O My Darling: A Novel
Autor Amity Gaigeen Limba Engleză Paperback – 7 oct 2013
The
external
lives
of
Clark,
a
high
school
guidance
counselor,
and
Charlotte,
a
bookkeeper,
are
utterly
ordinary,
but
their
interior
lives
are
as
bold
and
complex
as
abstract
paintings
colored
by
imagined
possibilities,
childhood
joys
and,
more
darkly,
by
deeply
buried
fears.
When
Clark
rescues
a
young
boy
from
drowning,
a
chain
of
events-some
comic,
some
harrowing-is
set
in
motion,
revealing
the
fault
lines
of
the
couple's
marriage
and
individual
psyches.

Recenzii
"Utterly
devourable...gently,
and
beautifully
unfolds,
like
a
gauzy
curtain
in
an
open
window."—Los
Angeles
Times
"A life-enhancing novel and a stunning debut...Gaige's style sings and twists. Each moment or shift in perspective conjures up a strange image, a quirky insight, a sumptuous simile...haunting, riveting, wonderful."—The Providence Journal
"Generous, wry, and bristling with humor, O MY DARLING is a gift to the reader. There are so many pleasures to be found here: indelible images, crystalline prose, and two characters that are rendered with such entertaining insight and tenderness, they will continue to haunt us long after we have, with great reluctance, left them."—Sarah Shun-Lien Bynum, finalist for the National Book Award for Madeline is Sleeping
"This fine, intelligent novel should be required reading for anyone who is (a) in love, (b) engaged, (c) wed, or (d) planning on buying real estate, especially as a concrete expression of (a), (b), or (c). With one scalpel-sharp sentence after another, Amity Gaige has cut a beautifully sad pattern into the skin of that rootless, troubled creature--the modern, secular marriage."—Adam Haslett, author of Union Atlantic, and the New York Times best-selling short story collection You Are Not a Stranger Here
"Amity Gaige seems to know everything there is to know about us. [The novel's] details are so sharp and unique, every sentence carries the burden (and somethings the joy also) of truth."—Peter Orner, author of Love and Shame and Love
"Gaige's beguilingly offbeat voices and appealing mix of humor and insight offer continual pleasures...With a flavor of Lorrie Moore, graceful, bright, modern writing."—Kirkus Reviews
"Crystalline insights into the nature of love and flashes of narrative brilliance...sparkles and delights."—Publisher's Weekly
