Who will inherit the beautiful Millbank estate and its wealth? That is the question on everyone’s mind when Squire Irving dies, leaving behind the greedy widow of his spendthrift elder son and her son Frank as well as his younger son, who was born under a cloud of suspicion. At the outset of the book, it seems that he has loved his younger son enough to look past his uncertain birth and bestow upon him the bounty that he is leaving behind. It is clear from the beginning of the novel that Roger, the younger son, is well-deserving of this love. Generous to a fault, his character is an upright and honest one that the reader comes to admire. The plot quickly grows complex with the addition of a baby girl, Magdalen, that Roger unwittingly takes into custody when her mother abandons her. As the children grow, Roger and Frank find themselves vying for Magdalen’s heart as well as for the Millbank estate. The love triangle is complicated by the machinations of Frank’s mother which end in tragedy when a newer will is discovered, disinheriting Roger and leaving everything to Frank. This shattering discovery, though tragic when it occurs, leads to the discovery of several unsuspected ties and an ultimately happy resolution. The plot moves swiftly, propelled by full-bodied characters that elicit a strong response in the reader. In the end, good triumphs over evil and we are reminded that, come what may, if we live upright and faithful lives, we’ll find contentment and joy in anything, even poverty and loss. I was intrigued by this book when I read that it was the only book of fiction that Laura Ingalls Wilder’s mother had in their house. Having read it, I can see why. It was a wonderfully satisfying read and, if you can find it in the library, I’d certainly recommend it!

Turnesol Olayı TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Mandolin Yayınları

Reading The Cold Six Thousand is a harrowing, sometimes traumatizing experience. In a July 2006 essay, James Ellroy wrote about how, while he finished writing the book, his life started to unravel: his marriage dissolved, anxiety consumed him and he fell back into addiction. The book feels like something that was written just ahead of a complete emotional breakdown. It's all conspiracies and double-crosses, the violence is frequent and horrifying, and the characters so paranoid that they’re mentally and physically exhausted by the end. It’s a hard book to read, too, being familiar with the rest of Ellroy’s biography. His murdered mother, her never-identified assailant, and his misogynist father all have corollaries in the text. It’s hard to not read wish-fulfillment into a character who’s reunited with his long-lost mother, or the one who spends years searching for a serial killer of women and eventually torturing the guy to death, or the character who plots the murder of his toxic, hateful father.

Safir Gül Elenium 3. Kitap TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Put simply: I really liked this book. I've heard it described as "Harry Potter for adults", but it's so much more than that. It's funny and witty and smart, with writing that alternately makes you laugh or chills you to the core, and sometimes even makes you cry. If I had to liken it to any other work, I would describe it as "J. K. Rowling meets Neil Gaiman"; but describing it within the parameters of fantasy doesn't really do it justice, either. Probably the most fascinating aspect of the book is the world in which it's set. The world of Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell is a blend of early 19th century England, and a magical land entirely of Clarke's creation. Taken singularly, 19th century England is a pretty boring setting for a fantasy novel, and a fictive land of fairies is fairly irrelevant in an English novel. But it's where these two settings meet that we get a truly fascinating world. Clarke's England is not just the England that you find in history texts and other such sources, but the England you find in contemporary novels and poetry (Austen, Byron, Shelley, the Brontes, Dickens, and so on), and in more modern historical fiction (esp. O'Brian and Cornwell, which naturally amuses me to no end). And neither is the land of Faerie, created by Clarke, solely hers: there are echoes of traditional fairy tales, but also of C. S. Lewis, Tolkien, John Mandeville, Shakespeare, and other such writers of "traditional" fantasy. I would suggest that the world of Strange is in fact a fully realised pseudo-literary reality-- one that combines history and folklore with the literature that has been created based on both. It is, in a word, brilliant. But the appeal of the book is not just its setting. Strange is largely plot-driven-- there are too many characters for it to work otherwise. But it's a good plot, full of mystery and magic and unexpected turns, plus some moments that made me wish that damn tree outside my room would leave my window alone. It's also ridiculously funny: the pages are littered with footnotes, sometimes referring to nonexistent books, but mostly providing surprisingly thoughtful histories to the events described. (My favourite of these is on p. 584-5: "She even learnt the language of a strange country which, Signor Tosetti had been told, some people believed still existed, although no one in the world could say where it was. (The name of the country was Wales.)") But neither does Clarke neglect her characters. They are all complex, well drawn people, and for all that Strange and Norrell fill the title, I couldn't really say that there's any one protagonist to the book. Strange and Norrell themselves are utterly dislikeable as people but sympathetic as characters; I found Stephen to be likeable as a person but disagreeable as a character; Childermass is fascinating, but frustrating as a character, because he does not learn. Nor is there any one antagonist: Norrell and Strange both antagonize each other; the fairy antagonizes everyone; John Uskglass ultimately "wins", so can he really be an antagonist? None of these characters can be pigeon-holed into a tradition role, which is what makes them so interesting. They are not just flawed people, but flawed characters, which serves to make them dramatically interesting. In all, a really interesting, delightful book. I don't think it's for everyone (and I might later elaborate on why, but dude, it's almost 2am), but it's very much worth a read.

Just as beautifully written as Before I Fall, Delirium was a real pleasure to read. I loved the lush descriptions and "fresh eyes" that Oliver also offered with her first novel. The premise, although interesting, felt as though it had been done before. When I was describing it to someone, they remembered a movie that had a similar plot (Equilibrium?). The ending was unexpected but beautiful and the characters kept my attention. I still feel that Before I Fall is a better novel.
