This was a fun read, full of tongue-in-cheek humour that may pass over the heads of younger readers, and extremely entertaining. I loved the characters, who seem to live in their own little world, and felt myself truly wanting everything to work out for them. The book reminded me a little of Adrian Mole, but Harriet leads a much more privileged lifestyle than him, even though she doesn’t seem to be aware of how lucky she is. All in all, a worthwhile read that doesn’t take much concentration and left me feeling light-hearted. In all honesty, I’m still not sure what I feel about this book. When I started it, I actually didn’t like Harriet.. her being ‘naive and overconfident’ came across to me as being rather arrogant, a trait that was actively encouraged by her family. However, as the story evolved, I began to change that opinion - I would imagine that Harriet is like most other 14 year old girls, it’s just that she’s more interested in philosophers, writing and her family, rather than boys, parties and clothes! You also realise what a loving relationship she has with her mother and nan, as they all try to come to terms with her father’s death. There’s also an interesting perception of the world of publishing.. do you really need experienced agents and publishers behind you, or rather a pushy sales person, and lots of lucky publicity?! All in all, this is an enjoyable, fun read - the humour will make you smile, but is subtle; as is Harriet’s slowly developing romance. I think most people would find something to enjoy within it. This was a delightful read - light and uplifting with touches of humour. It’s an unusual book and Harriet is a wonderful anti-hero; even during her arrogant and misguided moments you find yourself completely onside willing her to overcome the various obstacles she faces. I defy anyone not to have a favourite Harriet Rose meditation by the end of the book. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
The Infinite Wisdom of Harriet Rose is a brilliantly original and poignant novel for our time Harriet Rose, like any other teenager, is naïve, overconfident and has always felt she has something important to say. However, unlike most of her peers, her hero is Marcus Aurelius, in imitation of whom she has been composing philosophical reflections on life for some time. When Harriet's father dies, the urge to write these meditations is greater than ever. Then, on her fourteenth birthday, she receives a unique gift. Her doting mother and grandmother have had her by-now-substantial collection of meditations published. Having appointed themselves roles - Mother: publicist; Nana: sales rep; Harriet: esteemed author - they vow to get the book into the hands of a wide readership. Once this formidable team gets into gear, there's no holding back, and Harriet is hurled into a lifestyle that not even she, in all her infinite wisdom, could have been prepared for. Bookshop orders soon stack up, and Harriet is plunged into a whirlwind of launch parties, newspaper coverage and television appearances. But is all this attention exactly what she thinks? And, more importantly, can her happiness - or her naivete - last? Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
