Kates Kindheit im Norden Ontarios endet jäh, als ihre Eltern tödlich verunglücken. Ihre beiden Brüder Luke und Matt beschließen, sie und die kleine Schwester Bo alleine großzuziehen. Halt findet die verschlossene und bildungshungrige Kate vor allem bei Matt, dessen Liebe zur Tier- und Pflanzenwelt auf sie überspringt. Jahre später arbeitet Kate erfolgreich als Biologin an der Universität von Toronto, weit weg von ihrer Heimat. Doch die Geschehnisse von damals schweben immer noch wie ein Schatten über ihr. Als sie für ein Familienfest nach Crow Lake zurückkehrt, gerät ihre Welt erneut aus den Fugen.»Ein höchst beeindruckendes Debüt. Lassen Sie es sich nicht entgehen.« The New York Times Book Review.

Lizenzausgabe. Exclusive Edition for woman&home. 295 (1) Seiten. 17,8 cm. Taschenbuch. Kartoniert. Befriedigender Zustand. Einband leicht knittrig. Canadian writer Mary Lawson's debut novel is a beautifully crafted and shimmering tale of love, death and redemption set in the eponymous Crow Lake, an isolated rural community where time has stood still. Narrated by 26-year-old Kate Morrison, we dive in and out of the troubled woman's childhood memories over the passage of a year--when she was seven and her parents were killed in a motoring accident, leaving Kate, her younger sister Bo and two older brothers Matt and Luke orphaned. The proverbial can of worms is opened for our heroine when she receives an invitation to Matt's son's 18th birthday. The successful zoologist and professor, so accustomed to dissecting everything through a microscope, must suddenly analyse her own relationship and come to terms with her past before she forsakes a future with the man she loves. She is still in turmoil over the events of that fateful summer and winter 20 years ago when the tragedy of another local family, the Pyes, spilled over into their own lives with earth-shattering consequences. One dark night, a shivering Laurie, Pye's only son, stands mute in their porchlight, straining to share something with them but, startled, turns and runs away. The many strange, longing looks which pass between Matt and Marie, Pye's eldest daughter. And the awful night when Marie stands in their doorway whispering unspeakable horrors. In Kate's eyes, the Pye family drown out the hopes and dreams of her own in that one moment. But does the tragedy really lie in the past or is it in the present? Lawson's narrative flows effortlessly in ever-increasing circles, swirling impressions in the reader's mind until form takes shape and the reader is left to reflect on the whole. Crow Lake is a wonderful achievement that will ripple in and out the reader's consciousness long after the last page is turned. --Nicola Perry - - Die Erinnerungen an ihre Kindheit, die von dem tragischen Tod der Eltern überschattet war, hat Kate Morrison seit vielen Jahren verdrängt.

KURZE BESCHREIBUNG/ANMERKUNGEN: Dieses Debüt ist ein seltenes Juwel. So sorgfältig ausbalanciert und wunderbar geschrieben ist diese Geschichte. Und obwohl es um Opfer, Enttäuschung, emotionale Isolation und Familie geht, ist das Ende versöhnlich. The first novel from bestselling, prize-winning Mary Lawson - 'A remarkable novel, utterly gripping...I read it at a single sitting, then I read it again, just for the pleasure of it.' Joanne Harris, author of Chocolat AUSFÜHRLICHERE BESCHREIBUNG: Crow Lake is that rare find, a first novel so quietly assured, so compelling, and with an emotional charge so perfectly controlled, that you sense at once that this is the real thing - a literary experience to relish, a book to lose yourself in, and a name to watch.Here is a gorgeous, slowburning story of families growing up and tearing each other apart in rural Northern Ontario, where tragedy and hardship are mirrored in the landscape. Centre stage are the Morrisons whose tragedy is insidious and divisive. Orphaned young, Kate Morrison was her older brother Matt's protegee, her curious fascination for pond-life fed by his passionate interest in the natural world. Now a zoologist, she can identify organisms under a microscope, but seems blind to the tragedy of her own emotional life. She thinks she's outgrown her family, who were once her entire world - but she can't seem to outgrow her childhood or lighten the weight of their mutual past.
