Sinossi
Per Calista, irlandese di buona famiglia, arriva molto presto, a diciassette anni, ha il volto di Alexandros, trentenne cipriota, bellissimo e sicuro di sé, e significa l’ingresso in una nuova esistenza, in un Paese straniero. Per Pilar, spagnola figlia di contadini, è un vortice di passione imprevisto che in un attimo sconvolge un piano seguito con rigore per dieci anni: lasciarsi alle spalle la miseria e l’ignoranza, diventare un’altra. Calista dovrà imparare nel modo più difficile a essere moglie e madre, mentre il suo matrimonio naufraga sugli scogli della nostalgia, della violenza e dell’inganno. Pilar sarà costretta a scegliere tra il suo progetto di vita e suo figlio, e si troverà a camminare su un filo teso tra la libertà e la solitudine. Finché le storie delle due donne si scontrano con il fragore di un evento traumatico: un omicidio, che ha radici più antiche di quanto possano immaginare.
Un romanzo potente che ha gli ingredienti delle grandi tragedie classiche e la forza della verità di ogni giorno: quella di due protagoniste femminili indimenticabili in guerra contro un mondo maschile. Capaci di infinito amore e infinito odio, disposte a perdere tutto pur di non tradire se stesse.

She has, she supposes, made half a life. And tomorrow is another day. Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow. It’s been five and a half years since I worked in a bookstore and I never miss it as much as when I get to the end of a book and I need to tell everyone I know how much I loved it. I loved th
My dearly beloved is traveling in Ireland and I, being more of an armchair traveler, decided to try an Irish author, although I must say as international as this story is, Ireland doesn't really feature here all that prominently. I'm not sure the book's description does it justice, not is it particu Leggi tutto
The Years That Followed has been compared to Ferrante's Neapolitan novels, so I certainly had high expectations. I was not disappointed! If I am comparing this to Ferrante I would say it is similar in that it tells the story of two interesting women over decades of their lives, but rather than their Leggi tutto

Many critics feel this is a story about children and family, for me it was more about how easily women are swept away by love and the consequences of their choices.

It was overall an okay read, however I couldn't help but think that it could have been wound down to a 3 minute read in a take a break magazine. Many parts were boring and felt like page fillers. Tbh I don't see any part that is inspired by Greek mythology. More like a story line picked up from 'pic Leggi tutto
Sometimes in publishing you fall madly in love with a novel and can't. stop. talking about it. Catherine Dunne is such a rare talent and we are extremely proud to publish her.
