First because the ending is cheesy and American, even if it is creative and touching. Second, because this cool collection of short stories highlighting the foibles and complications of so many of the townspeople which are tied together by the mystery of Daisy's disappearance come to nothing. There is no sudden ah-ha! moment of clues coming together or profound links between the stories, there is just a lot of messed up people living in a tiny town that gets hit by a destructive tornado in the end, and people keep in living. The build-up of a great story plateaus too early and without a climax. Not horrible, but not up to its potential. Daisy’s disappearance is big news in her small town and as each person that knew her shares their narrative of what they thought happened; what unfolds is a beautiful, raw and hopeful portrait of a town and its people searching for atonement amid the bitterness of loss. A hauntingly dark and powerful debut.

""Dark and dangerous and strange and wonderful...Kennedy writes with the gritty poetry of Daniel Woodrell and misfit sensibility of Flannery O'Connor." --Benjamin Percy Five-year-old Daisy Gonzalez's father is always waiting for her at the bus stop. But today, he isn't, and Daisy disappears. When Daisy goes missing, nearly everyone in town suspects or knows something different about what happened. And they also know a lot about each other. The immigrants who work in the dairy farm know their employers' secrets. The hairdresser knows everything except what's happening in her own backyard. And the roadkill collector knows love and heartbreak more than anyone would ever expect. They are all connected, in ways small and profound, open and secret. By turns unsettling, dark, and wry, Kennedy's powerful voice brings the town's rich fabric to life. Tornado Weather is an affecting portrait of a complex and flawed cast of characters striving to find fulfillment in their lives - and Kennedy brilliantly shows that there is nothing average about an average life"-- Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

AST chapter was especially sweet, though some may think it too much ( )
