I found the most intriguing part of the book to be how the main characters dealt with life's challenges/tragedies. With all the bad that happened to them - whether their own actions or results of other's actions - I felt more concerned & interested for them, rather than disapproving or judgmental. A wonderful, fast read. ( )Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Early Reviewers geschrieben. This book was a very difficult read. The characters were indeed going through something no one should have to go through, but I found them hard to like. Ben seemed to be too self absorbed and Maggie was understandable nearly unable to cope. I'd suggest to anyone who reads this to have tissues at the ready. It was not a book I would re-read, but I would for sure suggest it to others. Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Early Reviewers geschrieben. An amazing story about love, loss and resilience. Told by the perspective of both parents we delve into both of their childhoods and about the loss of their first son Nicholas. This is a dark but triumphant read. I highly recommend this book. Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Early Reviewers geschrieben. This book caught my interest at the first chapter and kept it to the very end. The characters are interesting, and the relationship between them are honest and unusual. When Billie Livingston describes who Maggie can feel Frankie nestle into her, the details make you feel it too. The loved this book, and highly recommend it to anyone that needs to escape for a while. Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Early Reviewers geschrieben.

Literature.
HTML: From acclaimed Canadian novelist Billie Livingston comes this powerful U.S. debut that unfolds over a riveting dual narrativeâ??an unforgettable story of ordinary lives rocked by hardship and scandal that follows in the tradition of Jennifer Haigh, A. Manette Ansay, and Jennifer Egan. Ben wakes up in a hospital with a hole in his head he can't explain. What he can remember he'd rather forget. Like how he'd spend nights as a limo driver for the wealthy and debauched....how he and his wife, Maggie, drifted apart in the wake of an unspeakable tragedy...how his little brother, Cola, got in over his head with loan sharks circling. Francis is an unlikely priest with a drinking problem and little interest in celibacy. A third DUI, a looming court date....When Maggie takes him in, he knows he may be down to his last chance. And his best shot at healing might lie in helping Maggie and Ben reconnectâ??against all odds. Simmering with dark humor and piercing insights, The Crooked Heart of Mercy is a startling reminder that redemption can be found in the most unlikely of places Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
