Meld je aan bij LibraryThing om erachter te komen of je dit boek goed zult vinden. Op dit moment geen Discussie gesprekken over dit boek. In an interview in the back of the book the author describes how she had a vision of a stolid old man in an orchard, with a young girl clinging to his pants, and a young woman in the background among the trees, and an overall air of grief among them, and that she wrote this book from that image. To me, this book felt like viewing a painting or photograph of her description, and thus I felt impressions of the characters from a very narrow distinct viewpoint, but not an overall understanding of them or ability to relate to them. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

The book never solves the mystery of the sister. I respect that choice—it’s more true—but I kept hoping for something to energize this long book. All the disclosure is up front and then it’s just the main character worrying.
It’s a study in the fallout from trauma, how far it ripples out. The end is sad but lovely. The prose is often lovely. I couldn’t shake the feeling, though, that the realism and the book’s truly admirable ethic were winning out over Story. ( )
