Tell Me What I Am
Autor Una Mannionen Limba Engleză Paperback – 13 aug 2024
Nessa Garvey’s sister Deena vanished without a trace in Philadelphia in 2004. In all that time, Nessa has never once doubted what her instincts told her: her sister’s ex-husband has gotten away with an unspeakable crime.
Nessa’s niece, Ruby, is raised by her father, the man Nessa suspects, in rural Vermont, on the shores of Lake Champlain. Ruby learns how to hunt, how the plants and trees grow, how to avoid making her father angry. The one question she longs to ask is the one she knows she cannot voice: What really happened to her mother?
Over fourteen years, four hundred miles apart, these two women slowly begin to unearth the family history of insidious power and control that has shaped them both in such different ways. But can they reach each other in time?
Tell Me What I Am is a riveting, indelible tour de force of buried secrets and unlikely resilience.

Recenzii
“The menace in this moody, meticulously plotted debut lies not in preposterous plot twists, but within the mysteries of dysfunctional families, close-knit neighborhoods harboring dark secrets, and adolescents’ imperfect and sometimes disastrous, understanding of the world of adults.” — Sarah Lyall, New York Times Book Review, on A Crooked Tree
“I was quickly brought under the spell of this novel, which is filled with pathos, nostalgia, and the best kind of suspense. Una Mannion has beautifully captured the experience of being a child on the verge of adulthood, struggling to fill in the gaps in her understanding of the world around her without much help or mentorship. This is a novel about the way that adults fail children, but also about the moment a child first understands that the adults around her are human--and the empathy that comes with that realization." — Liz Moore, New York Times bestselling author of Long Bright River, on A Crooked Tree
“A Crooked Tree is completely entrancing—as suspenseful as a good thriller, steeped in an aching nostalgia but unflinchingly sharp-sighted. I tore through this novel.” — Julia Pierpont, New York Times bestselling author of Among the Ten Thousand Things, on A Crooked Tree
“Beautifully written with tenderness and wisdom, A Crooked Tree is at once an urgent, propulsive study of grief, anger, and family secrets, and a tightly wound coming-of-age story filled with complexity and grace. This is an accomplished book, and Libby Gallagher is one of the best young narrators I’ve met in years.” — Elizabeth Wetmore, New York Times bestselling author of Valentine, on A Crooked Tree
"Suspenseful, affecting, and disarmingly evocative of childhood and the not-so-distant era of the 1980s." — Kirkus Reviews on A Crooked Tree
“A Crooked Tree is a fiercely compelling novel about young people staring into a gritty adult world and fighting for their place in it. I couldn't stop reading because I had to find out what happened to these kids. Una Mannion shoots the lights out with this thrilling literary debut.” — Patrick Ryan, author The Dream Life of Astronauts
“A brilliant novel. Every page is rich in atmosphere, every character is vividly described.” — Sara Baume, author of Spill Simmer Falter Wither
