Recenzii
“Every Past Thing shares with Emily Barton’s Brookland a perfectly surehanded sense of place and time, and with Marilynne Robinson’s Housekeeping a precise, unsentimental evocation of our deepest loves and family bonds. I’ve not been so moved by a novel in years; it seems to me truly stunning."—Andrea Barrett
“A perfect novel to sink into for these chilly winter months, Every Past Thing shall be relished by anyone searching for a beautiful, semi-scandalous and slightly seductive escape.”—The Feminist Review
“In Thompson’s prose, attuned to every nuance of understated emotion, there is both power and wisdom—about family, life and death, grief, women longing for and demanding purpose and position, the ability of art to express, but also the pain of the unexpressed."—Susan Vreeland
“A novel to be savored.”—Booklist
“Thompson writes ... beautifully and with lucid assurance.”—Robert Birnbaum, The Morning News
“This is a novel of ideas that today’s woman will find of great interest.”—bookviews.com
“A haunting story of a family, and a nation, undergoing great change —Historical Novels Review
Descriere
In 1899, the streets of New York were as unsettled as the heart and mind of Mary Jane Elmer. The ideas of the transcendentalists were still in the air, and thoughts of a second revolution were rising. Emma Goldman spoke to ever-growing numbers of the disenfranchised in Union Square and scandalized the city fathers. Police used horses, clubs and bullets to disperse the crowds. Women were redefining their roles for the coming century. And, near the middle of life, solitary in her marriage to an intractable and distant artist, and still grieving the death of their daughter ten years earlier, Mary struggles to shape a future she can endure.
Derived from the lives of real people, this beautiful novel is a whirlwind of history, art, familial tremors, and personal desire. But beyond its elegance, beyond its historical authenticity, Every Past Thing is an intimate and moving family portrait—and its every brushstroke is marked with longing.
