En Güzel Dini Hikayeler (Hikaye-002/P14) ücretsiz kitap indir

Karen Carreño karencarrenio — Extremely graphic and highly disturbing, but a gripping page-turner nonetheless. Lucy's mom is a hoarder. Highly paranoid that she's going to need something someday, she never never throws anything away, never allows anyone to touch her so-called "treasures". Old newspapers & magazines, plastic containers from take-out meals, mounds of items bought en masse at bargin sales, and countless other odds and ends create unsanitary mountains of filth and trash that all but bury every surface. Black mold edges the drapes of every window. The overpowering stench of rot permiates the air. The interior of the house is no better than a landfill. This is the environment in which Lucy had spent most of her life. Deeply, almost guiltily ashamed of her mother and her homelife, Lucy does all she can to hide her living situation from classmates and neighbors. Even Lucy's best friend has never set foot in her house. Then one morning Lucy returns home to find her mother's dead body sprawled beneath a toppled stack of old magazines. Instead of calling 9-1-1, Lucy decides to clean up the house. Her reasoning (saving her family the embarassment the sight of all that filth will surely bring if made public) is twisted, selfish, and almost as disturbing as her mother's reasoning for keeping every scrap of whatever that makes its way into the house. But as I continued deeper into the story, I began to sympathize with more and more with Lucy's plight. As the day and the cleaning progress, Lucy uncovers lots of unexpected (and unpleasent) things: long-lost items, huge (unpaid) credit card bills from her mom's mass purchasing, heaps of clothes with the tags still attahed, food that had been rotting for who knows how long... There were several places I phycsically cringed (the maggots in the kitchen, discovering a long-dead hamster buried under the woodchips of a forgotten cage, to name a few). The ending of the story finds a desperate Lucy taking a page from her favorite Johnny Depp movie, Gilbert Grape, and setting the whole house on fire. She feels there is no other alternative. While this story was exceptionally creative and very well-written, it was also very difficult to read--to keep reading. There were several times where I almost put the book down, unable to stomach the gravity of what Lucy was going through. In the end, I think the only thing that got me through was the same sort of morbid curiosity one gets when driving past a horrific accident on the roadway. You can't not gawk. I couldn't not finish the book. Still, I predict this one will win awards. I would like to stress that this book is NOT for younger readers. Those with a weak stomach (who become grossed out easily) may want to pick up something lighter.
