A distinctive blend of literary fiction and psychological thriller.... Precise prose, cool observation, and tight pacing will keep readers turning the pages. This is a memorable twist on the coming-of-age tale., Every character rings true; every observation and reaction feels real. Braiding three separate views of the same incident, Livesey weaves a masterful tapestry of emotion and action focused on the indelible impact of random events., Compelling in its simplicity and complexity. Each page is rich with understanding of how lives fit together and fall apart., An expertly crafted novel of family (and one almost magically good dog) filled with dazzling insights and beauty., How lucky the world is that Margot Livesey has turned her usual keen and sympathetic writer's eye to the Lang children as they struggle to make sense of a terrible crime and the sensitive, mysterious young victim who suffers in the aftermath. From its taut and frightening opening chapter to its final, mournful pages, The Boy in the Field is a tender, deeply humane exploration of family, philosophy, and what it means to grow up, to keep secrets, to care for one another, and most importantly, what it means to hold another's heart in yours, always, with tenderness and mercy., A swift-moving mystery that expands into subtler sorts of narratives -- the coming of age, the family in crisis -- Margot Livesey's ninth novel, The Boy in the Field, once more demonstrates how she's the best sort of pro., With a pointillist's eye and a detective's nose, Livesey has produced a novel that is gorgeous in its lyricism and as kinetic as a whodunit., Written in elegant, spare prose, this story flies swiftly forwards from the transfixing opening pages. A charming, complicated family dynamic, a twist of eerie magic., "Margot Livesey has the unique ability to find the hidden darkness beneath the surface of our lives, no matter how deeply buried. A deceptively simple story that explores the aftermath of a moment of violence, The Boy in the Field amazed me with its insight, and the subtlety of Livesey's beautiful, almost dreamlike prose. She speaks of a sensation -- "quick as a mousetrap, sharp as a thorn" -- and I can't think of a better description of her work. Quick and sharp.", Written with psychological precision and empathy.... Explores the enduring and, in this case, elastic bonds of family love., "Margot Livesey is a literary pointillist whose prose is both impressionistic and as precise as a geometry equation.... Tiny piece by tiny piece, Livesey builds an intimate universe that expands and expands "until it grows large enough, almost, to keep everything else at bay.", "Luminous.... Livesey's language is crystalline-clear and immersive.... Ultimately what keeps Livesey's novel aloft is that it is full of kindnesses ... as well as Livesey's precisely evocative words. At one point, Duncan tears a handful of his sketches in half, "enjoying the decisive sound of fibers parting." Like so many other moments in this novel, that description nails the moment, the character, and the elemental aspect of the book in one fell, satisfactory swoop.", In the broadest sense, Margot Livesey's exquisite novel The Boy in the Field is a whodunit.... But the real mysteries lie elsewhere, specifically and most compellingly with the characters who are witnesses to the crime.... Livesey's writing is quiet, observant and beautifully efficient -- there's not an extra word or scene in the entire book -- and yet simultaneously so cinematic, you can hear the orchestral soundtrack as you tear through the pages., Here, everything and everyone feels real. Maybe because those most sensational details of incidents that would normally be the raison d'etre of a book like this one, with a crime at its center, receive the very welcome nuanced treatment from author Livesey, whose novels have, for a couple of decades now, been successful at making the rich subtext of feeling, memory, and difficult life decisions mulled over, the main event of her stories., With a pointillist's eye and a detective's nose, Livesey has produced a novel that is gorgeous in its lyricism and as kinetic as a whodunnit., I loved every single sentence of The Boy in the Field. This novel is so intricately woven, its world so vibrantly built, its characters so beautifully and empathically wrought. To experience the world as rendered by Margot Livesey is a singular, extraordinary delight.

Synopsis
A New York Times Notable Book of the Year An O Magazine Best Book of the Year The New York Times bestselling author of The Flight of Gemma Hardy delivers another "luminous, unforgettable, and perfectly rendered" (Dennis Lehane) novel--a poignant and probing psychological drama that follows the lives of three siblings in the wake of a violent crime. One September afternoon in 1999, teenagers Matthew, Zoe, and Duncan Lang are walking home from school when they discover a boy lying in a field, bloody and unconscious. Thanks to their intervention, the boy's life is saved. In the aftermath, all three siblings are irrevocably changed. Matthew, the oldest, becomes obsessed with tracking down the assailant, secretly searching the local town with the victim's brother. Zoe wanders the streets of Oxford, looking at men, and one of them, a visiting American graduate student, looks back. Duncan, the youngest, who has seldom thought about being adopted, suddenly decides he wants to find his birth mother. Overshadowing all three is the awareness that something is amiss in their parents' marriage. Over the course of the autumn, as each of the siblings confronts the complications and contradictions of their approaching adulthood, they find themselves at once drawn together and driven apart. Written with the deceptive simplicity and power of a fable, The Boy in the Field showcases Margot Livesey's unmatched ability to "tell her tale masterfully, with intelligence, tenderness, and a shrewd understanding of all our mercurial human impulses" (Lily King, author of Euphoria).

- 2***4 (146)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufI got the Blu ray of STRANDED, a sci Fi movie starring Christian slater and I got it at a really great price from estocks_usa. I'm a bit surprised on how fast they got it to me because of the 4th of July weekend window I'd ordered it in, but it got to me earlier than listed and well wrapped up. It got to me in brand new looking shape. Good seller, fast shipping and they sent me what they advertised.
- p***r (232)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufI ordered the Jefferson Airplane cd 2400 Fulton Street from estocks-USA. It’s a double cd set. It arrived very quickly and was packaged superbly. However upon opening the package I found that only one of the two cds had been shipped. I reached out to the seller to make them aware of the problem. They quickly responded and took responsibility for the mistake. Moreover they immediately refunded my money no other questions asked. These days it’s rare to find a seller that puts the customer first!!!
