The story is that of Yugen, a Buddhist monk who sets out from his mountain monastery into the world to fulfil his mentor’s dying request; and of Chicken, the granddaughter of an abalone diver, who worries that the way of life lived by generations of her family is becoming extinct; and of Lilli, the sister/cousin of Chicken, who escaped island life to live in the city. As each person’s story slowly unwinds, secrets are revealed and the connection between the monk and the diving women becomes apparent. The novel is part stream of consciousness, part memories, part tales of the past. It is beautifully written, filled with wonderful imagery, ultimately joyful, a pleasure to read. ( ) Going into Year 7 and not being a very bookish person, I picked this up and thoroughly enjoyed reading. The Sea Bed is an fantastic story for anybody looking for an story. The characters are fascinating yet there is a facet to each that you can relate to. I recommend this to readers from year 6 above for an easy yet deep read that will flow easily in your head yet have an array of surprise that only these characters would experience sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
An intriguing, understated and beautiful narrative, this is the story of a Buddhist monk, who has to travel to a remote fishing village on a task of love and duty, and a young woman who is also returning to the village of her birth. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
