Beautiful and poetic writing; playful use of voice, point of view, and genre; thoughtful and thought-provoking. ( ) Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing. This is an amazing collection of intertwined stories. The lyricism and depth of characterization make this a worthwhile read, but the aspects of fantasy and reality - and how we interpret those connections - make it a perfect one for me.I would have loved to have more, but the fact that I can't say specifically what was missing means that McQuade likely hit the perfect sweet spot on what to offer her readers without overwhelming them. Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing. I enjoyed this collection of richly layered, lyrical short stories about the inner lives of a group of women. Interwoven in the stories are elements of magical realism, hinting at truths behind action, and serving as the myths (and sometimes the fairy tales) of human nature and what it is to be a woman. This is the type of collection that deserves rereading for both the masterful writing as well as the story construction and meaning. Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing. I enjoyed the first story but the rest kind of lost me. It took me awhile to figure out that each story was about one of the girls later in her life, but I kept forgetting who was who. For me, the stories would have hung together more if the events of the first story marked each girl in some way; as it was, they seemed unmarked by the tragedy of their teacher drowning. By the last two stories I was skimming, as the magical realism (which I do not relate to anyway) seemed out of place. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Infused with the keen insight of Joyce Carol Oates and haunting power of Kelly Link, a radiant collection of linked stories that explore the vulnerability, resilience, and hidden desires of women, following six girls over the course of sixty years, from their first semester at boarding school to the twilight of their lives.
