Jones has created a well-woven net of stories to give a satisfying portrait of a Santa Clara neighborhood through several generations. She nimbly switches from the perspective of children to grandparents, family to family, representing voices not usually heard in a voice respectful and raw. Each shows the trauma or challenge of a life, and each works that into the complex yet fully imagined and portrayed ecosystem of a family, a neighborhood, and a country. A joy to read, to work out the ties, and to discover with each story a different glistening moment. ( ) Extensive review: Belletrista, Issue 8 nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Composed of interconnected stories that move within and around a small Catholic community in India, this debut collection heralds the arrival of a graceful, sparkling new voice. Nine-year-old Marian Almeida covets the green dress her parents have set aside for her birthday, but when her desire gets the best of her, dangerous events ensue. Roddy D'Souza sees his long-dead father bicycling down the street, and wonders if his own life is nearing its close. Essie, having sent her son to boarding school, weighs his unhappiness against the opportunities his education will provide. With empathy and poise, Nalini Jones creates in What You Call Winter a spellbinding work of families in an uncertain world. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
