Lädt ... The Mysteriesvon Marisa Silver
![]() Books Read in 2021 (1,967) Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch. ![]() ![]() 3.5 Miggy is a seven year old force of nature. She is curious, fearless, determined, strong willed and easily bored. She is like a whirlwind, flinging herself from one activity to the next. An only child indulged by her father, slightly less so by her mother, she is off putting to other children. Until one day at a dance class taught by her mother, she meets Ellen. Ellen is the perfect foil, quiet, calm, willing to indulge Miggy, follow her every lead. They are bet friends. One day though Ellen makes her own wishes, thoughts known, a day that will result in a terrible accident. Now, grief and guilt will enter their lives. The writing, prose is wonderful, strongest when it centers on the girls. This is also the strongest part of the story, the adult world, relationships didn't have, for me, the same impact. A novel very much about relationships and the mysteries within, child, adult in different manifestations. How does one get over something that leaves a hole, not just in a family but in ones own being? ARC from Edelweiss. Zeige 3 von 3 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

HTML:From the New York Times bestselling author of Mary Coin, a masterful, intimate story of two young girls, joined in an unlikely friendship, whose lives are shattered in a single, unthinkable moment. Miggy Brenneman is a wild and reckless seven-year-old with a fierce imagination, hellbent on pushing against the limits of childhood. Ellen is polite, cautious, and drawn to her friend's bright flame. While the adults around them adjust to unstable times and fractured relationships, the girls respond with increasingly dangerous play. When tragedy strikes, all the novel's characters grapple with questions of fate and individual responsibility, none more so than Miggy, who must make sense of a swiftly disappearing past and a radically transformed future. Written with searing clarity and surpassing tenderness, The Mysteries limns the painful ambiguities of adulthood and the intense perceptions of an indelibly drawn child to offer a profound exploration of how all of us, at every stage, must reckon with life's abundant and unsolvable mysteries.
