I finished this one, but wondered why I did - it was so weird, and also had nothing but unlikable characters: sisters Helen and Rachel McAllister, descendants of the even more unlikable founder of the fictional remote silk manufacturing town of Roam, Elijah McAllister. There's also a number of benign ghosts in this fantasy. ( ) I was immediately engaged by the playful language and whimsical characters and setting. Wallace is a joy to read. The novel is well-written and encourages the reader to consider those they have loved, yet wronged in the past. Nobody is innocent in this book. In the end, we all have done things we aren't proud of. This book read like fairy tell, about two sisters, one blind and beautiful and the other healthy and ugly. Of course they begin to go against each other and we discover that the ugly sister has been misleading the blind one. And then the secondary characters, good lord I needed a glossary to keep up with them and their long, boring parts of the novel. It's okay for a quick read, but kind of leaves you bummed out at the end. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Fiction.
Literature.
HTML: Helen and Rachel McCallister, who live in a town called Roam, are as different as sisters can be: Helen older, bitter, and conniving; Rachel beautiful, naïveâ??and blind. When their parents die an untimely death, Rachel has to rely on Helen for everything, but Helen embraces her role in all the wrong ways, convincing Rachel that the world is a dark and dangerous place she couldn't possibly survive on her own ... or so Helen believes, until Rachel makes a surprising choice that turns both their worlds upside down. In this new novel, Southern literary master Daniel Wallace returns to the tradition of tall tales and folklore made memorable in his bestselling Big Fish. The Kings and Queens of Roam is a wildly inventive, beautifully written, and big-hearted tale of family and the ties that bind. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
