I can't remember much about this book, after all the years since I read it. ( ) ”Les chutes” de Joyce Carol Oates relate une saga familiale dans la région des Chutes du Niagara, avec ses amours déçues, ses rencontres passionnées, ses ambitions et ses drames. Un roman basé sur un incident initial qui bouleverse et engage les destinées de ses protagonistes ainsi que des générations futures. Un récit ample, romanesque mais dont de nombreux éléments, parfois centraux, restent pourtant en suspens. Une lecture qui se termine sur un goût d’inachevé. > LES CHUTES by Joyce Carol Oates, Claude Seban Se reporter au compte rendu de Jean-Paul MARÉCHAL In: Revue Esprit No. 327 (8/9) (Août-septembre 2006), pp. 244-245… ; (en ligne), URL : https://esprit.presse.fr/article/jean-paul-marechal/joyce-carol-oates-les-chutes... I loved this book. It captures the experience of being a sheltered woman before and during second wave feminism so well. Ariah strongly reminded me of one of my aunts and she's heartbreaking, especially when seen through the lense of her grown and nearly grown children. I also have to admit that I love reading books set in upstate New York. It feels like home. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Fiction.
HTML: A man climbs over the railings and plunges into Niagara Falls. A newlywed, he has left behind his wife, Ariah Erskine, in the honeymoon suite the morning after their wedding. "The Widow Bride of The Falls", as Ariah comes to be known, begins a relentless, seven day vigil in the mist, waiting for his body to be found. At her side throughout, confirmed bachelor and pillar of the community Dirk Burnaby is unexpectedly transfixed by the otherworldly gaze of this plain, strange woman, falling in love with her though they barely exchange a word. What follows is their passionate love affair, marriage, children, and a seemingly perfect existence. But the tragedy by which their life together began shadows them, damaging their idyll with distrust, greed, and even murder. What unfurls is a drama of parents and their children; of secrets and sins; of lawsuits, murder, and eventually redemption. .Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
