But Anna is afraid to give up everything she's ever believed in, and everyone she's ever loved - and going public with Nick would see her ostracised from the community she's belonged to her whole life. Anna has lived a life in a controlled existence preparing for doomsday and living within strict boundaries. I look forward to working my way through the reading list, and joining in the conversation on social media during each episode. Nick’s failures to communicate and Anna’s prickly exterior both get in the way of their love and yet Chapman’s superb characterisation makes their behaviour understandable and fully conceivable. Sono quattrocento pagine che vanno lette sino in fondo, proprio perché il finale è la somma di tutto ciò che è stato.

Another Life - Penguin Books UK

Featuring grief, faith and religion, suicide, emotional abuse and fear of commitment, the author has conveyed these intense emotions delicately and with empathy.She moves between these two cities, disoriented by the fact that, whether high or low, the city seems to offer no answer and no escape. Una historia que parece solo de amor, pero que es en realidad sobre muchos amores, sobre relaciones familiares complejas, sobre duelo, pérdida y esperanza. Tutto questo finché la storia non mi ha portato a riflettere sul titolo, su quegli "esercizi di ricostruzione" che i personaggi sono costretti a fare su stessi, e allora mi è arrivata come un'illuminazione.
