Finché sarò tua figlia
Finché sarò tua figlia | Elizabeth Little
È stato acclamato da lettori e librai come uno dei thriller psicologici più incalzanti degli ultimi anni, grazie alla voce di una protagonista incredibilmente dura, ribelle e tormentata. La storia di una madre e di una figlia. E di un amore così forte che a volte può somigliare all’odio. Il cielo è immenso sopra di lei ed è così blu da fare male. Janie stringe gli occhi per non rimanere accecata. Non è più abituata a tutta quella luce. Janie ha ventotto anni, ma gli ultimi dieci anni della sua vita li ha trascorsi in prigione, in cella di isolamento. Proprio lei, bella ragazza ricca di Beverly Hills, viziata reginetta del liceo. L’accusa è quella di aver ucciso sua madre Marion, una donna molto esigente con cui non aveva un bel rapporto. Perché Janie era un’adolescente ribelle e contestatrice e sua madre non faceva nulla per nascondere la sua delusione di non avere la figlia perfetta. Tutte le prove erano contro di lei. Dopo l’ennesima notte di baldoria, è stata trovata priva di sensi accanto al cadavere della madre. Le mani sporche del suo sangue e le sue impronte dappertutto. Incapace di raccontare quello che è successo. Ma Janie ha sempre saputo di essere innocente. Ricorda poco della notte dell’omicidio, lo shock le ha confuso la mente, ma sa di aver sentito sua madre avere un alterco con uno sconosciuto e un nome, Adelina. E adesso che il suo avvocato è riuscito a farla uscire di prigione, Janie non ha dubbi. Deve scoprire cosa è successo, deve dimostrare, soprattutto a sé stessa, di non essere colpevole. Deve diventare la figlia che Marion ha sempre sognato. Adelina è una città dell’Illinois. È lì che Janie deve andare se vuole capire la verità. Una città piccola e sperduta in mezzo alla campagna. Una comunità chiusa che guarda con sospetto e ostilità la nuova arrivata. E che nasconde tutte le risposte che Janie cerca. Non solo sulla morte di Marion, ma anche sulla sua vita e sulla sua vera identità. Mai come adesso Janie sente di conoscere la donna che per prima l’ha tenuta tra le braccia... Finché sarò tua figlia è un esordio impossibile da dimenticare. Venduto in contemporanea in 20 paesi, ha scalato tutte le classifiche bestseller in soli due giorni.

Good premise. Terrible main character. She felt not fully fleshed out as to who the author wanted her to be so it was a jumble of multiple personalities, none of which I felt any sympathy for.

I can‘t even imagine believing you‘re not a murderer but wondering if you somehow forgot. I loved this book. Lots of surprises but a few “I knew it‘s!†so you feel like you‘re figuring some things out. After 10 years in prison, upon her release, Jane decides to find out the truth.

I quite enjoyed this book beginning to end. It wasn‘t a completely guessable ending, and the main character‘s narrative is hilarious.

Making a complete 180 from the last book...I‘ve been meaning to read this one forever. It‘s embarrassing how long a lot of my books wait for me to read them🙈

The plot for this story had potential; a girl is convicted of killing her mom and released from prison 10 years later when evidence was compromised. Girl, now a woman, goes in search of the real killer. I didn‘t like the MC; she is a privileged, selfish, rich snot. The “Paris Hilton†resemblance was annoying. This book really could have been so much better. #MountTBR #LitsyAtoZ #LetterD #ReadingUSA2019 #SouthDakota

squirrelbrain That‘s a shame as I needed one for South Dakota.... 6y
Librarybelle I wouldn‘t be a fan of a character resembling Paris Hilton either... 6y

I'm having difficulty switching from #LilacGirls to any other book. 😕 It was so deep and vulnerable! Everything else right now seems a little lame. 😒

BookishMarginalia That's a tough one! You could try something that usually helps me: Switch gears completely. Try nonfiction (audiobooks are great -- have you tried Lab Girl or Born a Crime?) or a graphic novel. 8y
Morgan7r @BookishMarginalia I will definitely look those up! I don't find myself in this position too often but I guess it just proves what a great book it was! Thanks!! 8y

This wasn't as good as I thought it would be. I it think that has mostly to do with the fact that I read this right after Gone Girl and it didn't live to the book high I was already on. I would recommend it if your looking to stick in the same genre as the Gone Girl world.
