Sinossi
Stress post traumatico. Così il suo ultimo psichiatra definisce la depressione e l'amnesia di cui soffre da molti anni. Un avvenimento accaduto nel passato l'ha sconvolta al punto che lei ha ricacciato la realtà nel profondo del suo inconscio, rifugiandosi in un guscio protettivo di abulia e indifferenza. Teresa, nonostante oramai sia avanti con l'età, o forse proprio per questo, è decisa a scoprire cos'è che ha rovinato la sua vita di madre, di moglie e di donna. Per farlo annota i pochi sprazzi del passato che ricorda su dei post-it, scegliendone i colori in base alle emozioni che prova quando la memoria, grazie a sogni, racconti e vecchie fotografie in bianco e nero, riaffiora a poco a poco. Ogni nuovo ricordo la riporta a un'estate del 1974, quando al paese in cui stava trascorrendo le vacanze si ripresentò il torturatore fascista che durante il regime aveva vessato la famiglia di suo marito. A mano a mano che il passato e il presente si intrecciano tra loro per riannodare il filo degli eventi accaduti mezzo secolo prima, Teresa si costringerà a far riemergere dal luogo in cui li aveva dolorosamente sepolti vecchi segreti e grandi e piccole infamità di paese.

I feel as I’ve been in a dream. Barker’s writing is entrancing and lyrical. Beautiful and terrifying in its own class. I would classify this as a literary horror novel. Something I have not had an experience with. However, this flowed so naturally and all consuming. There is a woman who stays on the Leggi tutto

It opens with Jake and Mariko, two strangers who have a chance meeting when they both miss their flights in Osaka, and who are both haunted by the loss of loved ones- loved ones they los Leggi tutto
I was instantly mesmerised by the opening chapter of Old Soul, in which a teacher finds he has something very unusual in common with a woman he meets on a trip to Osaka. From this first scene onwards, this book is utterly compelling. It switches between a continuing narrative – titled ‘Badlands’ – a Leggi tutto
