Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

* "Abelove lifts Mindy's feelings of isolation and grief to a metaphoric level, making it a story about leaving childhood behind,"--Publishers Weekly, starred review

"This brief but powerful novel relates Mindy's thoughts and feelings during the very painful month preceding her mother's death. Through journal entries, narration, and flashbacks, the 16-year-old relates the course of her mother's illness from the numbing diagnosis of "brain tumor" to her eventual demise. . . . A beautifully written and tender portrayal of one young woman coming to grips with loss."--School Library Journal

"Complex but also vibrant and infused with tenderness."--Booklist

"Abelove moves from the exotic rain forest of her debut, Go and Come Back (1998), to more familiar suburban territory for this anguish-ridden tale of a teenager whose mother is terminally ill."--Kirkus Reviews

Reseña del editor:

With the help of her best friend, sixteen-year-old Mindy sorts through her relationships with her solicitous mother and her detached father as she tries to come to terms with the fact that her mother is dying from a brain tumor. Reprint.
