I never miss an Erica Bauermeister book because she simply writes a character driven , plot appealing novel . This one has you thinking differently about the books we read and where they take us and what to do when we get there. ( ) This book is a tribute to the power of books, and the fact that every book touches the reader in a different way. Alice's brother, Peter, dies young, and Alice, always wanting to write, pours her grief into a book, Theo. After many rejections, an agent decides to publish it. Various readers read the book, and each reader takes a message from the book - as if it was written for them. It is touching and heartfelt. It resonated with me, because I have always believed that there is a book for everyone - and reading special books can really touch your heart, and help you through various situations. This book was a treasure to read. I enjoyed each story and each character. I've never read anything quite like this. The first chapter is about a young woman who writes a book. The following chapters are about people who come in contact with the book, and their relationships with the book. So each chapter almost reads as a short story, but what they all have in common is this one book. A really interesting concept for a book. I liked it, and the concept. I liked how every once in awhile, in some of the chapters, there is an interconnection with a character from another chapter. All of the characters were interesting. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

"One book. Nine readers. Ten changed lives. New York Times bestselling author Erica Bauermeister's No Two Persons is "a gloriously original celebration of fiction, and the ways it deepens our lives."* That was the beauty of books, wasn't it? They took you places you didn't know you needed to go... Alice has always wanted to be a writer. Her talent is innate, but her stories remain safe and detached, until a devastating event breaks her heart open, and she creates a stunning debut novel. Her words, in turn, find their way to readers, from a teenager hiding her homelessness, to a free diver pushing himself beyond endurance, an artist furious at the world around her, a bookseller in search of love, a widower rent by grief. Each one is drawn into Alice's novel; each one discovers something different that alters their perspective, and presents new pathways forward for their lives. Together, their stories reveal how books can affect us in the most beautiful and unexpected of ways-and how we are all more closely connected to one another than we might think. "With its beautiful parts that add up to a brilliant whole, No Two Persons made my reader's heart sing."-*Nina de Gramont, New York Times bestselling author of The Christie Affair"-- Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
