Review: Doctor Thorne

Doctor Thorne Doctor Thorne by Anthony Trollope
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Ohhh, those Victorian melodramas, with women fainting at the slightest bit of good news and men who are such gentlemen. Oh my gosh, there was a lot of trash out there too, for heaven’s sake, but still, it’s okay to dream.

Ohhh i drammoni vittoriani, con donne che svengono alle belle notizie e uomini che sono dei gran signori. Oddio c'era anche tanta mondezza per caritá, ma insomma, resta lecito sognare.

Review: The Chronology of Water

The Chronology of Water The Chronology of Water by Lidia Yuknavitch
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

A very unique book, not so much for its themes—such as sexual and drugs abuse—but rather for the way the author recounts her own life. Although I wouldn’t exactly call it a rebirth, because life is always a process—at least while it lasts—perhaps I’d say that redemption is the right word: a life saved first by swimming and then by writing. Quite a stroke of luck, I’d say, given how things were turning out...

Un libro molto particolare, se non tanto per i temi come l'abuso sessuale e di stupefacenti, quanto piuttosto per come la vita dell'autrice viene da lei stessa raccontata. Anche se non parlerei proprio di rinascita, perché la vita é sempre un processo, almeno finché dura, forse direi che riscatto é la parola corretta, una vita salvata prima dal nuoto e poi dalla scrittura. Una bella fortuna direi, visto come si stavano mettendo le cose...
