Another Life: Love and division at heart of story of unlived

I felt humbled at the way this novel created such an escape, at this particular time in my life, and grateful for the opportunity to read it. Anna viene da un mondo diverso, dove la religione sin da bambina la prepara alla fine del mondo, le impone tanti divieti, come il sesso prima del matrimonio, eppure quando incontra Nick e prova sentimenti forti che non ha mai provato per nessuno, quello che ha imparato entra in contrasto con ciò che prova. As an adult her love of reading has only increased and she can always be found with her head in a book. Bo jest w powieści Chapman coś niesamowicie przyciągającego, sprawiającego, że czytelnik chce poznać ciąg dalszy tej trochę nostalgicznej, smutnej i uważnie eksplorującej odcienie miłości, książki. Nick’s failures to communicate and Anna’s prickly exterior both get in the way of their love and yet Chapman’s superb characterisation makes their behaviour understandable and fully conceivable.

The changing time period at first I thought I would find jarring as I have in other books, but in Another Life, I found that going back and forward actually helped me to understand the characters more and why they act the way they did, while also keeping a few secrets for the end of the book. Me ha fascinado la estructura, los personajes (tampoco los protagonistas como los secundarios) y el lenguaje, tan sencillo y que consigue transmitir tanto a la vez. This love (in every sense of the word) story will speak to anyone who has felt an enduring, p ainful, yet wonderfully beautiful love. He was matter of fact and understated which contrasted perfectly with Anna’s more dramatic longings.

Quella dei fratelli Mendoza è una famiglia sui generis, i cui membri sono legati dall'affetto, ma anche dall'egoismo delle proprie personalità: la madre è quasi soverchiata da un marito che persegue i propri interessi, Sal è acerbo e impulsivo, Nick fatica a esternare le proprie emozioni, però nessuno è davvero una cattiva persona. The 'what if' moment which we all have, bounces back and forth between the now and the then of Nick and Anna's lives.Questo non è un romanzo facile e certo non racconta una storia di cui ci si innamori a prima vista, una di quelle storie che ti fanno galoppare il cuore fin dall'inizio. We jump from one timeline to several others, and back, throughout the book, which, initially, I found quite confusing, but by the end, I understood.

We’ve assembled a dream cast and chosen six great new books that really are something for everyone’s taste. These other themes add a depth to the story but none of it would have been so gripping if I didn’t care about the characters so much. Despite the back and forth narrative the novel is entirely coherent and intuitively reads well, possibly because the relationship at issue is the linchpin of the entire novel and focal point. Separated by many miles and just as many lies, what will happen when their own daughters’ storylines intersect?Being brought up in such a way, believing certain things and living a life completely different to your contemporaries must be incredibly lonely and isolating. Aun así, creo que no es un libro para todo el mundo; la sinopsis puede dar la idea de que es una historia de amor, pero no es solo eso, va más allá. E poi si strinse a me e premette la bocca sulla mia, e io ero consapevole di giocare con il fuoco, ma a volte non riusciamo a resistere al calore.
