Harika harika bir okuma. Bu benim için tipik bir kitap değil. Ama tamamen bağlandım. Ana karakter Julia ile çok ilgilendim. Bence seveceğim yeni bir yazar buldum. Çok iyi yazılmış. (Keşke o sevecenlikten başka bir kelime bulmayı dilerdim. LOL) Sabahın tüm saatlerini kaldıktan sonra kitabı bitirdikten sonra çok hızlı bir şekilde 2, Yaz Kar kitabını indirdim. Son derece tavsiye ederim.
Bu hatırayı çok sevdim - yazar komik, dokunaklı ve benimle alakalı - ve seyahat yılı boyunca tarif edilen farklı insanlar ve yerler çok unutulmazdı. Bazı bölümler / deyimler / cümleler o kadar güzel yazılmıştı ki tekrar tekrar okudum.
I like this series of books and enjoy reading one every once in awhile.
As a fan of Shirley Jackson, I think I might be a bit biased. Still, I think that this is one of the best books I have ever read. This is gothic storytelling perfection! Don’t be mislead by its low page count because this novel packs quite a punch!! Living in almost complete isolation outside of a small town is the Blackwood family. Though they have lived in the same town for generations, they are now shunned because of a tragic event years ago. Mary Katherine, or Merricat, lives with her troubled sister Constance and their slightly delusional uncle Julian. When Merricat makes her journey into town, it becomes clear that she is the only family member willing to show her face outside of the house. The three relatives live in a well-developed rhythm that limits their interactions with others and therefore limits their need to talk about the tragic event from years past. When a long lost cousin appears at their house, it throws the whole family for a loop as they must confront their demons before it is too late. Jackson has never been light on the action or intrigue and this book is no exception. The family relationship is incredibly interesting and well developed. Though it took me two tries to get into the novel, I think it is only because Merricat’s character is so brilliantly created that I did not figure out she was an unreliable narrator until my second attempt. If you’re looking for mystery...here it is! If you’re looking for drama...here it is! If you’re looking for a quick and enthralling read...here it is! Here is the complete package. Go read it! www.iamliteraryaddicted.blogspot.com
