The Things We Cannot Say: The Million-Copy-Selling heartbreaking, inspiring novel of a love to defy all odds in World War Two
Autor Kelly Rimmeren Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 oct 2019
Observăm cum prima imagine care prinde contur în paginile acestui roman este cea a unei tinere rostindu-și jurămintele de nuntă într-o tabără de refugiați din 1942, un act de speranță fragilă sub umbra războiului. În „The Things We Cannot Say”, Kelly Rimmer construiește o punte emoțională între Polonia rurală, unde Alina Dziak așteaptă întoarcerea logodnicului ei, Tomasz, și prezentul în care Alice încearcă să descifreze misterul tăcerii bunicii sale. Considerăm că forța narațiunii rezidă în modul în care autoarea alternează ritmul: pe de o parte, tensiunea lentă și sufocantă a ocupației naziste, iar pe de altă parte, frenezia vieții moderne, unde Alice navighează provocările creșterii unui fiu cu autism.
Stilul este contemplativ și profund empatic, evitând spectacolul gratuit al violenței în favoarea explorării traumelor intergeneraționale. Dacă Lilac Girls v-a captivat prin portretizarea rezilienței feminine în fața atrocităților, această carte extinde experiența în direcția intimității familiale și a modului în care secretele nespuse modelează identitatea descendenților. Recomandăm atenție la detaliile istorice riguros cercetate, care transformă satul polonez într-un personaj colectiv marcat de frică și trădare. Față de lucrările sale anterioare mai centrate pe romantism, precum Undone, Kelly Rimmer atinge aici o maturitate literară deosebită, ancorând trama în fapte istorice dureroase, dar necesare.

Recenzii
I couldn't put it down ... I got teary eyed quite a few times. It's a beautiful story
A celebration of love ...I was devastated when it ended
I loved When I Lost You, it was full of deep raw emotion and had me hooked until the end
I fell in love with this amazing book after the first sentence and would read it all over again. A wonderful mixture of emotions, real love, secrets, laughter and sadness
I was hooked right from the start, and it was just the most beautiful portrayal of falling in love I've ever read. It's the type of love you dream of and want for yourself... Kelly Rimmer has done an outstanding job with Me Without You, it's engaging, it warmed my heart to the very core, and then tore it out and stomped all over it. ... Me Without You is an unforgettable tale that I couldn't recommend more. 5/5
Me Without You is the beautiful, moving story of Callum and Lilah and they turned me into a complete emotional wreck. I loved the banter and the chemistry between them both right from the first, brilliant chapter and then as the book went on, it warmed and broke my heart all at the same time... It's an incredible novel
It's been a while since I've read a book that made me 'ugly cry'. You know what I mean... big, fat tears rolling down your cheeks leaving you with eyes so puffy you look like you've had an allergic reaction. Think Claire Danes in... well... pretty much any role she's ever been in. Kelly Rimmer's Me Without You certainly broke that dry spell... a heartbreaker of a book that has great characters and a gut-wrenching ending that left me feeling a weird mix of bereft and yet hopeful
There's not much I can say without giving the story away, other than how much I adore Callum and Lilah. Their love story is so genuine and heartfelt... This book is beautifully written, and I found myself highlighting like crazy throughout. I highly recommend this book, but I must warn you, it's one that will make you cry
Inspired by the author's family history, a searing page-turner of war, family secrets and a love to defy all odds.
