Articoli correlati a Flora
Ten-year-old Helen and her summer guardian, Flora, are isolated together in Helen's dilapidated family home while her father is doing secret war work during the final months of the Second World War. At three Helen lost her mother and the beloved grandmother who raised her has just died. A fiercely imaginative child, Helen is desperate to keep her house intact with all its ghosts and stories. Flora, her late mother's twenty-two-year old first cousin, who cries at the drop of a hat, is ardently determined to do her best for Helen. Their relationship and its fallout, played against the backdrop of a lost America, will haunt Helen for the rest of her life.

Recensione:
Word-perfect and taut ... A luminously written, heartbreaking book (John Irving)
The perfect summer read can come in unexpected guises ... Dive into its deep waters and witness a novelist at the peak of her powers (Melissa Katsoulis The Times)
A beautiful examination of character and the far reaching repercussions of our actions. Gail Godwin brings grace, honesty, and enormous intelligence to every page (Ann Patchett)
If it reminds me of any other novel it's actually Atonement, but, dare I say it, Flora is a sharper, clearer portrait of a life lived remorsefully (Observer)
Flora is Godwin at her best, a compelling story . Told with fearless candor and the poignant wisdom of hindsight (Valerie Miner Boston Globe)
Perfect summer evening: a garden, a glass of wine and a novel like this one, both highly intelligent and thoroughly engaging (Kate Saunders Saga)
