Content Note: abuse, domestic violencePlot: Elektra was adopted from Greece when she was eight. Now a teenager called Kit Kat in the USA with a single mother who expects her to forget that she ever had a life before her, she is at a loss. That’s when she stumbles upon a copy of Jane Eyre and in reading it, finds a kindred spirit in Jane. She starts to write letters to her to work through her past and her present, finding parallels in her life to the life of Jane Eyre. Dear Jane felt a little too much like misery porn to me to really enjoy it. It does have good grasp on the characters, but I felt like they heaped a little too much on Elektra/Kit Kat – and then veered into positivity too quickly.

A story of letters written to Jane Eyre, that tell the story of Elektra's life. This was a short story written in the form of letters. I liked the layout and the idea but I found there wasnt much to the actual story. It lacked some of the detail I expected. That being said I loved all the references to Jane Eyre. Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing. I had a very hard time with this book. I couldn’t get into the story. It does not read, to me, like anything written by a 15 to 18-year-old. The order of the vignette, as that is basically what each chapter is, don’t make sense to me. As diary entries I would have expected them to be more jumbled, with something happening the day the entry was written to bring it up. Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing. Too many parts of this highly dreary novel just did make sense, including the premise of writing diary entries to Jane Eyre, which actually has very few parallels, and all in the very beginning. Also, there was one chapter that I could have excused for its indecency if it further the plot or even had any bearing on the rest of the story. Premios
2019 Maxy Awards "Best Young Adult""With sophisticated prose, this gritty coming-of-age story blends the familiar and the unthinkable as the lead learns to use her voice." -KIRKUS REVIEWSKit Kat was born in Athens, Greece. Her mother was a prostitute, and their protector was a pimp. After an early childhood marked by violence, homelessness, and time in an orphanage, a Greek-American woman adopted her and moved her to New York. Kit Kat was eight years old, with a new name, a new country, and a new mother who tried to silence her memories and experiences. She sought refuge in books, and after a failed suicide attempt at the age of thirteen, she discovered Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre. This book saved her life, and at fifteen, Kit Kat begins to write letters to Jane Eyre as a means of surviving a childhood she still remembers, the family she left behind, and the new mother that refuses to acknowledge her past.Kit Kat's letters to Jane Eyre demonstrate the resilience and power that she derives from Jane's own dark narrative and the parallels between their lives that include being neglected, unloved, poor, orphaned, and almost destroyed by the madwoman in their lives. This coming of age and semi-autobiographical novel is about family, loss, forgiveness, and the power of a good book. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
