Articoli correlati a Be My Wolff
Zachariah and Rachel are as star-crossed as two lovers can be. Rachel is the cherished daughter of a Russian family living in London--the artistic, mysterious Wolffs; Zach is her parents' adopted son who arrived from the orphanage with one sweater and a head full of curls and immediately stole Rachel's heart. As children, they became inseparable. But when they crossed a forbidden line, there was no going back. Now, as an adult, coping with her father's censure, Rachel decides to invent an ancestral history for her beloved: from a tavern-educated boxer in Dickensian times, to a Hussar at the Battle of Borodino during the Napoleonic Wars. Even as their real-life problems threaten to invade their imagined world, the threads of Rachel's story spin faster and faster. Filled with art and science, fairy tales and folk songs, tsars and foundlings, Be My Wolff is a wondrous, funny and tragic tale of astonishing beauty.

Recensione:
“Erudite, sexy, richly textured, and packed with delights. Like Salinger’s Glass family or Wes Anderson’s Tenenbaums, the Wolff siblings seem to crash in on the terrestrial world from some more eccentric orbit.” —Garth Risk Hallberg, author of City on Fire
“Rachel and Zach speak in a crackling lingo that’s rich in languages, history, fairy tales, memories and romantic love . . . Her tender, patient brilliance [is] the perfect foil for his wise physicality and unconscious force . . . The many, centuries-spanning, highly imagined worlds Richler re-creates here depart from and heighten Rachel and Zach’s present-day narrative.” —Booklist
"Jewel-like bits of fable and fact are interwoven with modern-day conversations . . . as the tale of the Wolff family unfolds and reaches back into history in adroit and surprising ways." —Library Journal
“Ambitious . . . Exuberant . . . The best parts of the narrative lie in the quiet moments when Rachel and Zach confront their questionable brand of love and the tumultuous effect it has on their lives and loved ones.” —Publishers Weekly
