   Aucun Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre.   ) Valarena | Mar 6, 2021 |  This is the second book I’ve read by Jones, and I continue to be impressed by her writing. She really explores her characters, slowly letting the reader get to know these women. Aria narrates and that does give us a skewed perspective of her mother and sister, as well as best friend Rochelle, boyfriend Dwayne and other characters in the book. She is forever expecting things to turn out badly, and she is sometimes proven right. But she fails to see how she influences the outcome. An unexpected diagnosis is the catalyst for Aria’s finally coming to terms with her loss and facing her present and future. I am different now; today nothing scares me more than the hollow clatter of secrets. ( ) BookConcierge | Jan 13, 2016 | The author's publicist is a fan of my blog and sent me a copy, which she predicted I'd enjoy. She was so right. It took me forever to finish because I've been very preoccupied with my life this year. I'm positive no story has ever affected me as much as this one. I'm affected and changed by having read this novel. FULL REVIEW: http://homegirl.typepad.com/home_girl/2007/08/the-untelling-b.html (  ) HomeGirlQuel | Apr 14, 2009 | ( ) sunshine608 | Oct 9, 2007 |
 Atlanta is the novel’s setting, and the memories of Dr. Martin Luther King are everywhere—as street signs, as physical markers, and as a heavy presence of expectation for Aria, the narrator, whose real name is Ariadne, and whose mother has very specific designs for all three of her girls. The story of Tayari Jones's new novel, The Untelling, is a deceptively simple one: A young woman discovers she's infertile just as she meets the man of her dreams. This might be a disappointing premise for a novel, too small to engage our sensibilities in any significant way, too confined to its small, solipsistic corner of the universe. But The Untelling widens and deepens as it goes, becoming not just the story of one woman's regret -- but a shrewd and knowing portrait of poverty, racism and the hopelessness of the oppressed and the unlucky. In the end, it is very much about what human beings do when the world turns its back on them. Prix et récompensesListes notables

HTML:From the author of the Oprah Book Club Selection An American Marriage, here is an emotionally powerful novel that "succeeds mightily...truly a wonderful story" (Boston Globe). Aria is no stranger to tragedy â?? as a young girl, she and her older sister and mother survived a car crash that took the lives of their father and beloved baby sister. And although relations with her remaining family are strained, she's done her best to establish a solid, normal life for herself, living in Atlanta and teaching literacy to girls who have fallen on hard times. But now she has a secret that she's not yet ready to share with Dwayne, her devoted boyfriend, or Rochelle, her roommate and best friend: Aria is pregnant. Or so she thinks. The truth is about to make her question her every assumption and reevaluate the life she has worked so hard to build for herself...as it sends her reeling in a direction she had no idea she was destined to go. Praise for Tayari Jones "Tayari Jones is blessed with vision to see through to the surprising and devastating truths at the heart of ordinary lives, strength to wrest those truths free, and a gift of language to lay it all out, compelling and clear." â?? Michael Chabon "Tayari Jones has emerged as one of the most important voices of her generation." â?? Essence "One of America's finest writers." â?? Nylon.com "Tayari Jones is a wonderful storyteller." â?? Plough Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
