Rezensionen
the story teller von Arthur Reid
This book was slightly predictable but not bad. It was a good piece of fiction; and I don't read a lot of fiction. I think I was drawn to this book at the local library book sale because of the focus on main character Steven King (no, not that Stephen King), who also is an author.
Hopelessly dated examples of trite sayings by 90s successful folk. A generous 3 stars.
The town of Ripton Falls, where the Richardson family comes to settle, is idyllic: nestled in the Berkshires, it boasts a stunning village green, large old houses, and a breathtaking setting. It is perfect for Hal and Judy Richardson and their nine-year-old daughter, Annie. Recruited overnight from a frustrating job in Los Angeles by the Hilliards, Ripton Falls' oldest family, they and several other families join the Hilliards' privately owned firm in what seems a stroke of good luck. They are happier than they have been in years.
But then the accidents begin. None is fatal, and some are so slight as to seem frivolous. It is Judy Richardson who first notices the disturbing and unmistakable pattern emerging as one by one the children of the new families are singled out. An obscure reference to a centuries-old legend begins to take on meaning for her--a legend about seven other children, children apparently so evil that the town had to erase from its history all record of their existence. As July and Hal's suspicions grow, speculation turns to realization and then to horror: They have been brought to Ripton Falls for a specific reason and for one reason and for one reason only: for their daughter, Annie.… (mehr)
