*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
Considerada como la mejor novela juvenil de 2014 por el Publishers Weekly y el School Library Journal, a Orillas de un mismo recuerdo es la mejor novela de Laurie Halse Anderson hasta la fecha, conmovedora, sorprendente e imposible de dejar de leer.
Durante los cinco últimos años, Hayley Kincaid y su padre Andy han tenido una vida errante, sin una residencia estable; él ha hecho intentos por escapar de los demonios que le han estado torturando desde que volvió de la guerra de Irak. Ahora que han vuelto a la ciudad en la que él creció, Hayley por fin podrá dedicarse a sus estudios. Y quizá vez, por primera vez, podrá tener una vida normal, dejando de lado sus propios recuerdos llenos de dolor, tal vez incluso pueda tener una relación con Finn, un atractivo chico que parece sentir algo por ella pero que también esconde sus propios secretos.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Despite my best intentions, I was beginning to understand how my dad saw the world. The shadows haunting every living thing. The secrets inside the lies wrapped in bullshit. Even Gracie’s box of pills was beginning to make sense.
For the past five years, Hayley Kincain and her father, Andy, have been on the road, trying to outrun the memories that haunt them both. They moved back to Andy’s hometown to try a “normal” life, but the horrors he saw in the war threaten to destroy their lives. Hayley watches, helpless, as her father turns to drugs and alcohol to silence his demons. And then her own past creeps up, and everything falls apart.
How do you keep your father alive when death is stalking him? What are you supposed to do when your parent stops acting like an adult? And what happens if a sweet guy who can make you laugh barges his way into your world and for the first time, you find yourself thinking about the future?
Timely, compelling, surprising — this is Laurie Halse Anderson at her finest.
