Julia se salva milagrosamente de morir en el ferry que la llevaba camino de una bella isla de las costas de Maine. En el funeral por las víctimas del siniestro adquiere conciencia de la mediocridad de su existencia -no ha sido más que una esposa abnegada, una madre ejemplar-, y decide tomar las riendas de su propia vida, da Ambientada numa ilha paradisíaca, de onde os lagosteiros partem de todas as manhãs e onde os vizinhos se reúnem à noite para comemorar a produção do dia, Ousadia de Verão, de Barbara Delinsky, é uma história comovente da busca arriscada, mas compensadora, do que existe de mais sublime em cada um de nós, na qual sobressaem o instinto de sobrevivência e a capacidade inesgotável do espírito humano de se recuperar de uma tragédia e criar uma vida nova. Julia Bechtel, Noah Prine e Kim Colella, os únicos sobreviventes de um terrível acidente de barco na costa do Maine, em que nove pessoas morreram, são assombrados por uma indagação: o que acontece logo após o momento que mudará sua vida para sempre? So, I thought I would never finish this book. I know, so why did I give it 5 stars? It's long. I stalled in the middle of the book thinking it was just going nowhere and read about 4 books before picking it back up. The second part flew by from that point. I loved the relationship growth on so many different fronts. Fathers and Sons. Mothers and Daughters. Sisters. Friends. And I learned along the way about bunnies and lobsters. I think the stall for me was that I didn't get there fast enough. Maybe because there were so many storylines being addressed? What can I say? The middle portion was like slogging through a bog for me but after I took a break and came back I loved the book. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

WHAT COMES AFTER THE MOMENT THAT FOREVER CHANGES YOUR LIFE?This is the question that haunts Julia Bechtel, Noah Prine, and Kim Colella, the only survivors of a terrible boating accident off the coast of Maine that claimed the lives of nine other people.Julia, a forty-year-old wife and mother, has always taken the path of least resistance. Pigeonholed by her controlling family and increasingly distant husband as "loyal" and "obedient," she realizes in the aftermath of her brush with death that there is more to her -- and to the world around her -- than she ever imagined.Feeling strangely connected to Noah, the divorced, brooding lobsterman who helped save her life, and to Kim, a twenty-one-year-old whose role in the accident and subsequent muteness are a mystery, Julia begins to explore the unique possibilities offered by the quiet island of Big Sawyer, Maine. Suddenly, things that once seemed critical lose significance, and things that seemed inconsequential take on a whole new importance. With each passing moment, each new discovery, Julia grows more sure that after coming face-to-face with death, she must have more from life. Resolving to make things right for the future and drawing on an inner strength she never knew she possessed, Julia passionately awakens to a new world, fearlessly embracing uncertainties in a way she couldn't have imagined only a few weeks ago.Set in a beautifully rendered island off the coast of Maine, where lobstermen leave with the tides each morning to haul and reset their traps, and neighbors gather each night to feast on the catch of the day, Barbara Delinsky's The Summer I Dared is a deeply moving story of the risky but rewarding search for self, a story of survival, and of the irrepressible ability of the human spirit to rebound from disaster and to create life anew.
