( ) A well-written book with some nice, fancy words (reify, noctilucent come to mind), but I didn't get it. One of the reviews mentions a version with the author's comments at the end; I wish I could read them. When Meg gets on the school bus for her son, Charlie, she realizes that the boy on the bus is not her son. Or is he? Everyone is always changing, aging, maturing, new cells are born and old ones die, mannerisms, behaviors evolve: At what point do changes become too drastic? Why does no one else say that they have noticed what Meg notices? Finally, what kind of person is the boy?
Meg Landry expected it to be a day like any other -- her asthmatic eight-year-old son would step off the bus, home from school. But on this day, the boy on the bus doesn't seem to be Meg's son. Though he shares Charlie's copper hair, tea-brown eyes, and slight frame, there is something profoundly, if indefinably, different about him. In the wake of Meg's quiet alarm, her far-flung family returns home, and unease sets in. Neither Charlie's father nor Charlie's rebellious teenage sister can help Meg settle the question of the boy. They look to her for certainty -- after all, shouldn't a mother know her own child? Deborah Schupack has crafted an extraordinary tale of a mother's love for her son and the mystery that may ultimately rip them apart. Tense and atmospheric, this debut offers a rare combination of intellectual sophistication and gripping suspense. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
