Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Told with an integrity that makes it compelling . . . The reader gains full confidence in characterizations that are both complex and especially well rendered."--New York Times

"Pulls the reader into its clutches, then refuses to let go. As Beryl Fonteyn recounts her troubled but not unusual childhood, Davis-Gardner's seductive poetics lure us on. . . . Captivating."--Boston Globe

"Rarely has an author confronted more honestly one of the deepest betrayals of the notion of family... A deeply moving piece of literature."--Los Angeles Times

"Davis-Gardner skillfully renders the fine lines that connect sympathy, intimacy and menace. . . . A wise novel."--Washington Post

"A strong and wise book . . . Angela Davis-Gardner writes with integrity."--Kaye Gibbons

"What a strong voice Angela Davis-Gardner has, and what a listening heart. Forms of Shelter shows the transcendent power of childhood to heal itself when the adult world cannot or will not."--Anne Rivers Siddons

Reseña del editor:
