Sheltering Rain: the captivating and emotional novel from the author of Me Before You

Product Information

A real love that survived the slings and arrows of fate that soared, like some kind of 1950's Romeo and Juliet, above the petty and mundane. The kind of love you read about in books, that inspired songs, that lifted you like a bird yet stood solid, like a monolith, vast, all-encompassing, enduring. . . I wanted to know if things would get better after the emotional upheaval that loomed over them like dark clouds that nearly sent the entire family in the brink of destruction. I wanted to know more. Joy, her daughter Kate, and her 16-year-old granddaughter Sabine are quite human (sometimes frustratingly so) as they try to understand themselves and their relationships with one another. This is not a plot-driven novel; it is one of character in which there are some lovely and strongly emotional scenes, and the author’s writing about horses and the Irish countryside is absolutely beautiful. Bueno habiendo despotricado de estas tres mujeres, que a cual esta peor una que la otra, el libro en general no está mal, Jojo Moyes escribe muy bien, por lo tanto, su ejercicio de enlazar la historia familiar de estas tres mujeres, de acercarlas y retratar a una familia, los malos entendidos y los problemas entre padres e hijos, que, todo hay que decirlo, existen en todas las familias, ha logrado en general crear un libro que está pasable.

The milieu Hanmura describes is a uniform one, even if the cast of characters around them differs from place to place, and they are also unified against the changes constantly encroaching on them -- even if there is only so much they can stem the tide. Foreign Fruit“ от 2003 г. печели награда за най-добър роман на годината от Асоциацията на писателите на любовни романи. The Sheltering Rain is a fine little panorama of its place and time -- and changing times -- with an appealing cast of characters from that scene.Shinjuku itself is in a constant state of flux in the novel, being reshaped, replacing the Ginza as the entertainment-heart of the city, and becoming more vibrant (and less seedy) with the expansion of the local trains stations -- which also brings more interest from outsiders, including gangsters. No sabía qué esperar de este libro, por supuesto no un libro que tratara sobre una saga familiar, ha estado bien, pero no sé, creo que me han caído tan mal las protagonistas que no lo he disfrutado.

Pauline Sara Jo Moyes) е английска журналистка и писателка на бестселъри в жанра любовен роман. Пише под псевдонима Джоджо Мойс (на английски: Jojo Moyes). Sabine hates Ireland. She hates the farm and horses, and finds her iron-willed grandmother Joy very difficult to get to know, understand and get on with. Sabine also finds it very difficult to communicate with her old grandfather, misses all her friends and life in London and is still bitter and exasperated with her mother. Over time however, as we learn about all three generations of women and understand them all a bit better, the fragile relationships between the three appear to be slowly mending themselves. Before that happens there is still a lot of heart-ache to go through for all three, secrets to be unearthed and bridges to be built. Foreign Fruit (2003) – издаден и като „ Windfallen“, награда за най-добър любовен роман на годината Joy, la abuela, es de la que conocemos más en cuanto a su historia de vida, la relación que tenía con su madre y la manera en que conoce a Edward el que es su marido, su casamiento y su vida conyugal, pero es una mujer estoica, poco dada a mostrar sus sentimientos, flemática y ciertamente amante de los caballos. En algunos momentos, la actitud de Kate y Sabina se me hacían más de pataleta juvenil que un problema de fondo; mientras que Joy, es muy parecida a la mamá que aparece en Jardín de invierno de Kristin Hannah.I racconti servono a mettere in luce il lato sensibile e fragile della nonna, che sembra fredda e scostante, ma anche in seguito a far emergere segreti sepolti che riescono a riavvicinare madre e figlia scoprendone il lato più umano. So also when he introduces the "Sage of Shinjuku", who: "knows everything about its night life, every bar and club in the district [...] He's not a fortune-teller, but he has a discerning eye", to whom many locals go for advice, but who ultimately proves not to be as reliable as everyone had thought.
