The story is creepy and heartfelt all at once. The threads to this one moved slowly, but are so solid. I especially enjoyed the evolvement in Talia and Laurel's relationship, and just how well Laurel knew her own mind. ( ) First, Joshilyn Jackson reading her own novels is great. She has such a crazy unique way with words. She can also have me in a tense moment and then have me laughing out loud at the same moment. I liked the story OK. The main sister had a beautiful relationship with her husband. But the main sister was also convinced of something until she was convinced of something else, many times. Joshilyn's way with words though! keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

HTML:Laurel Gray Hawthorne needs to make things pretty, whether she's helping her mother make sure the literal family skeleton stays in the closet or turning scraps of fabric into nationally acclaimed art quilts. Her estranged sister Thalia, an impoverished Actress with a capital A, is her polar opposite, priding herself on exposing the lurid truth lurking behind middle class niceties. While Laurel's life seems neatly on trackâ??a passionate marriage, a treasured daughter, and a lovely home in suburban Victoriannaâ??everything she holds dear is suddenly thrown into question the night she is visited by the ghost of a her 13-year old neighbor Molly Dufresne. The ghost leads Laurel to the real Molly floating lifelessly in the Hawthorne's backyard pool. Molly's death is inexplicableâ??an unseemly mystery Laurel knows no one in her whitewashed neighborhood is up to solving. Only her wayward, unpredictable sister is right for the task, but calling in a favor from Thalia is like walking straight into a frying pan protected only by Crisco. Enlisting Thalia's help, Laurel sets out on a life-altering journey that triggers startling revelations about her family's guarded past, the true state of her marriage, and the girl who stopped swimming. Richer and more rewarding than any story Joshilyn Jackson has yet written, yet still packed with Jackson's trademarked outrageous characters, sparkling dialogue, and defiantly twisting plotting, The Girl Who Stopped Swimming is destined both to delight Jackson's loyal fans and capture a whole new Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
