Adira ao LibraryThing para descobrir se irá gostar deste livro. Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. Another great Maine island yarn by a newly discovered author. Kind of like Elisabeth Ogilvie with a rougher edge.....her characters that is. Ogilvie's are a bit more refined, Moore's are not. Still love the idea of island life, and thus these books strike an obsessive chord with me. This started a wee bit slow and i was not hopeful for a great read, but some intensity built and i had to sit and finish it this morning, in spite of many other things i really needed to do......the ultimate endorsement! ( ) You know how some books manage to build up such an ominous tone that you start reading with one eye squinted, just waiting for bad things to happen to good people? This was one of those for me. Honest, bitter, loving... Ruth Moore deserves all the accolades she gets for writing true books about Maine and the people in it. Really enjoyable. (It lost a star because I actually felt it was a bit unresolved for my liking at the end. I suppose that's part of the "trueness," but I can still remove a star for it if I want to.) sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
The Weir, written in 1943, takes place on a small island fishing village in the years before World War II, set against a backdrop of handwork and struggle. Ruth Moore, one of the great regional novelists of the twentieth century, brilliantly and authentically captures not only the specific characteristics of coastal Maine, but chronicles universal human drama as the two primary families feud, gossip, and struggle all while being battered by the relentless tides of change sweeping over their community and their entire way of life. This reissue of Ruth Moore's debut novel includes a new introduction. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
