![]() "Every choice a person makes takes them somewhere." Y he averiguado que hay una película, buscaré si la hacen en algún canal del satélite. La protagonista femenina me ha confundido un poco al principio, me ha parecido demasiado fría y distante, pero al final la he entendido.Įn resumen, una novela que funciona, con una técnica perfecta y que ha conseguido que ahora elija mi próxima lectura con más ganas. Me ha gustado especialmente que la señora Roberts se haya arriesgado con un protagonista que sufre una depresión y no tiene miedo de reconocerlo. ![]() La historia de amor es bonita, es lo mejor del libro, y el protagonista masculino, Nate, está muy bien construido. En este caso, el misterio se ve a venir a la mitad de la novela y creo que le da demasiadas vueltas al tema. ![]() "Aurora boreal" tiene la típica estructura de los libros de la señora Roberts y mezcla misterio con una historia de amor. Es algo así como beber una taza de té caliente (al menos para mí). ![]() ![]() Los libros de Nora tal vez no me sorprendan después de haber leído tantos, pero siempre me reconfortan. Nora Roberts es una de las autoras a las que recurro cuando acabo de leer un libro que no me ha gustado y no sé qué lectura elegir a continuación porque desconfío de mi instinto. ![]()

When a few unbearable fragments are all that we cannot unknow and when they point to all that we never will know? Adania Shibli’s third novel, Minor Detail, translated by Elisabeth Jaquette, attends to these questions with imagination and searing irony. ![]() Amichai reimagines this perhaps undue need for the recollection of details-committing to memory the kinds of clothing our loved ones last wore, for example-as an existential imperative, or that which leaves room for human individuation in the face of death’s leveling processes.

And her relationship with her twin brother is actually believable. ![]() Darcy is a bad chick that is too impulsive and wild for her own good, but I somehow like her. I really loved the fact that Tom was the good boy type with the heart of an animal because it gives him a nasty side and just spices up the story.
