani ca ofițer de eliberare condiționată și asistent social, experiență care îi conferă o autoritate incontestabilă în portretizarea sistemului de justiție și a comportamentului uman în condiții de stres extrem. Stilul său, adesea descris ca fiind întunecat și provocator, se regăsește și în alte lucrări notabile precum Worst Case Scenario sau Keep Her Sweet.

Descriere scurtă

Longlisted for the Theakstons Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year Award, Helen FitzGerald's acclaimed psychological thriller brings a parent's worst nightmare to vivid life. Taut, dark, and emotional, The Cry follows the story of a missing baby and the investigation that thrusts his mother and father into the spotlight-and threatens to reveal the unthinkable.

On a grueling flight from Glasgow to Australia, Joanna copes with what most mothers dread: a newborn that will not stop crying. Ill herself, Joanna tries to soothe baby Noah to no avail, and to the consternation of her fellow passengers. Alistair is finally able to settle his son, but not too long before they have to disembark and begin a long drive to Melbourne.

When Noah mysteriously disappears after the couple stops along a lonely roadside, the criminal inquiry becomes a white-hot, global media sensation. As the focus on them intensifies, lies, rumour and innuendo spread, and Joanna and Alistair slowly begin to turn on each other. Someone is hiding the truth. But will knowing the truth bring Noah back?

Readers call Helen FitzGerald "dark, clever, highly inventive" (Lovereading.co.uk). Filled with stunning twists and all-too-realistic scenes from a relationship in crisis, The Cry offers gripping suspense and emotional drama that will keep you guessing all the way to its shocking finish.

Recenzii

Exceptional ... this powerful noir tale is by turns devastating and uplifting. Chris Ewan, author of Safe House 'Astonishingly good. It is utterly harrowing, completely plausible, constantly nerve-shredding ... It plays on the deepest, darkest fears of all parents about their children, and embeds that everyday terror in a plot so up-to-the-minute that you'll swear it's been lifted from the pages of a newspaper ... The Cry is a remarkable novel - its devastating power all the stronger for its realistic rendering. Brilliant stuff.' Doug Johnstone, Independent on Sunday The Cry really is extraordinary. In a just universe, it will be [Helen FitzGerald's] Gone Girl moment. Read it at once. Steve Mosby A book you find yourself greedily gulping down. Herald It is not until the final pages and after twist upon twist that we are finally given a punch in the stomach, an ending that still leaves a question. Did she or didn't she? Is she mad or not? You've got to read this inventive domestic drama to find out. Highly recommended, read it and then all her others, particularly The Donor. She is very special. lovereading.co.uk An incredible read. I couldn't put it down. A beautifully crafted, heartbreaking story. Lisa O'Donnell 'THE CRY is excellent; unsettling and filled with moral ambiguity. Go read her. Now.' Russel D McLean This book takes a nightmare scenario and wrings every last drop of suspense out of it. It's gut wrenching in places, heart breaking in others, a purely visceral experience like very few other crime novels I can think of ... The Cry has been packaged to appeal to fans of Sophie Hannah and Julia Crouch - those doyennes of domestic noir - and while FitzGerald's style is more streamlined, darker and earthier, I think those fans will do well to add her to their must-read lists. 2013 has already proved to be a strong year for psychological fiction but The Cry is without question the best yet. -- Eva Dolan Crime Fiction Lover
