Crow Lake
A Fiction, Canada, Cultural book. Janie gave me a pen. Mrs. Tadworth gave me a doll....
Dojmljiv roman ove suvremene britanske spisateljice, u čijem su središtu pozornosti četiri lika - Luke, Matt te njihove mlađe sestre Kate i Bo, koji nakon iznenadne smrti roditelja ostaju sami. Pisan u prvom licu, ispresjecan brojnim "flashbackovima" i uspomenama na djetinjstvo, roman se doima kao Kateina osobna ispovijest o njihovim životnim putovima i međusobnim odnosima, a ponajprije o njenoj osobitoj privrženosti Mattu, s kojim je vezana snažnim sponama i koji je najbolje razumije. Emocije, kao vrlo nepoželjan element u obiteljskom životu, krajnje su reducirane i suzdržane, ali su zato snažan konstrukt romana, zapravo njegova temeljna sadržajna potka, koja drži na okupu cjelokupno prozno "zdanje" i tektonski iscrtava karaktere glavnih junaka.

More About Crow Lake
Tomorrow is forever, and years pass in no time at all Mary Lawson, Crow Lake // You see the suffering of children all the time nowadays. Wars and famines are played out before us in our living rooms, and almost every week there are pictures of children who have been through unimaginable loss and horror. Mostly they look very calm. You see them looking into the camera, directly at the lens, and knowing what they have been through you expect to see terror or grief in their eyes, yet so often theres no visible emotion at all. They look so blank it would be easy to imagine that they werent feeling much. And though I do not for a moment... Laurie was just one more dropped stitch in a family tapestry already full of holes.

Book #26 of 2009Back to the serious side of things I guess... I've been chewing on this book for a couple of days now, never being really invested in it to make a big to finishing it, certainly not devouring it like the last five books or so. I'm not even really sure how I feel about it. Its almost anticlimatic in a way. The whole book... I read this book several months ago and am still having a hard time reviewing this properly. To say I loved this book would be a huge understatement. It was such a powerful story and one that stays with you for a long time to come. This is the story of Kate Morrison and her tragic childhood, after being orphaned quite young. I found... This was a simply told and captivating family drama with a northern Ontario setting. Ive never been there but the authors observations of that area in Canada established such a powerful sense of place that the story came alive for me. I grew up in the high plains of eastern Colorado (Kent Haruf territory) and there were parts of this...
