ANNA QUINDLEN - One True Thing - BESTSELLER

" 'You' says Ellen Gulden's father, as he throws her stuff out on the porch after she suggests he "hire a nurse" to take care of her dying mother, 'have a Harvard education, but you have no heart.'

And so starts her journey back into her family (she quits her job in the big city), back to the mother she never really identified with. So starts her learning process--about human nature...not just about books, or concepts. So starts her learning process about what love is, and what communication between human beings is. It is not just analyzing some dry tract, or being the "Star Pupil". It is far more complicated than that. And this is a complicated, super book.
With her mother's inevitable death, her learning process continues and she changes, finally, into a person "with a heart". I cannot express how moved I was by this book. I was ly entranced from page one and read it in three days. I sense that many of the people who review in this section ( the book section) like me, love to analyze things and appreciate beautiful, honest writing. Well, guess what? You get that here, but you also get something more--a look at yourself, and how you must communicate with your family and loved ones, in less "removed" ways. I did, anyway. I am going to try to see things from a more human perspective, because of this book. It is good to judge, and yet sometimes it is better to act from the heart. Oh: and I will TRY to COOK MORE. Can't swear I'll clean any more than I already do, but nobody's perfect. :) "

" Tight, fluid, moving,...
A few things touched me especially deeply as I read this finely crafted novel by Anna Quindlen. One is how easily this situation could occur for any of us and second is the curiosity of how I would handle the situation and third is, how much do we really know about the innerworkings of the relationships of the people around us, even closest to us?

This novel of family, of life, of death and of choices surrounding life and death invites you into the intimate family circle of Ellen - an intelligent professional woman who goes home to a small college town to take care of her mother who is dying of cancer.

She comes to know both her parents in an entirely new way - bits and pieces of which we glean in the first sentence of the novel: "Jail is not as bad as you might imagine."

From that tightly wound first sentence all the way through, Quindlen's writing holds the reader captive. We want to know what is next. We want to be a part of the process. We want to understand. We don't want the ribbons to "go untied" although... well, you can find out for yourself when you read it... which I strongly suggest that you do. "

W Krakowie możliwy odbiór osobisty. Z opóźnieniem możliwy będzie również w Tarnowie.
