Es el invierno de 2005, y Erika sabe que dentro de poco verá al gran Isak Lövenstad, su padre, un hombre distante, de gran reputación y pocas palabras. El coche recorre las carreteras nevadas de la isla de Hammarsö, y la mujer sabe que en cualquier momento podría dar marcha atrás y suspender el viaje. Incluso intuye que eso sería lo mejor, pero avanza porque allí, en la casa donde pasó las vacaciones de su infancia, la esperan los recuerdos de un pasado que compartió con sus dos hermanas, y el fantasma de Ragnar, el compañero de juegos que había andado con ella los primeros pasos hacia el deseo, pero que en el verano de 1979 fue víctima de una tragedia de tintes inciertos y oscuros. This is a vivid recreation of childhood, told through the eyes of three sisters in Sweden in the 1970s. With a surety and lightness of touch, Linn Ullmann charts the path from innocence through the casual cruelty among the girls and their friends that is part of growing up as the three recall their varying recollections of summers spent on holiday on the island of Hammarso. The mood gradually darkens to reveal a terrifying incident that alters their childhoods and leads to a feeling of guilt. 25 years later, they return to the island for the first time since the incident, to meet their father, who seems to have secrets still hidden from his daughters. I had a different cover but it isn't shown (Picador, 2009, trans Sarah Death). The best of Ullman's books I have read. this one really did draw me in to the story, told from multiple perspectives in her chronologically disjointed style. But why do people have to make superficial comparisons like 'echoes of Golding abound...' when its nothing like Golding, except that is partly and only partly, though also centrally as it turns out, about the violence of children. Ullman skriver en uppväxtskildring där det är svårt att tänka bort vem hon är/vem hennes far var. Ändå har jag svårt att tro att detta skulle vara självupplevt, utom möjligen ramen. Det är en historia som i förstone ter sig ganska lätt, troligen med avsikt, men den blir mörkare. Det är svårt att låta bli att jämför med Fagerholm "Den amerikanska flickan", historierna har flera beröringspunkter. Men Ullmans "Ett välsignat barn" lyckas inte lika bra. Jag tycker att författarens arbete med strukturen - dispositionen - lyser igenom för tydligt, det känns anlagt, konstruerat, märkvärdiggjort. Det blir ändå högt betyg. För det är en bra berättelse. Familiehistorie, der finder sted på Hammarsø i Østersøen. Romanen har to tidsperioder; nutiden hvor hovedpersonen Erika i flashbacks tænker tilbage på sine sommerferier på Hammarsø i 1970erne sammen med sine søstre. I 1979 sker der noget forfærdeligt blandt øens børn, som sætter en stopper for ferierne. Der er en hårdfin grænse mellem leg og alvor i denne roman, som kan betegnes som en pkykologisk thriller. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

"Every summer Isak Lovenstad gathers his three daughters by different wives to the windswept Baltic island of Hammarso. Here Erika, Laura, and Molly know, if only for the season, what it is to be a family, and here, in the society of children, each undergoes the rites of growing up. Though many alliances form and dissolve, none compares to Erika's bond with the rebellious misfit Ragnar, the intensity of which makes them inseparable. But when they reach the age of fourteen and their relationship threatens to relegate Erika to Ragnar's outcast state, she suddenly turns away - a common enough teenage betrayal that nonetheless precipitates an incident of such senseless cruelty as to forever alter Isak's family. Twenty-five years later, returning to Hammarso to see their father - now eighty, a bereaved widower, and in year-round exile there - the three women confront, finally, the specter of that awful summer, the mark of which each has since carried."--BOOK JACKET.
