Before Wings (CL) by Beth Goobie
Beth Goobie just might be the best YA writer in the country. She is, certainly, the most intense, most poetic. And Before Wings is, to my mind, her finest book to date. It is sensationful. The words glow and crackle like summer lightning, vivid and fervent. Again and again she strikes you down with a turn of phrase, and yet, miraculously, the writing never gets in the way of the story, which has the pulse-quickening pace of a thriller. Before Wings is many things: a love story, a mystery, a heartful prayer, but, best of all, it is a marvelous good read. -Tim Wynne-Jones Having barely survived a brain aneurysm two years earlier, fifteen-year-old Adrien, working at her Aunt Erin's summer camp, is caught between the land of the living and the spirit world, unsure where she belongs. Faced with the knowledge that another potentially fatal aneurysm could strike her at any time, Adrien struggles to understand the message delivered by the spirits of the five young women that only she sees - a message that seems to hold the key to the dark secret that haunts her aunt. Beth Goobie is the award-winning author of fourteen books of fiction, poetry and drama. She presently lives in Saskatchewan.| SKU | Nicht verfügbar |
