À propos de cet audio

 July 1954. An island off the coast of Maine. Ann Grant, a 25-year-old New York career girl, is a bridesmaid at her best friend's lavish wedding. Also present is a man named Harris Arden, whom Ann has never met.

After three marriages and five children, Ann Lord lies dying in an upstairs bedroom of a house in Cambridge, Massachusetts. What comes to her, eclipsing a stream of doctor's visits and friends stopping by and grown children overheard whispering from the next room, is a rush of memories from a weekend 40 years ago in Maine, when she fell in love with a passion that even now throws a shadow onto the rest of her life. In Evening, Susan Minot gives us a novel of spellbinding power on the nature of memory and love.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"A brilliant lyric performance." (John Casey)
"Her best work yet, assured, supple, exhilarating in its nerve and cool momentum." (Joan Didion)
"In spare and lovely language, Susan Minot has set forth a real life, in all its particularity and splendor and pain. This is the task of the novelist, and in Evening Minot has succeeded admirably." (The New York Times Book Review)

Les plus pertinents
Minot expertly weaves together the past and present of a woman nearing the end. Her writing is almost meditative. I found myself ebbing and flowing through the memories and present pain of lead character. This novel displays a unique perspective of a lifetime and how some moments and people leave deep impressions. The narrator, Kathryn Walker, has a voice that suits the story. The only criticism: the lead-in and lead-out music in this recording was unnecessary. The musical score at the end in particular had an unsettling undertone, which was unfitting with Minot's voice and intended ending. Death isn't always scary or spooky, sometimes it just is.
