Beautiful ( ) Die Geschichte von Bridie und Finn beginnt kurz vor dem 2. Weltkrieg in New Jersey. Nach anfänglichen Schwierigkeiten, sind die beiden unzertrennlich - meistens. Die Geschichte der beiden und die ihrer Familien ist wunderschön erzählt. Harry Cauly lässt sich viel Zeit für die Geschehnisse. Der Leser verfolgt, wie die beiden von Kindern zu jungen Erwachsenen reifen. Leider hat das Buch im Vergleich zum Rest ein sehr abruptes, und meines Erachtens auch unlogisches Ende. Trotzdem ist das Buch sehr zu empfehlen, wenn man das Geschichten Erzählen mag. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

"Bridie O'Connor is the most intriguing character Finn and his fourth-grade classmates have ever met. She is fearless, willing to say absolutely anything that comes into her mind, and everything about her is messy and a little off. It is love at first sight for Finn, but it will be almost a decade before he is ready to admit it." "Finn is a quiet boy and something of an outsider, owing to his gimpy leg. He and Bridie grow up a few houses apart in a small New Jersey community during the 1940s - a time and place evoked here to perfection - where the specter of war looms large in everyone's life." "Too old to go to war, Finn's father enters the service vicariously by signing enlistment papers for his just-underage son Fritz. The loss is tremendous for Finn and irreparable for his mother, who withdraws from the family entirely. Left alone, Finn and his father maintain an awkward relationship, speaking little and communicating less." "Bridie and Finn spend a decade keeping the closest of company. They seem destined to remain together for life, but people and circumstances appear to be conspiring against them. In a disturbing and startling conclusion, Bridie reveals - during their closest moment - a truth that alters forever the nature of their friendship." "In graceful and seamless prose, Harry Gauley captures the world of the close-knit urban community, and a way of life that exists no more."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
