Non è il "thriller" dell'anno, se di thriller vogliamo parlare... Ma indubbiamente carino. Da rileggere, in futuro, quando avrò la mente sgombra. Il titolo non ha senso, come al solito. I titoli italiani raramente hanno a che fare con i romanzi... In genere vengono tradotti per fare marketing. Per adesso 3 stelline. A seguito della rilettura vedremo se varrà la pena aumentare. Good Until the Ending Most of this book is excellent. Beautifully written, with great insights into the thoughts of a young woman in this situation. There are many instances of professors taking advantage of students like this, probably at every school. The story of how these young women work through their emotions is fascinating, but I wish the author had left it at that. The addition at the end of a crazy woman with a gun, one who wears many disguises (to fill in several deep plot holes), ruined the book for me. It was totally unbelievable and dragged a sensitive, emotionally genuine story into the realm of cliche and cheap thrills. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

"Twenty-two-year-old Ruby Rousseau is haunted by memories of Tarble, the women's college she fled from ten months earlier, and the painful love affair that pushed her to the brink of tragedy. When a suitcase belonging to a former classmate named Beth arrives on her doorstep, Ruby is plunged into a dark mystery. Beth has gone missing, and the suitcase is the only tangible evidence of her whereabouts. Inside the bag, Ruby discovers a tattered copy of Virginia Woolf's A Room of One's Own, the book she believes was a harbinger of her madness. Is someone trying to send her a message-- and what does it mean? The search for answers leads to Tarble. As Ruby digs into Beth's past, she has no choice but to confront her own-- an odyssey that will force her to reexamine her final days at school, including the married professor who broke her heart and the ghosts of illustrious writers, dead by their own hand, who beckoned her to join their tragic circle" -- from author's web site.
