Wrong Place Wrong Time de Gillian McAllister

Wrong Place Wrong Time

Autor Gillian McAllister
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 21 ian 2025

La suprafață, Wrong Place Wrong Time pare cronica unei tragedii domestice iremediabile: o mamă își privește fiul comițând o crimă violentă sub ochii ei. Însă, odată ce soarele răsare, cititorul descoperă o realitate imposibilă. Nu este ziua de după, ci ziua de dinainte. Timpul curge invers. Observăm cu înfrigurare cum Jen este aruncată într-o cursă contra cronometru prin propriul trecut, căutând cu disperare indiciul care a declanșat dezastrul. Ritmul este alert, sacadat, mimând panica unei mame care vede cum viitorul copilului ei se evaporă cu fiecare secundă. În tradiția lui A. G. Riddle din Lost in Time, acest roman reimaginează misterul clasic printr-o lentilă metafizică, transformând regretul în motor narativ. Remarcăm cum Gillian McAllister rafinează aici obsesia ei pentru alegerile limită, temă centrală și în That Night sau How to Disappear. Dacă în lucrările anterioare accentul cădea pe secretele care distrug familii, aici autoarea folosește structura ingenioasă a timpului recursiv pentru a diseca însăși natura vinovăției. Stilul este precis, fără înflorituri inutile, concentrat pe tensiunea psihologică și pe detaliile banale care, privite retrospectiv, capătă semnificații sinistre. Este un hibrid surprinzător între romanul polițist procedural și speculația temporală, păstrând totodată o ancoră emoțională puternică în relația mamă-fiu.

You can’t believe it when you see him do it: your funny, happy teenage son, he kills a stranger, right there on the street outside your house. You don’t know who. You don’t know why. You only know your son is now in custody, his future shattered.

Recenzii

“Absolutely AMAZING. The plot is astonishing—original and ingenious. But it’s much more than that; the love Jen has for her son and her husband is beautiful. The stakes are so high because they’re so meaningful.”  — Marian Keyes, internationally bestselling author
“A brilliantly genre-bending, mind-twisting answer to the question How far would you go to save your child?”  — Ruth Ware, #1 New York Times bestselling author
“A high-concept mash-up of different genres that transcends its wackadoodle premise with an affecting portrayal of a family careening toward crisis… But the science isn’t the point of this twisty book by a writer with a fine grasp of the subtleties of familial dysfunction. The story becomes unexpectedly tender as Jen moves further back in time, in awe of the youth she let slip by so easily, and shocked by how much she did not know.”
— New York Times
“Another ingeniously plotted genre-bender… McAllister succeeds in making us care, and the result is a tour de force.”  — The Guardian (UK)
"A work of such genius it leaves you in awe. Wrong Place, Wrong Time is impossibly clever, daringly original and heart-rending. Exceptional." — Chris Whitaker, New York Times bestselling author

"McAllister gives readers a chance to solve the crime from a refreshing new perspective while also providing elegant insights into how one creates one’s past and confronts “friendships and addresses and life phases that feel endless but never, never last.” Assured prose more than compensates for the pat ending. This entertaining look at motherhood and memory will resonate with many." — Publishers Weekly

“If Jodi Picoult wrote thrillers, they would look like this.”  — Rosamund Lupton
