A set of intertwining stories brought together by a significant earthquake in contemporary San Francisco. Each character is someplace different when the quake and its aftershocks strike and some find themselves trapped with those they never expected to meet, and others embark on a journey through a suddenly changed city to get back to those they love. Poignant and touching, I would highly recommend this book. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Onderscheidingen
"In this thoughtful, mesmerizing tale with echoes of Station Eleven, the author of An Uncommon Education follows a group of survivors thrown together in the aftermath of two major earthquakes that strike San Francisco within an hour of each other--an achingly beautiful and lyrical novel about the power of nature, the resilience of the human spirit, and the enduring strength of love. On Valentine's Day, two major earthquakes strike San Francisco within the same hour, devastating the city and its primary entry points, sparking fires throughout, and leaving its residents without power, gas, or water.Among the disparate survivors whose fates will become intertwined are Max, a man who began the day with birthday celebrations tinged with regret; Vashti, a young woman who has already buried three of the people she loved most. but cannot forgot Max, the one man who got away; and Gene, a Stanford geologist who knows far too much about the terrifying earthquakes that have damaged this beautiful city and irrevocably changed the course of their lives. As day turns to night and fires burn across the city, Max and Vashti--trapped beneath the rubble of the collapsed Nob Hill Masonic Auditorium--must confront each other and face the truth about their past, while Gene embarks on a frantic search through the realization of his worst nightmares to find his way back to his ailing lover and their home"-- Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

However, I tired of the exposition of the back stories and, although I had read a review that compared her writing to Ann Patchett's Belle Canto, it was far from that. I found it a bit cliched, too full of similes and metaphors. Had to skim at times. ( )
