Эдит Патту – лучшие книги

Эдит Патту - американская писательница, которая уже в десять лет была твердо уверена, что будет создавать в своих книгах неповторимый мир, как К.Люьис и Дж.Р.Р.Толкиен. Сейчас ее книги входят в шорт-листы литературных премий, а роман "Восток" получил премию Американской библиотечной ассоциации. Критики единодушно отмечают великолепные аллегории, филигранный стиль и искренность чувств, какие бывают только в детстве. Благодаря таланту Эдит Патту сюжет известной сказки "На восток от солнца, на запад от луны" заиграл новыми красками, словно северное сияние, которое освещало долгий и непростой путь главной героини книги. Добавив скандинавской экзотики и напряженности драматургии, у автора получилась уже совсем другая история.

Нежная. Непривычная. Холодная. Но полная любви и ожидания чуда.

In the sequel to the beloved high fantasy East, Rose sets off on a perilous journey to find her true love when he goes missing in a thrilling tale of danger, magic, adventure, and revenge.

But Rose doesn’t believe the shipwreck was an act of nature, nor does she believe Charles is truly dead. Something much more sinister is at work. With mysterious and unstoppable forces threatening the lives of the people she loves, Rose must once again set off on a perilous journey. And this time, the fate of the entire world is at stake.

On a hot summer night in a midwestern town, a high school teenage prank goes horrifically awry. Alcohol, guns, and a dare. Within minutes, as events collide, innocents becomes victims—with tragic outcomes altering lives forever, a grisly and unfortunate scenario all too familiar from current real-life headlines. But victims can also become survivors, and as we come to know each character through his/her own distinctive voice and their interactions with one another, we see how, despite pain and guilt, they can reach out to one another, find a new equilibrium, and survive.

Told through multiple points of view in naturalistic free verse and stream of consciousness, this is an unforgettable, haunting tale.
