My daughter dropped this off for me to read, not realizing I've long been a Zevin fan, but hadn't read this one. It's an interesting take on the afterlife, which in this story, is lived in reverse. Liz is only 15, so feels she had a lot of life left. She is fortunate to make a young friend on the SS Nile on the way to Elsewhere, and that a grandmother she never knew is there to meet her. It doesn't stop her from the teen angst of wanting to see what everybody back home is doing, but she finally embraces an avocation which broadens her new life. ( ) Reread June 2019 because I needed a hug and an ugly cry and if possible I love it more. I'd forgotten just how every sentence is worthy of highlighting and so perfectly constructed. And I think I wrote this review in like 2014, but it should be known that I have no fewer than three copies in my office right now, just waiting for some unsuspecting human to come along needing this in their life. -- Elsewhere is my favourite book of all time. I've read a lot of books in my days, and this is the book that I keep coming back to.I'm glad I read it when I was younger, however, as I think if I were to pick it up as an adult it wouldn't quite speak to me the way it did then. Despite no longer being a teenager, however, this book makes me bawl my eyes out every single time I read it. Zevin knows how to make you think without you realising she's doing so. She raises questions of life and death and love, as well as what happens when we age, how we can grow out of love and how experiences and memories really influence our age. Her writing is gorgeous--very precise and never entering the minds of her characters. She shows us what's happening and allows us to make our own inferences and come to our own realisations. This book makes me feel hopeful and in love and naive all over again. I own two physical copies in addition to my kindle edition just so I can force people to read it. It's an easy read, and well worth the time Ist gekürzt inAuszeichnungenPrestigeträchtige AuswahlenBemerkenswerte Listen
