Op dit moment geen Discussie gesprekken over dit boek. a beautiful book about love and grief ( ) Alice is an American living in Ireland, and When Light is Like Water chronicles her reflections many years down the line on an affair she embarked on and its aftermath. I found this to be an enjoyable, quick page turner. McCloskey offers up interesting perspectives around the affair and Alice's marriage, depicting well the many layers to relationships and the rashness that was easier to jump headlong into rather then facing her doubts about the marriage. Having Alice look back at the affair through the passage of time worked well - as a reader we got inside her head during the affair, but we also lived out how her opinion of her husband and the marriage changed as she got older. 4 stars - I didn't overly feel much for the characters, but it sucked me in nonetheless. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

'There are few things on earth smaller than this country.' Alice, a young American on her travels, arrives in the west of Ireland with no plans and no strong attachments - except to her beloved mother, who raised her on her own. She falls in love with an Irishman, marries him, and settles down in a place whose codes she struggles to crack. And then, in the course of a single hot summer, she embarks on an affair that breaks her marriage and sets her life on a new course. Years later, in the aftermath of her mother's death, Alice finds herself back in Ireland and contemplating the forces that led her to put down roots and then tear them up again. What drew her to her husband, and what pulled her away? And how do we know when we've found our place in the world? When Light is Like Water is at once a gripping story of passion and ambivalence and a profound meditation on the things that matter most- the definition of love, the value of family and the meaning of home.
