Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing. Love and hate for the characters, Mercy and Star. Selfishness, the mother daughter relationship with twists and turns. Overall, a really good story set in Ireland.Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing. I finished this book easily enough. The writing itself was engaging and shows great promise. Unfortunately this book didn't live up to its promise as a story. The first twist was just a throwaway twist to make the narrator less reliable. The first "shocking" twist you could see coming a mile away with the sun in your eyes. The murder mystery barely made it into the book in any real way and was never really resolved. The second big twist was more obvious than the first. Of the three main characters, I think the Mercy (the mother) may be the only one I may have been able to like. Her daughter Star was one dimensional and thoroughly unlikable right to the end. To put it nicely. Not a successful story. Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing. I will read a book to its completion, good or bad, but this time, I could not go on. I read the first few chapters of Blue Mercy and could finish. To be fair, the plot sounded interesting, a mother-daughter relationship, the mother being accused of murdering her own father after being a caregiver for a difficult man, and her daughter Marcy, who, in my opinion, the author did not fully develop. There were too many distractions and sub-plots with the author’s narrative. The author has a good plot but has smothered it with too many details for me aucune critique | ajouter une critique
A literary family drama with a murder at its heart. When Mercy Mulcahy was 40-years-old, she was accused of killing her elderly and tyrannical father. Now, at the end of her life, she has written a book about what really happened on that fateful night of Christmas Eve, 1989. The tragic and beautiful Mercy has devoted her life to protecting Star from her father, Star's grandfather. His behavior so blighted her own life-she never wanted it to touch her darling daughter. Yet, Star won't even read the manuscript. Star's contempt for Mercy is as painful as it is inexplicable. Why? What has Mercy done? What is she hiding? Was her father's death, as many believe, an assisted suicide? Or something even more sinister? In this book, nothing is what it seems on the surface, and everywhere there are emotional twists and surprises. Set in Ireland and California, Blue Mercy is a compelling novel, combing lyrical description with a unpausable style. It is an enthralling tale of love, loss, and the ever-present possibility of redemption. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
