Maybe it's a me problem but I couldn't keep track of the characters. I enjoyed the first and last time periods most, the middle one just didn't do it for me. But it wasn't bad. ( ) The author took her time to weave together the past and the present in such a way that you could see the characters in their time and space. This story made me cheer, cry, and think out loud while shopping. The only reason I did not give this story 5 stars was because of the ending. I will say no more. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

HTML: NATIONAL BESTSELLER A New York Times Book Review Notable Book of the Year "Sexton takes on [Toni Morrison's artful invocation of the ghost] in her new novel The Revisioners. . . She writes with such a clear sense of place and time that each of these intermingled stories feels essential and dramatic in its own way." â??Ron Charles, The Washington Post "A powerful tale of racial tensions across generations." â??People In 1924, Josephine is the proud owner of a thriving farm. As a child, she channeled otherworldly power to free herself from slavery. Now her new neighbor, a white woman named Charlotte, seeks her company, and an uneasy friendship grows between them. But Charlotte has also sought solace in the Ku Klux Klan, a relationship that jeopardizes Josephine's family. Nearly one hundred years later, Josephine's descendant, Ava, is a single mother who has just lost her job. She moves in with her white grandmother, Martha, a wealthy but lonely woman who pays Ava to be her companion. But Martha's behavior soon becomes erratic, then threatening, and Ava must escape before her story and Josephine's converge. The Revisioners explores the depths of women's relationshipsâ??powerful women and marginalized women, healers and survivors. It is a novel about the bonds between mothers and their children, the dangers that upend those bonds. At its core, The Revisioners ponders generational legacies, the endurance of hope, and the undying promise of freedom. "[A] stunning new novel . . . Sexton's writing is clear and uncluttered, the dialogue authentic, with all the cadences of real speech... This is a novel about the women, the mothers." â??New York Times Book Review Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
