Müthiş zekice yazılmış bir kitap. Çok uzun laflara gerek kalmadan yazar bize günümüzde bile yaşadığımız bazı gerçekleri gösteriyor. Bu kadar iyi olmasını beklemiyordum. İleride kesinlikle tekrar okuyacağım kitaplar listesine de eklendi.
Okumadan önce kitaptaki karakterlerin gerçek hayatta kimi temsil ettiğini bulmak ve kısa da olsa komünizm tarihi öğrenmek, kitabı daha da iyi anlamakta yardımcı olabilir.
Herkese tavsiyemdir.
I was unsure as to my rating of the book. It truly flowed very easily, and it was written in a simple but good language. I liked the way chapters were connected but also far apart in time and still everything in the story itself made sense.
The characters and plot is a whole other story. At the start what promised to be a good character development failed for me. Connell’s story and portrayal was quite realistic, with nice scenes that helped the reader understand him. However, I cannot say the same for Marianne. I love her, truly, and that’s why I was even more disappointed. By the end it seemed to me that she was solely created for the purpose of shaping Connell’s life. At times it is as if she is not a human even, just a random object to hold together his feelings and emotions.
She is at first intelligent, and has strong political opinions. Then all that is gone. I understand what is trauma, and it would be perfectly fine her stopping to express her views, but trauma doesn’t make things vanish. Your feelings, your opinions, whether muted or strong they are still inside you. One moment Marianne is full and intelligent, the other moment she is blank like a robot reset. And the whole situation with the family abuse and hate, but them still supporting her financially, allowing her to use their homes and summer villas, was even more unrealistic. It’s my first time seeing such supportive abusers.
This is just my personal opinion, and obviously at the end I was quite unsure whether I liked the book or not.
