I want to be awful. I want to do awful things and why not? Dull is dull is dull is my life. Like now, it's night, not yet time for bed but too late to be outside, and the two of them reading reading reading with their eyes moving like the lights inside a copy machine. When I was helping put the dishes in the washer tonight, I broke a plate. I said sorry Ma it slipped. But it didn't slip, that's how I am sometimes, and I want to be worse. Awful is easy if you make it your one and only. Fear doesn't come naturally to Mathilda Savitch. She prefers to look right at the things nobody else can bring themselves to mention: for example, the fact that her beloved older sister is dead, pushed in front of a train by a man who is still on the loose. But after a year of spying and provocations, she's no closer to the truth than she was the day it happened. When Mathilda finally cracks Helen's e-mail password, a secret life opens up, one that swiftly draws her into a world of clouded motives and strange emotion. Somewhere in it lies the key to waking her family up from their dream of grief. To cross into that underworld and see what her sister saw, she has to risk everything that matters to her.… (altro)

    Lo strano caso del cane ucciso a mezzanotte di Mark Haddon (DeDeNoel)
    DeDeNoel: A novel about a boy on a mission, much like Mathilda Savitch is about a girl on a mission. Curious Incident is much, much better.

Admittedly gripping but just incredibly sad. Huge bummer. Will make you real uncomfortable. If you’re looking for a light/fun read this ain’t it. ( )

I mostly enjoyed this book but like many reviewers, I felt let down by the ending. ( )

Mathilda is een dertienjarig meisje. Haar zus Helene is een jaar eerder overleden; onder een trein gekomen. Haar ouders zijn onaanspreekbaar, 'zombies' noemt ze hen. Mathilda heeft haar eigen strategie ontwikkeld om met het verlies om te gaan; ze ziet en zegt dingen waar anderen niets van willen weten en die niet stroken met de werkelijkheid.
Ze besluit uit te zoeken wat haar zus in haar laatste levensmaanden is overkomen.
Ik vond het een prachtig boek; heb er echt van genoten. De wereld door de ogen van een dertienjarige; als ik mijn dagboek uit die tijd lees, herken ik menige gedachte over leerkrachten, verliefd zijn, onzekerheden en de haat-liefdeverhouding met je ouders.
Het verhaal is spannend; wat is er nu echt gebeurd? En het heeft vaak een glimlach op mijn gezicht getoverd.
Aanrader! ( )

Sadder than the cover copy would lead you to believe (darkly comic? half right!). The writing itself is beautiful, though. ( )

I can't even dignify this boring-ass book with a review. ( )

With its utterly captivating voice, brisk plot and timely but lasting philosophical investigations, Mathilda Savitch is one of the strongest debut novels to arrive in decades.
