Sylvie is a treat - a brilliant narrator. It's also very refreshing to have a novel set so convincingly in Australia, and also well written. Highly recommended. ( ) This is a lovely, sad novel set in 1950s and 60s regional Australia and telling the story of a young girl's coming of age, as she struggles with a neglectful father, over-stressed mother, grinding poverty and the disappearance of her brother. It's told through the child's eyes, which initially grated on me - I've read too many books recently where part of the narrative charm has been the inability of the narrator to understand things that the reader quickly figures out. I eventually warmed to the narrator, and found a lot to like in McCourt's rendering the natural beauty and harshness of her setting and the struggles of small town working class life. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Sylvie is five. It's the 1950s and she lives in Burley Point, a fishing village south of the Coorong on Australia's wild southern coast. She worships her older brother Dunc. She tries to make sense of her brooding mother, and her moody father who abandons the family to visit The Trollop, Layle Lewis, who lives across the lagoon. It's hard to keep secrets in a small town, but when Dunc goes missing, Sylvie is terrified that she is the cause. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
