The Light That Gets Lost

Autor Natasha Carthew
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 9 noi 2016 – vârsta de la 12 ani
A small boy hiding in a cupboard witnesses something no child should ever see. He tries not to look but he still hears it. And when he comes out, there's no mistaking. His mum and dad have been killed. And though he's only small, he swears that he'll get revenge one day. Years later, Trey goes to a strange camp that is meant to save troubled teenagers. It's packed with crazies, god-botherers, devoted felons and broken kids. Trey's been in and out of trouble ever since the day the bad thing happened, but he's not here for saving: this is where he'll find the man who did it. Revenge and healing, salvation and hell are a boiling, dangerous mix, and Trey finds himself drawn to a girl, a dream and the offer of friendship in the dark .

Recenzii

Gripping stuff, Carthew's prose has a startling ferocity
The prose is often eccentric, quirky and vernacular, and sometimes poetic, with a magical and lyrical rhythm. Superb! Highly recommended
A vivid, imagistic language.
'The Light That Gets Lost' is a wild and dangerous story and a beautiful one, too.It's rough and taciturn and frank and, at times, utterly shocking. But it's also deeply, deeply intimate.
It's wholly original, a novel that could only have been written by Natasha Carthew. The camp, the earth beneath, the sky above, are so vividly described, we feel the soil under fingernails, smell the sunshine. Carthew's language is enthralling, she uses Cornish dialect words rooted in the landscape described, and her writing has its own poetry.
The lyrical and expressive writing style breathes life into this absorbing story.
Carthew delivers a gripping story in intense, powerful prose.
Languid but ultimately uplifting.
