Elena Ferrante – Príbeh stratenej dcéry (Neapolská sága #4)
Poslední díl Neapolské ságy jsem schválně pořád odkládala, protože jsem ji ještě nechtěla uzavřít. Tohle prostředí, příběh, postavy a všechno ostatní mi tak přirostlo k srdci, že jsem se ještě necítila na definitivní uzavření. Ale najednou jsem si uvědomila, že přišel její čas a já jsem pocítila nutkavou potřebu zjistit, jak[...]
Burgessovi chlapci jsou u nás nejnovějším titulem držitelky Pulitzerovy ceny Elisabeth Strout, které u nás vyšly už dva romány – Olive Kitteridgeová, za kterou autorka dostala Pulitzerovou cenu, a Jmenuji se Lucy Bartonová. I když u nás Burgessovi chlapci vychází až teď, autorka je vydala už v roce 2013. Za mě byla tato knížka prvním setkáním s autorkou, ale příběh o rodinných vztazích a[...]

Haunted by the freak accident that killed their father when they were children, Jim and Bob Burgess escaped from their Maine hometown of Shirley Falls for New York City as soon as they possibly could. Jim, a sleek, successful corporate lawyer, has belittled his bighearted brother their whole lives, and Bob, a Legal Aid attorney who idolizes Jim, has always taken it in stride. But their long-standing dynamic is upended when their sister, Susan—the Burgess sibling who stayed behind—urgently calls them home. Her lonely teenage son, Zach, has gotten himself into a world of trouble, and Susan desperately needs their help. And so the Burgess brothers return to the landscape of their childhood, where the long-buried tensions that have shaped and shadowed their relationship begin to surface in unexpected ways that will change them forever.
With a rare combination of brilliant storytelling, exquisite prose, and remarkable insight into character, Elizabeth Strout has brought to life two deeply human protagonists whose struggles and triumphs will resonate with readers long after they turn the final page. Tender, tough-minded, loving, and deeply illuminating about the ties that bind us to family and home, The Burgess Boys is Elizabeth Strout's newest and perhaps most astonishing work of literary art.
