Meet Hester. A child of dark beginnings and few words. Living a painfully sheltered existence forced upon her by reclusive parents, Hester befriends the inanimate objects in her sheltered life: Cat, Broom, Handle and Axe, who speak to her in return. When Hester's parents are forced to send her to school, the little girl is overjoyed at meeting children her own age and making her first real friend - Mary. But her pleasure is cruelly taken away from her and she returns to the overwhelming oppressiveness of home. But no one can stop Hester from growing up, and it is when innocence becomes experience that she finds the strength to take action. All she has endured in her short life culminates in a climactic moment that will change her life forever. The story told in One Foot Wrong is often dark, but the sheer blazing brilliance of Sofie Laguna's language, imagery and imagination illuminates every page and makes this novel an exhilarating, enlightening and ultimately joyous act of faith.… (altro)

CW for...almost everything: physical, emotional, and sexual abuse (including from parents), religious extremism, bullying (especially toward intellectual disability), violence, attempted suicide. I appreciated the artistry and intent of the writing, but the final product was incredibly bleak and often didn't flow well or make sense. A lot of the awful things that happened seemed to be included solely to make the main character go through as much horror as possible just for the sake of it, or for the tone of the book, or something. Everything was to such extremes that it seemed unrealistic. This was confirmed by the nonsensical actions of the people around Hester. For some reason, despite the MASSIVE FLASHING UNAMBIGUOUS RED FLAGS Hester gives, no teacher, adult, or doctor in her life calls in authorities. That, more than anything, turned me off from getting anything out of this book. ( )

Omdat het boek vanuit het perspectief van Hester is geschreven was het op de eerste pagina’s wennen aan haar vertelstijl. Ook begin je als het ware midden in het verhaal, dus het was even zoeken naar het hoe en waarom ze binnen zit. En wat er nu mis met haar is. Uiteindelijk durft ik te zeggen dat haar ouders behoorlijk gek zijn en haar op een verschrikkelijke manier behandelen waardoor Hester zelf ook niet ongeschonden uit de strijd komt. Omdat ze geen ander geluk kent in haar wereld, gaat ze vriendschappen aan met de dingen in het huis die ze dagelijks om haar heen heeft. Zo voert ze hele gesprekken met een lepel en een bijl. Dat is aan de ene kant heel triest, maar aan de andere kant ook vertederend en mooi. Bovendien is de fantasie van Hester grenzeloos, prachtig verwoord en van schitterende beeldvorming voorzien. Je droomt weg op de woorden van Hester.

Uiteindelijk gaat het niet zo goed met Hester en ook niet met de relatie van haar en haar ouders, waardoor ze haar in een inrichting laten opnemen. Het verhaal neemt dan een vreemde wending en ook dat is wennen als lezer. Je wil Hester zo graag helpen, haar beter maken, maar in plaats daarvan wordt ze weer weggestopt. Ondanks de kromme tenen die dat veroorzaakt, is het ook mooi om te lezen hoe ze op haar eigen manier een mede-patiënt weet te helpen en hoe de twee een vriendschap voor het leven aangaan.

Het verloop van het verhaal is niet al te reëel vind ik persoonlijk, maar dat boeit in dit geval niet zo. Je leeft mee met Hester en via haar vreemde hersenkronkels zie je haar wereld op een heel andere manier. Het is geen bijzonder vrolijk verhaal, vooral door de verschrikkingen die Hester moet doorstaan, maar haar fantasie en overlevingsdrang geven het verhaal een gouden randje en uiteindelijk lees je het met een glimlach uit.

Compelling read with fascinating use of language and personification. ( )

I wanted to like this book. It sounded so terrific when I put it on my wish list. However, I struggled with it. I don't know if it was the writing style or the pace of the story. I found the premise of the story quite intersting, how nurturing, or lack thereof, affects people. You also have to wonder if the protaganist was mad to begin with or if her lack of nurture made her that way. Again, the premise of the story was intriguing, but I just couldn't get into it. ( )
