Relation As Books Comme un conte
Tara n’avait pas seize ans lorsqu’elle a disparu sans laisser de trace. Son corps n’a jamais été retrouvé, mais dans sa famille, on a fini par se faire à l’idée qu’on ne la reverrait plus. Pourtant, vingt ans plus tard, le soir de Noël, on frappe trois coups à la porte de ses parents.Tara se tient sur le seuil. Une Tara fatiguée, sale, échevelée… mais qui n’a pas vieilli d’une ride. Elle explique sa longue absence par l’appel du voyage, mais les incohérences de son récit laissent son frère et son ancien compagnon sceptiques. La vérité qu’elle finit par leur avouer semble plus incroyable encore : elle aurait été enlevée par des fées… Entre amnésie et aliénation, à quel point le fantasme se mêle-t-il à la réalité ?

My head is spinning. This book was utter craziness and I enjoyed every minute of it. I absolutely could not put it down.Tara tells a very interesting story (fairy tale?) about what happened to her while she was missing. The whole story unfolds from several different perspectives - Tara, Peter, Richie and Dr. Underwood, a psychiatrist that was hired to help determine what might be going on with Tara. Of course Dr. Underwood has many psychiatric explanations for Taras story and it is a bitA fairy tale...on the other hand, demands of the reader total surrender; so long as he is in its world, there must for him be no other. W.H. Audenthis is the epigraph which opens chapter three of joyce's novel, and it is a good place to start. this is a deceptively immersive type of storytelling, one which compels the reader forward, accepting the magical elements willingly, but then jarringly calling attention to the novel's very structure, questioning how much is "reality" and how much is
I've never heard of Graham Joyce before, but I plan to read more of his work. I loved this book. Not perfect, some flaws near the end (but that is subjectively based on my own feminine needs), but so inventive and original. It was very hard to put this down. Fans of Tana French's In the Woods will enjoy this too. Very British, heavy on place (set near some mysterious ancient woodlands over a volcanic fault), with a bit of a mystery thrown in.It also starts on Christmas day, so perfect time of
This is easily the novel I have enjoyed the most this year. I loved every minute of it and didn't want it to end.I've not read any Graham Joyce before but I'll certainly be reading more of his work now. Simply beautiful.
My Number 9 Read for 2015 A Wonderful Surprise - 5 Stars I picked this book up on a whim. The premise sounded rather interesting and I thought it was worth a shot. That said, there was little trepidation as I realized the book contained magical realism. My experience with this have ranged from great examples in the work of José Saramago to painful uses in drivel such as, The Boy Detective Fails. Having no previous experience with Graham Joyce, I was pleasantly surprised to see that he had a
This book was a bit of an emotional ride. I knew Graham and liked him, and his death at such a young age came as quite a shock to me. For that reason I'd been putting off reading SOME KIND OF FAIRYTALE, but now that I have, it seems only fair to say that it's a marvellous story; subtle, nuanced and intelligent, filled with resonance and wonder and darkness. I can hear the author's voice very clearly; quiet and a little ironic, so close it's almost heartbreaking. Read it - it's special in all
