Ova mi se više dopala od Absent in the Spring. Sumnjala sam da će to biti slučaj kad sam pročitala sinopsis ove knjige, ali prevarila sam se.
Ovde se upoznajemo sa Laurom. Ona nije ni po čemu posebna. Čak joj ni roditelji nisu nešto privrženi. Kada njen stariji brat Čarls premine, Laura se nadala da će sada ona konačno postati centar sveta svojih roditelja. Ali kada sazna da je njena majka ponovo trudna, Laura se predaje mračnim mislima...
Gospodin Baldok, od milošte Baldi, postao mi je brzo jedan od omiljenih likova. Kako da ne zavolite simpatičnog i džangrizavog starca koji najviše voli da provodi svoje vreme zatvoren u biblioteci. On je Laurin jedini prijatelj koji je savetuje i prenosi joj životne mudrosti.
Jedino što mi se nije dopalo su poslednja dva dela i Llewelyn (kako god da se ovo izgovara? Levin? Luin?). Nije mi se dopala količina religije koja je odjednom uletela s njim u ovo delo i on me uopšte nije zanimao. Ni on, ni njegove vizije. Na kraju mi je ispao čak i malo jeziv. Kraj je odlično poentiran, ali moglo je to isto da se učini sa nekim drugim likom, a ne sa njim.
Moja trenutna top lista Meri Vestmakot romana je sledeća:
1. The Burden
2. Absent in the Spring
Two down, four more to go!

It was exquisite, the way to uncover the human nature with all its deep, anxious feelings.Especially of love; the conflict of weather to be loved or to love.

It’s not bad, the plot was so obvious but i liked the atmosphere of the story It self without the mystery, kinda reminded me of “we have always lived in the castle”.

I listened to this the first time in 2020 and gave it 3 stars. Recently I decided to give it another go and I was happy I did. If I hadn't known this was written by Christy I wouldn't have guessed it but as I knew it I could see settle similarities with her books under Mary Westmacott and her crime novels under her own name. The story was oddly compelling, can't really put a finger on why I enjoyed it more this time around.

I don’t quite know how to process this book. I will literally just finish it. I have mixed feelings on the ending. I have 1 million problems the representation of disabled people and chronically ill people in this book, but I’ve got to remember it was public in 1956 there, is rampant sexism in this book, which is weird, considering it was written by a woman, I have clarify, but it mainly feels sexist because the mc does not challenge any of the male characters when they say something ridiculous about woman groups might be the point . I am an atheist, so I don’t particularly connect with one of the main themes of the book but it didn’t bother me too much. I don’t know if I would recommend this book but there we go. I’m conflicted.
