Sinossi
In una stanza d'ospedale nel cuore di Manhattan, davanti allo scintillio del grattacielo Chrysler che si staglia oltre la finestra, per cinque giorni e cinque notti due donne parlano con intensità. Non si vedono da molti anni, ma il flusso delle parole sembra poter cancellare il tempo e coprire l'assordante rumore del non detto. In quella stanza d'ospedale, per cinque giorni e cinque notti, le due donne non sono altro che la cosa più antica e pericolosa e struggente: una madre e una figlia che ricordano di amarsi.

This book! I really can’t stop thinking about this book. What at first felt like a simple, quietly understated series of snapshots of a woman’s life, has turned into a powerful novel that packs its punch through everything that is not spoken. Beautifully expressed with sparse prose, My Name is Lucy Leggi tutto
This is a story about a woman who loves her daughter. Imperfectly. Because we all love imperfectly. Depressing as hell. But I enjoyed wallowing in it for a while. My Name Is Lucy Barton covers a life story, poverty, abuse, art, marriage, the AIDs epidemic and subsequent fear, and a difficult rela
**Updating this to 5★**I was totally captivated by this soulful, unassuming narrative that packs a punch of emotion. An ordinary story with an extraordinary character. The narrative begins with Lucy Barton reflecting on her life from the hospital bed where she spent 8 weeks after getting an infectio Leggi tutto
